Pomo Focus

Read full description

【Pomo Focus】 is a calm focus timer that turns every work cycle into a gentle rhythm β€” quiet reminders, immersive soundscapes, and clear insights help you stay present without pressure. **Rhythmic Focus Modes** Choose Pomodoro, Meeting, or Breathing to fit the moment. Each mode runs on a wall-clock timer that stays accurate even after the app moves to the background, with optional Progressive Pomodoro for slowly stretching your sessions. **Immersive Soundscapes** Blend rain, birdsong, white noise, and office chatter with Soft, Heavy, or Storm variants. Save your favorite mix and bring it back instantly the next day. **Flow Insights** Review your daily flow score, current streak, four-week habit calendar, and optimal focus window. Every chart updates from your real local sessions, never from prefilled samples. **Journey & Milestones** Earn XP for every completed session, climb through level titles such as Flow Walker and Zen Master, and collect milestones that reflect your real practice β€” seven-day streaks, deep work hours, breathing rituals, and more. **Health & Reminders** Completed breathing sessions can be saved to Apple Health's Mindful Minutes after you grant permission. Local notifications quietly remind you when a session ends, so you can switch attention without watching the screen. Pomo Focus keeps your attention soft and steady. Open it whenever you want a kinder pace for work, study, or rest. If you'd like to access more features, you can choose to upgrade to a premium account.
