About

PomoGarden

PomoGarden is a focus timer that cares about both halves of deep work: the block where you concentrate, and the break where you recover. Focus better. Break better. ONE TAP TO FOCUS Open the app and start. Your last session length is remembered, two classic lengths (15 and 25 minutes) sit beside your own custom number, and a single tap on the Home Screen widget or the iOS 18 Control Center button launches a session instantly. No setup ceremony, ever. A DIAL YOU CAN READ AND PRESS Tap the timer to switch between time left, time elapsed, and the clock time your block finishes. Swipe it to change how much it shows: a single calm dial, or companion dials for what comes next, water you've drunk, and distractions you've logged. An optional ticking pulse beats quietly in your pocket, once a second or once every five minutes โ€” your choice, silent, and off by default. A SESSION THAT CAN RUN ITSELF Turn on auto-start and a session flows hands-free: focus, break, focus. Leave it off and every phase waits for you. The next-phase dial lets you reshape what's coming without leaving the phase you're in. SMART BREAK COACH Breaks are where most timers abandon you. PomoGarden's coach reads the moment โ€” how many blocks you've done, whether it's a long break, whether it's the afternoon dip โ€” and puts the three most useful recoveries in front of you, fully on-device and offline: - Rest Eyes: the 20-20-20 rule, gently guided โ€” included for everyone - Reset: one minute of guided breathing, with haptics that follow your lungs (Pro) - Deep Reset: three minutes, for the long breaks (Pro) - Move: three quick desk exercises for the sitting body (Pro) - Posture: shoulders, spine and screen height (Pro) An optional water nudge appears only on the break screen โ€” never as a notification. PROTECT YOUR FLOW Deep in it when the timer ends? Flow protection keeps counting up and saves the extra minutes as overtime. Take the break when you are ready. A GARDEN THAT GROWS WITH YOU Every completed session grows a plant. Your garden is a quiet record of every focused hour โ€” an achievement, not a game. Small stoic reminders keep you company along the way. UNDERSTAND YOUR FOCUS Insights tells you, in plain sentences, what your numbers mean: how this week compares to last, when your focus lands best, and how often you get pulled away. Log a distraction with one honest tap during any block. Every number is calculated on your device. PLAN YOUR DAY (PRO) Sketch your week into focus blocks; the timer surfaces what is next and starts it with one tap. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything stays on your device. No account, no tracking, no analytics, no third-party services, and it works completely offline. SEVEN DAYS, THEN YOU DECIDE Every Pro feature is unlocked the moment you open the app, for a full week. No card, no sign-up, nothing to cancel. When the week ends the timer, your garden, this week's insights, the widgets and guided eye rest stay free forever. PRO, ONCE The Break Coach, your full focus history, the Day Planner and the Full timer face are PomoGarden Pro: a single one-time purchase with Family Sharing. No subscription. No ads. No account. Nothing to cancel, nothing to remember. Most focus apps bill you every month for the rest of your life; PomoGarden asks once and every future update is included. Everything stays on your device, and the app works with no connection at all. Lock your phone, watch your garden grow, and let the app carry the rhythm. Focus better. Break better. ---------- Privacy Policy: https://tenisify.net/pomogarden/privacy-3/ Terms of Use: https://tenisify.net/pomogarden/terms-3/ Support: https://tenisify.net/pomogarden/support-3/
