A quiet pomodoro timer. Focus for 25 minutes, then take a real break. FocusPocus runs on your iPhone with no account, no tracking, your tasks stay on your device. The technique is older than you think. Francesco Cirillo wrote it down in the late '80s using a tomato-shaped kitchen timer. The math hasn't changed: focus for 25, break for 5, repeat four times, take a longer break. FocusPocus handles the timing so you can do the focusing. What's inside: — Three modes (pomodoro, short break, long break) with sounds you can mute — A tappable task list. Add what you're working on, mark them done as you go. — Pomodoro count per task — estimate how many sessions you'll need and watch the count — Notes per task with checkable sub-items — Eight color palettes plus a custom picker — pick a mood for your focus — Native iOS Live Activity. Your timer lives on the Dynamic Island and lock screen so you never lose track. Pause and skip from the Dynamic Island without unlocking. — "Yesterday" page-flip: tap the date to start a new day. Unfinished tasks carry forward, completed ones drop. — Session history with stats — focused minutes per day, weekly trends, top tasks. What's not inside: — No account — No tracking — No ads — No upsells Made by one person who needed it. If it helps you focus, you've already gotten what it was made for.
