Pomo is a calm, design-led Pomodoro timer for deep, focused work — and the study sessions in between. No trees, no pets, no gimmicks. Just a beautiful instrument that helps you start, stay in flow, and see the rhythm of your focus. Everything stays on your device. No account, no cloud, no ads — ever. — A TIMER YOU'LL WANT TO LOOK AT — Choose from a gallery of meticulously crafted focus faces, from a minimalist minute grid to a flowing tide, in warm paper-light and calm dark themes. — BUILT FOR WORK & STUDY — Run classic Pomodoro cycles or set your own focus and break lengths. Long breaks, auto-start and simple labels shape each session around deep work, study, revision or any task. — STAY IN FLOW — Gently block distracting apps for the length of a session, silence notifications, and get a quiet nudge if you wander. Turn on strict mode when you really need to commit. — SEE YOUR RHYTHM — An editorial stats ledger turns sessions into insight: a focus heatmap, per-label breakdowns and all-time totals. Understand your concentration without turning it into a game. — ALWAYS A GLANCE AWAY — A live countdown on your lock screen and a companion smartwatch app keep the timer close. Optionally sync finished sessions to your calendar. — POMO PRO — The core timer is free, forever. Pomo Pro unlocks every focus face, the full stats ledger, app blocking and calendar sync, with a free trial and monthly or yearly billing. No ads, no account, no tracking. Focus, beautifully. Private by design.
