You downloaded a focus app to stop getting distracted by your phone. So why does every focus app make you pick up your phone to start a timer? WatchPomo does it differently. Your Apple Watch is the command center. Tap to start a focus session. Get a gentle haptic nudge when it’s time for a break. See your timer ticking down right on your watch face. Your phone stays in your bag, your pocket, or across the room β€” exactly where it should be during deep work. HOW IT WORKS Start a Pomodoro focus session directly from your Apple Watch Work for 25 minutes (or customize your duration) Take a short break when your watch taps you After 4 sessions, enjoy a long break Repeat. Build focus like a muscle. LIVE ON YOUR WATCH FACE Choose from 3 complication styles that update in real time. See your remaining focus time, current session count, or break status β€” all without opening the app. WatchPomo lives where you look, not where you’re trying not to look. MINIMALIST BY DESIGN No task managers. No leaderboards. No social features. No gamification. Just a beautifully simple Pomodoro timer that does one thing and does it well. Focus periods, short breaks, long breaks β€” the classic technique, perfected for your wrist. STATS ON YOUR PHONE Your iPhone companion app logs your sessions and shows your focus history. Review your stats, adjust settings, and see your productivity trends β€” but only when you choose to. The timer stays on your watch.
