Pomodoro Timer Study Focus vs Refrain

A real Pomodoro timer: name the task, start the clock, and let focus blocks and breaks cycle themselves until the work is actually done. Most countdown apps stop at zero. This one remembers what you were working on. Every finished block is saved with its task, project and category, so by Friday you can see exactly where your hours went — and the streak, XP bar and daily goal give you a reason to sit down again tomorrow. WHAT YOU GET - Focus and break phases that advance on their own, with a long break after every set, so you never tap between rounds - Your own routines: focus length, short break, long break, and how many cycles come before the long one - Every session logged with task, project, category and notes, turning your history into a work journal you can actually read - A 7-day bar chart with totals, current streak and longest streak — proof the habit is sticking - Daily and weekly minute goals with live progress right on the timer screen - Achievement badges, XP, and a daily planner where you estimate how many pomodoros each task will need PERFECT FOR - Students grinding through revision, essays and exam prep - Developers, writers and designers who need uninterrupted deep-work blocks - Anyone who works better against a visible countdown than an endless to-do list - Remote workers separating real focus hours from busywork WHY NOT JUST USE THE STOPWATCH ON YOUR PHONE? A stopwatch tells you that time passed. It won't restart you after a break, won't remember the task you were on, and won't show you that you put in fourteen hours of deep work this week. That record is the entire point — it turns "I was busy" into "here is what I finished." You also get a chime and a notification when a block ends, plus a keep-screen-on option so the countdown stays visible while you work. PRIVACY No account, no sign-up, no ads, no analytics, no internet connection needed. Your sessions, routines, tasks and notes stay in a local database on your iPhone and are never uploaded anywhere. Export the whole history to a JSON file whenever you want it. FULL ACCESS Unlocks unlimited custom routines, unlimited session history (the free version keeps the last 7 days), session notes, the insights dashboard and charts, projects, categories and tags, achievement badges, the daily planner, and JSON backup and restore. Available as a weekly subscription, a yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Start one 25-minute block today and find out what a single uninterrupted hour actually looks like.
