Pomo Tender

Pomo Tender is a focus timer built to last, not to make you feel guilty. It follows the Pomodoro method — work sessions broken up by rests — without turning your attention into a score to beat. No streak to protect, no accusing reminder: your statistics tell you what happened, kindly. YOUR DATA NEVER LEAVES YOUR DEVICE Pomo Tender has no server and makes no network calls. No account to create, no tracker, no advertising. Your tasks, statistics and settings are encrypted locally (AES-GCM 256-bit) with a key tied to your device, and excluded from iCloud backup. Nothing reaches us, because there is no one at the other end. THE TIMER • Freely adjustable work and rest durations • Automatic cycle sequencing • Full-screen view with estimated finish time • Faithful recovery after the app is closed: elapsed cycles are recovered YOUR TASKS • Activity types, due dates, notes • Search by title, activity or date • Pomodoro counter per task • Start a session straight from a task YOUR STATISTICS • Focus time, completed cycles, consistency • Day, week, month and year views • Readable charts, never preachy ONE TIP A DAY A focus tip when you open the app, one per day, in a pop-up you dismiss with a tap. It follows what you actually work on: after a study, sport or creative session, every other tip comes from that same category. Can be turned off in settings. WHEREVER YOU ARE • Apple Watch: ring, controls and wrist haptics • Quick start widget on the home screen • Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • Interface adapted for iPad FIVE LANGUAGES English, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese. YOUR THEME Light or dark, Pomo Tender stays clean and distraction-free — that's the default theme, entirely free. POMO TENDER PRO Some features are gathered in Pomo Tender Pro, available as a one-time purchase or a subscription — both unlock exactly the same thing: • Day Sky and Night Sky themes: animated clouds that drift and part at your touch, stars, a shooting star • Bali theme, its golden jungle and fireflies • Ambient sounds: rain, forest, café, ocean, white noise • Blocking distracting apps and websites during focus • Smart calendar: slot reservation and suggested times • Automatic adaptation to iOS Focus modes • Weekly report • Gentle summary and activity breakdown • Unlimited timer presets • Multi-select for tasks Without Pomo Tender Pro, the timer, tasks, today's statistics, daily tip, light and dark theme, Watch app, widget and data export remain fully usable. COMPATIBILITY Live Activity: iOS 16.1 or later. Quick start widget: iOS 17 or later. This app does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. It is not a substitute for professional medical care. Always consult a doctor for any medical concerns. Questions? hello@pomotender.app
