YOU DON’T HAVE A TIME PROBLEM. YOU HAVE A FOCUS PROBLEM. Most people work 8 hours a day but only produce 2 hours of value. They mistake "busy" for "productive." They let distractions rob them of their potential. That ends today. Welcome to PomoJava. This isn't just a timer. It is a discipline engine designed to force you into Deep Work so you can get more done in less time. We combined the proven Pomodoro technique with advanced visual cues and ruthless analytics to help you master your attention span. WHY POMOJAVA? 1. VISUALIZE YOUR EFFORT (THE COFFEE CUP) Willpower is a finite resource. PomoJava reduces the cognitive load of tracking time. - Fill The Cup: As you work, your coffee cup fills. It gives you immediate, visual feedback on your progress. - Gamify Your Focus: Watching the cup fill triggers the dopamine reward loop, making it easier to stick to the task at hand. 2. MEASURE TO MANAGE (DETAILED ANALYTICS) You cannot improve what you do not measure. Ignorance debt is costing you money and time. PomoJava gives you the hard data on your work habits. - Track Your Volume: See exactly how many hours of actual Deep Work you logged today, this week, and this month. - Consistency Tracking: View your streaks and daily activity grids. Don't break the chain. - Level Up: Watch your status go from "Starter" to "Builder" as you put in the reps. Volume x Time = Skill. 3. SEAMLESS SYNC (NO FRICTION) Friction kills productivity. PomoJava works where you work. - Cross-Device Sync: Start a session on your phone, track stats on your tablet. Your data is always up to date. - Cloud Backup: Never lose your progress history. THE FEATURES - Customizable Deep Work Timer: Set your ideal focus duration (Default 55m for maximum depth). - Smart Breaks: Scheduled downtime to recharge your cognitive battery. - Focus Analytics: Break down your efficiency by Day, Week, Month, Quarter, and Year. - Minimalist Interface: No clutter. No fluff. Just you and the work. WHO IS THIS FOR? - Entrepreneurs who need to move the needle on revenue-generating activities. - Students who need to study without burning out. - Creators who need to enter a flow state on command. - Anyone tired of ending the day wondering where the time went. THE PHILOSOPHY: Success comes from doing the unattractive work for an unreasonable amount of time. PomoJava is the tool that helps you do that work. Don't let another hour slip away to distraction. Download PomoJava. Fill the cup. Do the work. Get started now. EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

About

FocusDo

Features
Read full description

FocusDo is a minimal to-do list with a Focus Mode. Write down what needs doing, enter Focus Mode, and the screen shows only the task in front of you — plus a pair of eyes watching you finish it. Slip off to another app, and the Dynamic Island reminds you to come back. No timers. No streaks. No guilt. Just a short list, one task in front of you, and something quietly keeping you on it. ADHD-friendly by design: built for people who struggle to start, drift off easily, or lose the whole afternoon without knowing where it went. 【Focus Mode: it watches you finish this one】 Swipe into Focus Mode and your list disappears. One task fills the screen — nothing else. Swipe it away when it's done. Turn your phone sideways and prop it on the desk, and it becomes a sticky note with one thing written on it. On the screen is a pair of hand-drawn eyes, watching you the whole time: stall too long and they get sleepy, finish a task and they light up, tap them and they wink back. 【Dynamic Island: it notices when you leave】 Slip out to scroll your phone and FocusDo stays in the Dynamic Island and on your Lock Screen, showing what you were doing and how many tasks are left. It reminds you to come back every so often, and you can turn it off any time. Pro members can set their own reminder interval. Getting distracted isn't failure. Coming back is what counts. 【Auto-archive: only what matters today】 Tasks auto-archive after a day or a week — your choice. Nothing is deleted; it's all one tap away in Archive. Your list only ever shows what's in front of you right now, so it never becomes the thing you avoid. 【Minimal: write it down, do it, cross it out】 No folders, no tags, no priority levels, no settings rabbit hole. A black-and-white, hand-drawn notepad. More • Reminders for individual tasks • Section headings with icons to group your list • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets • Black and White themes • Hand-drawn or system font, three sizes • iPad supported • iCloud sync across your devices (Pro) • Custom reminder interval (Pro) FocusDo Pro Pro unlocks iCloud sync, custom reminder intervals, and unlimited section headings, plus every premium feature we add in the future.
