Domato is a focus timer built around one idea: work in a stretch, then take a real break, and keep what you finish. FOCUS AND BREAKS Set a focus length that suits you, or leave it unlimited and stop whenever you're done. Short and long breaks follow automatically if you want them to, or turn breaks off entirely and just work in stretches. A gentle sound marks the start and end of a session; ambient waves build quietly in the background the longer a session runs, giving a felt sense of how deep into it you are. SEE WHERE THE TIME WENT Every session is kept, even one you stop early, and rolls up into a GitHub-style contribution grid, so a week, a month, or a year of focus is one glance instead of a guess. Filter by task, see your longest streak, your best day, and when during the day you actually focus best. TASKS, NOT JUST A CLOCK File pomodoros under tasks and subtasks so the count means something beyond a number: see exactly what a stretch of focus went toward, on the day and over time. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Five colour palettes for the contribution grid, all shared between the app and the widget, so your home screen matches how you like to look at your own data. Widgets show the running clock, today's count, or the task picker, without opening the app. ON THE MAC TOO A menu bar app that starts, pauses, and stops a session in one click, with a global keyboard shortcut so you never have to reach for the mouse. Everything syncs across iPhone, iPad, and Mac through iCloud: start a session on one device, see it everywhere else. DAILY GOALS Set a target number of pomodoros for the day, and the grid, the ring, and the widget all measure against it. A target, not a quota: nothing is withheld for missing it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your sessions and tasks sync through your own iCloud account. Nothing is sent anywhere else. FREE, NO SUBSCRIPTION Every feature above is unlocked from the start, no trial, no paywall, no subscription. If Domato is useful to you, an optional tip is always appreciated and never expected.
