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.

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.

About to open a short-video or social app? Pause first. Returning counts as a real win. NoScroll is a screen time control app for people who already set limits but still tap Ignore when willpower is low. It adds friction before the app opens, then turns avoided opens and focus time into progress you can actually feel, not another anxious screen-time leaderboard. System limits usually show up after you are already scrolling. NoScroll moves the reminder to the moment you open the app: pause first, then return or continue with intention. It is a lighter app blocker for autopilot opens, doomscrolling, late-night social feeds, and the habits that pull you out of work or study. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps that pull you in: short video, shorts, social feeds, Reels-style apps, or any app you open on autopilot 2. Opening those apps shows a pause screen first. Return or continue, your choice in the moment 3. Return counts as an avoided open; Focus adds time you actually settled in. Home keeps those wins visible CORE: INTENTIONAL OPEN Pause before you open. Return is a win; continue brings another reminder later, so "just a bit more" is no longer effortless. WHEN YOU NEED MORE • Focus Mode: lock and block distraction while you work or study, and keep the focus time you earned • Sleep Schedule: auto-limit at bedtime and release in the morning, including overnight schedules • Digital Detox: whitelist-only mode for days when you want to unplug COUNT WINS, NOT HOURS NoScroll does not lead with shame about how long you scrolled. It helps you see how many impulse opens you stopped, how long you stayed focused, and when a mindful pause changed the next minute. STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE Intent events and settings stay on your phone by default. Screen Time selections are managed by the system; we do not get an uploadable feed of what you watched.
