Tomato Hour is a focus timer that spans iPhone, Apple Watch, and Mac. Start a pomodoro on your watch, and your iPhone's Dynamic Island and Mac's menu bar follow along. REAL-TIME SYNC ACROSS THREE DEVICES Built on Apple's private CloudKit sync — act on one device, all three follow instantly. No need to pull out your phone: a glance at your wrist or menu bar keeps your focus in sight. DYNAMIC ISLAND & LOCK SCREEN Time remaining shows live in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen, so you always know where you are without opening the app. WATCH FACE COMPLICATIONS Put the countdown right on your watch face. Turn the Digital Crown to scroll through today's focus stats. HONEST FOCUS RECORDS Stretch a pomodoro to 30 minutes and it logs 30 minutes — the time that actually happened, not the time you planned. Grouped by day, with tag breakdowns. TO-DOS BECOME POMODOROS Tap a to-do to start timing. Change what you're working on mid-session without breaking your rhythm. STRICT FOCUS MODE No pause button by default. You get an alert when a pomodoro or break ends — when to move on is up to you. PRIVACY FIRST No account, no servers of ours. Every record lives on your own devices and in your private iCloud database. We cannot see what you're focusing on.
