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.

Context is the task manager built around the different versions of you โ Work, Personal, Study, Health โ so each part of your life gets its own focused space. Switch the context and the whole app follows: its own color, its own tasks, its own priorities. Nothing else bleeds in. CAPTURE IN SECONDS Tap once and type naturally: "call mom tomorrow at 5". Context understands dates, times and priorities and files the task where it belongs. The fastest brain dump you've ever done โ get it out of your head and back to your day. FOCUS WHEN IT MATTERS Pick a task and enter Focus โ one giant task, a built-in Pomodoro timer (15/25/45 minutes), and nothing else on screen. Finish, snooze it to the back of the queue, and let the next task flow in. A DAY YOU CAN ACTUALLY FINISH P0/P1/P2 priority buckets keep the loud things loud and the quiet things quiet. The week strip shows what's planned without burying today. Done tasks stay visible โ struck through, satisfying, one tap to undo. Clear your day and enjoy the confetti. PRIVATE SPACES Lock any context behind Face ID. Your "Startup idea" list stays yours. EVERYWHERE YOU WORK Sign in with Apple and your tasks sync in realtime between iPhone and Mac (Context for macOS, with menu-bar capture from any app). Or skip the account entirely โ offline mode keeps everything on your device. MAKE IT YOURS Accent colors per context, renamable priority labels, custom avatars, a beautiful dark mode by default, and sounds and haptics that make completing things feel as good as it should.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Context at none against Tomodoro's 1. Context also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (4 vs 2). On price there is nothing between them.
