Tomato is a Pomodoro timer that helps you move smoothly between focus and rest. Follow a simple cycle of focus sessions, short breaks, and long breaks as you work through your day one session at a time. You can start with the classic Pomodoro rhythm, or adjust each session length from 1 to 120 minutes to match the way you work. Add a note to your current session, and Tomato will save it with your history so you can easily look back on what you focused on. Recent notes are available again when you need to start a recurring task quickly. Tomato keeps the experience simple with dedicated Timer, History, and Settings tabs. The app’s accent color changes with your current session type, and Live Activity support lets you check your progress from the Lock Screen when enabled. If you want a calmer way to separate focus time from break time, Tomato helps you build a rhythm you can return to every day.
