Read full descriptionHide full description
Rigid 25-minute timers break your flow. Tobydoro lets you work until concentration ends β then gives you the break science says you need. Flowmodoro is a variable-interval method: no forced timers, proportional rest, longer sessions when you are locked in. Built for knowledge workers who want depth, not buzzers. LIVE ACTIVITY & DYNAMIC ISLAND Track your session from Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, and StandBy. Stop directly from the Live Activity. FLOW SCORE & ANALYTICS Your Flow Score across five dimensions is free. Pro unlocks 30+ analytics and the Month, Year, and All Time periods (Today and Week are free). Map your Focus Fingerprint on six axes: Consistency, Endurance, Recovery, Depth, Reflection, Wellbeing. Discover your peak focus hours with chronotype detection. See work patterns, distraction timing, mood trends, and cross-variable correlations. PRIVACY BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No analytics SDKs. No tracking. Your sessions, tasks and journal stay on your device β and in your own iCloud if you turn on sync. Photos and audio stay on the device where you add them, and voice transcription runs on the device itself. Purchases are processed by Apple and verified by RevenueCat. FREE FOREVER The full Flowmodoro timer, the five built-in routines, tasks, reflection, breaks, journal, daily summary, and most widgets are completely free. No ads. FLOW TIMER No fixed intervals. Work as long as concentration lasts. Tobydoro calculates an evidence-based break proportional to your session. Three break formulas: Simple, Balanced, Custom. FOCUS ROUTINES Flowmodoro adapts the break to how long you focused; Classic, Deep Work, Quick Sprint, and Long Focus keep a fixed rhythm. Breathe first if you like, with the technique you prefer. Create your own routines with Pro. REFLECTION & JOURNAL After a session of 10 minutes or more, rate your mood and write a reflection; sessions of 2 to 10 minutes get a quick note. Daily journal with session-by-session timelines. Weekly reviews surface your patterns. SMART BREAKS While you focus, gentle reminders tell you to look away from the screen, stand up and move, and drink water. Routines add a long break after a set number of blocks. TASKS & PROJECTS Organize with tasks, projects, tags, priorities, and four cognitive modes: Focus, Learning, Execution, Collaborative. Estimate time, track progress, add comments. WELLBEING OBSERVATIONS Tobydoro notices when your sessions run long and suggests a pause. Fatigue nudges, sedentarism observations, and quiet hours keep habits sustainable. SEVEN HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Daily Focus (time and sessions), Daily Motivation, Focus Streak, Quick Start, Today's Stats, Summary, and Session Control. STREAKS WITH GRACE DAYS One rest day per week does not break your streak β because rest is part of the process. DATA EXPORT & IMPORT (Pro) Export everything as JSON or CSV. Import backups with Skip, Replace, or Keep Both strategies. Your data, your rules. TOBYDORO PRO Advanced analytics across all periods, chronotype detection, Flow Score history, Focus Fingerprint, data export and import, extended journal history, and weekly reviews. New subscribers get a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan; the subscription then renews automatically unless cancelled. Your first flow session starts today. --- Tobydoro is a productivity tool that tracks work patterns and suggests breaks.
