Tomodoro vs Nudge

Focus on one thing at a time. PomoTimer splits your day into short focused sessions with real breaks in between. Start the timer, do one thing until it rings, then step away. That is the whole method, and it works. WHAT YOU GET - Classic 25 / 5 / 15 minute intervals, or set your own from 1 to 120 minutes - A long break automatically after every fourth session - Live Activity and Lock Screen countdown, so you can check the time without opening the app - Notifications and haptic feedback when a session ends - Light and dark themes that follow your system setting - A calm animated timer you can switch on or off - Works offline. No account, no sign-up MADE FOR Studying and exam revision, deep work, writing, coding, practising an instrument, chores, and time boxing for ADHD. Anything that goes better against a clock. REMOVE ADS ONCE PomoTimer is free with a small banner. A single in-app purchase removes every ad for good. No subscription, no trial. IN YOUR LANGUAGE Translated into more than 30 languages, including notifications and the Lock Screen timer.

Focus is hard when life keeps interrupting. Kids, coworkers, phone calls, that thing you just remembered — it all adds up. Most timer apps punish you for being human. Nudge doesn't. **KEY FEATURES** - Gentle timer that pauses without punishment — pause whenever life interrupts, resume when you're ready. No dead trees, no failed sessions, no guilt. - Background execution that actually works — lock your phone, switch apps, put it in your pocket. Your timer keeps running and alerts you when it's time. - Silent vibration mode (Library Safe) — a custom triple-pulse vibration pattern that works even on mute. Focus in libraries, open offices, and shared spaces without disturbing a soul. - Flexible presets — Pomodoro, countdown, or open-ended count-up mode. Build timers that match how you actually work, not how a textbook says you should. - Session history with honest stats — see your real focus time, pause count, and total duration. No inflated numbers, no gamified streaks to stress about. - Smart defaults & day context — time-of-day greetings, remembered last preset, auto-start breaks. Nudge learns how you work and gets out of the way. **WHY NUDGE?** We built Nudge because every focus timer we tried made us feel worse. Paused? Failed session. Locked your phone? Timer stopped. Need silence? Too bad, here's an alarm. Nudge is different: - No shame for pausing. Life happens. Your timer understands. - ADHD-friendly. Flexible structures instead of rigid 25/5 boxes. Time awareness without time pressure. - Warm, not aggressive. Amber glow instead of red alerts. Encouraging copy instead of streaks and punishments. - One-time purchase. No subscriptions draining your account every month. **WHAT'S INCLUDED FREE** - Classic Pomodoro timer (25/5) - Up to 3 custom presets - Full session history - Silent vibration alerts - Background timer execution - All core features, no ads, no account required **NUDGE PRO — $6.99 (one-time)** - Unlimited custom presets - Per-timer analytics and breakdowns - Time awareness mode (periodic gentle nudges for time-blindness) - Shortcuts integration - CSV data export - Priority support All your data stays on your device.
