Pomomento helps you build focus, one session at a time. Most timer apps give you a countdown and call it a day. Pomomento is different. It's built around a simple idea: start small, build momentum, and let your focus grow naturally. MOMENTUM MODE. Pomomento's signature mode starts with a short session and gradually increases your focus duration as you build momentum. Instead of jumping straight into a 45-minute block, you start with 10 minutes, then 15, then 20. Each session builds on the last. It's how real focus works. THREE WAYS TO FOCUS. Choose the method that fits your workflow: - Momentum: Start small and build up incrementally - Classic Pomodoro: Traditional timed sessions with structured breaks - Flowtime: Open-ended focus with gentle reminders FOCUS PROFILES. Create custom profiles for different types of work. Set up "Deep Work" for long coding sessions, "Study" for exam prep, or "Reading" for lighter focus. Each profile saves your preferred mode, duration, and color. Switch between them in a tap. EARN REST AS YOU FOCUS. Pomomento tracks your rest automatically. The longer you focus, the more rest you earn. You never have to set a break timer. Just focus, and your rest balance grows in the background. Take a break whenever you're ready, and Pomomento shows you exactly how much you've banked. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS. See your total focus time, session count, and profile breakdown across days, weeks, months, or years. Find the balance between focus and rest that works for you. BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS. Turn on app blocking during a session to stay in the zone. No willpower required. Distracting apps are locked until your session ends. LIVE ACTIVITIES & LOCK SCREEN. Your timer stays visible on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island while you focus. Glance at your progress without opening the app. DESIGNED TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY. Pomomento is minimal by design. No clutter, no ads, no account required. It works offline, syncs across your devices with iCloud, and respects your privacy. Whether you're studying for exams, doing deep work, or just trying to stay focused, Pomomento gives you the tools without the noise.

Read full description

Trailhead turns distraction-free work into a simulated hike through America's national parks. Choose what you want to finish, set a focus duration, select a trail, and start your focus timer. Completed sessions build toward your trail’s destination, and your place is saved for next time. Your session percentage and time remaining stay visible on the Lock Screen, so checking progress does not mean opening your phone. FOCUS WITH A DESTINATION - Build toward a destination across completed focus sessions - Return to your saved intention, trail, duration, and soundscape - Finish with a recap of your focused time and earned trail progress - See route completion, distance, time, and a moving hiker - Keep progress visible with a Lock Screen Live Activity - Unlock milestones as your total focused miles grow EXPLORE NATIONAL PARK TRAILS - Browse all 63 designated U.S. national parks - Load publicly available trails from the National Park Service - Cache trail catalogs for quicker return visits CREATE YOUR SOUND ENVIRONMENT Choose from forest, rain, white noise, brown noise, pink noise, mountain air, ocean waves, alpine creek, campfire, and night crickets. PROTECT YOUR ATTENTION With your permission, Trailhead uses Apple's Screen Time technology to shield the distracting apps you choose during a focus session. Your choices stay under Apple's privacy-preserving controls. FREE TO EXPLORE, PLUS FOR UNLIMITED HIKES Trailhead is free to download. You can browse every park and trail, preview soundscapes, configure Screen Time, view your journey, and complete your first focus hike at no charge. Starting additional focus hikes requires a separate auto-renewable Trailhead Plus purchase. Trailhead Plus is $34.99/year or $4.99/month in the U.S. and includes Family Sharing. Eligible subscribers can start with a 14-day introductory free trial. Prices may vary by region.
