Tomato vs HarkEcho

You don't have a focus problem. You have a "where do I even start" problem. Type the task you've been avoiding. Tomato's AI breaks it into 25-minute steps — then starts the first one. That's the whole app. Built for ADHD brains and anyone who freezes in front of something big. HOW IT WORKS 1. Type what you're avoiding — "finish my thesis", "do my taxes" 2. Tomato splits it into 3-4 steps you can actually begin 3. Tap once. The timer runs, and a Live Activity keeps it on your Lock Screen Your first 3 AI breakdowns are free. No account, no sign-up. FREE, FOREVER • Full Pomodoro timer — focus, short break, long break • Custom durations, intervals and daily goals • Infinite focus mode — long-press the clock to count up with no limit • Tasks with voice dictation and automatic categories • Daily stats, session count and your focus streak • Live Activity, Dynamic Island and Home Screen widgets • A daily reminder at the hour you actually focus best • Dark mode and a true-black OLED theme • Everything stored on your device. No ads. No trackers. No login. TOMATO+ 7-day free trial, then $4.99/month or $29.99/year. Cancel anytime. • Unlimited AI task breakdown — never stare at a blank page again • AI Focus Coach — reads your real focus history and tells you which hours to protect • Weekly, monthly and yearly stats, plus an annual contribution heatmap • Time-of-day analysis — find the hours your brain actually works • Always-On Display, custom alarm sounds, vibration control and headphone mode • Premium typography (Inter, Space Grotesk, Nunito, Poppins) and custom colour themes WHY TOMATO IS DIFFERENT Every other focus timer assumes you already know what to work on. That assumption is exactly where most people get stuck. Tomato decides the first step for you, then starts it. PRIVACY Your focus history stays on your device, and you can back it up locally whenever you like. AI features send only the text you type — a task title, or a short summary of your session history for coaching — to DeepSeek, our AI processor, which operates from China. Nothing is sold, and nothing is used to identify you. No ads. No trackers. No account required. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends.

Most to-do apps are storage. You write the task down, feel organized, and never open the app again. HarkEcho works the other way around. It decides what matters today, then keeps coming back until you've dealt with it. Accountable, not just organized. HOW IT WORKS Dump everything in. Tasks, half-thoughts, the thing you've rewritten on three different lists. Type it in the capture bar, say it, or add it with Siri. The app picks your top 2-3. You don't sort, rank, or drag anything. Every morning HarkEcho weighs what's due, what's urgent, and what you've been putting off, then hands you a short list, with a one-line reason each task made it. Then it follows up. A morning run-through of your day. A midday check-in. And if a task goes quiet, reminders that get harder to ignore, ending in a full-screen alarm that rings until you mark it done, start it, or snooze it. BUILT FOR GETTING STARTED For people whose problem was never remembering the task, but starting it. HarkEcho supplies the outside push a silent list can't: • No decision fatigue: the app chooses, you act • Every reminder has one next step: done, starting now, or snooze • "Starting now": tell HarkEcho you've begun and it gives you 30 minutes of quiet • Too big? Break it down to one first step • Progress you can see: points and badges for finishing, not for hoarding FREE • Unlimited tasks, editing, and priorities • Daily triage: your top 2-3, chosen for you • Quick capture: type a task and press Return • Routines: things you do on the same days, marked done or skipped, with an optional reminder • Morning notification at a time you set, and early reminders before a due time • Home Screen widget and Siri shortcut • Points, badges, and streaks HARKECHO PRO • Voice Dump: say what's on your mind and get up to three tasks back • Morning alarm with a spoken run-through of your day • Escalation alarms: a task you keep ignoring rings until you act • Midday check-ins and stale-task nudges • Your own alarm schedule and escalation timing ABOUT THE ALARMS The alarms happen on your iPhone: a full-screen ringing screen and a system alarm. No phone line, no phone number, no one dialing you. They exist because a notification is too easy to swipe away and an alarm isn't. YOU DECIDE ABOUT AI Voice Dump, the spoken morning script and task ranking use OpenAI. HarkEcho asks before anything is sent, and you can change your answer in Settings. PRIVACY Your tasks are yours.
