FocusTasks combines a Pomodoro timer and a task manager into one app for building a daily focus habit. No account required. Works fully offline, with no ads and no tracking. Start a session in one tap from the home screen widget or your Apple Watch, and watch your streak grow. β–  Main Features β€’ Pomodoro timer: work and break sessions switch automatically β€” durations are fully customizable β€’ Task management: organize your day with "Today's Focus" and a backlog β€’ Stats & streaks: daily, weekly and monthly focus time with a streak counter β€’ Share your wins: post "6 pomodoros done today!" in one tap β€’ Home screen widget: your next task and a start button, right on the home screen β€’ Apple Watch: start, pause and complete tasks from your wrist β€’ Notifications: get notified when a session ends, even in the background β€’ Dark mode / available in 9 languages β–  Privacy First β€’ No account. All data stays on your device β€’ No ads, no analytics, nothing leaves your phone β–  Why "End by Time"? In FocusTasks, sessions always end when the timer runs out β€” even if the task isn't finished. This design uses the Zeigarnik effect: a psychological finding that people remember unfinished tasks better and are more motivated to resume them. By stopping mid-task when the timer ends, your work naturally stays "in progress", making it easier to pick up again later. It lowers the mental barrier to restarting and helps you build a sustainable study and work habit. β–  Great For β€’ Building a study habit for school, exams or certifications β€’ Staying on track while working from home β€’ Anyone who never sticks with task management apps β€’ People looking for a simple, privacy-friendly focus timer β–  Terms of Use https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
