Sometimes I wonder how much time I have spent on a meaningful endeavor, or how I can set goals to help myself consistently work towards it. Thus, I build the Prism. Prism allows you to track/set time spending on a project base, with a set of rule-of-thumb time management tools. Hope this little Prism can help you focus on the things you really want to do (it has helped me a lot at least). Feel free to leave a comment on the features you'd like Prism to incorporate!

About

Pomo Focus

Features
Read full description

【Pomo Focus】 is a calm focus timer that turns every work cycle into a gentle rhythm — quiet reminders, immersive soundscapes, and clear insights help you stay present without pressure. **Rhythmic Focus Modes** Choose Pomodoro, Meeting, or Breathing to fit the moment. Each mode runs on a wall-clock timer that stays accurate even after the app moves to the background, with optional Progressive Pomodoro for slowly stretching your sessions. **Immersive Soundscapes** Blend rain, birdsong, white noise, and office chatter with Soft, Heavy, or Storm variants. Save your favorite mix and bring it back instantly the next day. **Flow Insights** Review your daily flow score, current streak, four-week habit calendar, and optimal focus window. Every chart updates from your real local sessions, never from prefilled samples. **Journey & Milestones** Earn XP for every completed session, climb through level titles such as Flow Walker and Zen Master, and collect milestones that reflect your real practice — seven-day streaks, deep work hours, breathing rituals, and more. **Health & Reminders** Completed breathing sessions can be saved to Apple Health's Mindful Minutes after you grant permission. Local notifications quietly remind you when a session ends, so you can switch attention without watching the screen. Pomo Focus keeps your attention soft and steady. Open it whenever you want a kinder pace for work, study, or rest. If you'd like to access more features, you can choose to upgrade to a premium account.
