Read full description

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.

A flower grows while you focus. Leave the app, and she wilts. SeedFocus is a Pomodoro timer for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. Start a session, put the phone down, and a seed grows into a bloom. Finished sessions are planted in your garden. Abandoned ones leave a wilt. Over the weeks, the garden shows how your days actually went. SEEDFOCUS AT A GLANCE • Pomodoro sessions of 25 minutes by default, adjustable from 5 to 120. • Short rests of 1 to 30 minutes, long rests of 5 to 60, and 2 to 8 sessions per cycle. • A count-up timer for open-ended work. • Blocks the apps you choose, such as Instagram, TikTok or YouTube, with Apple's Screen Time while you focus. • Works offline. No account, no sign-up, no ads. • A full Apple Watch app with complications. • The countdown on your lock screen and in the Dynamic Island. HOW FIRM IS YOUR GARDEN? • Greenhouse is strict: leave the app and your flower wilts. • Lattice is the app blocker: the apps you pick are put away until she blooms. Nothing wilts. • Open air is gentle: no blocking, no wilting, just an honest record of your focus. You choose the mode for each session. THE TIMER • Start from the app, a Home Screen widget or a Control Center button. • Keeps the screen on during a session, if you want it to. • Tags for Focus, Study, Work, Sport, Practice and Muse, so your hours have names. • Ambient sound while you work: Meadow rain, with Campfire, Breeze and Birdsong in Pro. APPLE WATCH Plant a seed, set the minutes with the Digital Crown, pause, change the tag or skip a rest without picking up your phone. Complications keep the session on your watch face. YOUR GARDEN • Poppy grows from your first session. Daisy and Bluebell are bought with the dew your sessions earn, and Sunflower comes with Pro. • Badges for showing up: first blooms, long stems, mornings at dawn. • Share a bouquet of your week, or a pressed-flower card of a good day. JOURNAL AND STATS Every session is kept as a pressed flower with its note. Your bloom rate shows how often you finish. Your golden hour shows when you focus best. People use SeedFocus as a study timer for exam revision, a focus app that keeps social media away, a deep-work timer for remote work, or short ADHD-friendly focus sprints. Same 25 minutes, different reason. PRIVACY There is no account and nothing to sign up for. Your sessions are stored on your device and the timer works without a connection. With Pro, sessions sync through your own iCloud between iPhone and iPad. WHAT'S INCLUDED The timer, all three modes including app blocking, the Apple Watch app, widgets, the Live Activity, the garden, badges and today's journal all come with the download. SeedFocus Pro adds: • The full calendar, with the planner and plan reminders. • Every past day of your journal. • Stats charts: focus by tag, focus trend and a heat map of your best hours. • Every sound, custom tags, the Sunflower and alternate app icons. • iCloud sync between iPhone and iPad. SeedFocus Pro is available as an auto-renewing subscription or a one-time purchase. Plant your first seed. 25 minutes, one flower. See if she blooms.
