Turn your to-do list into done. PomPomodoro is a beautifully simple focus timer built around the Pomodoro Technique โ one of the most effective, well-loved time management methods for getting real work done. THE POMODORO METHOD, DONE RIGHT Work in focused sprints, then take a real break. That's it. By breaking your day into short, manageable Focus and Rest phases, PomPomodoro replaces the pressure of "getting everything done" with a simple question: can I focus for just one more sprint? For many people, that shift โ from an overwhelming task list to one small timer โ is the difference between staring at a screen and actually starting. BUILT WITH ADHD AND NEURODIVERGENT MINDS IN MIND Traditional time management tools often assume a kind of sustained focus that doesn't come naturally to everyone. PomPomodoro is different. Its short, structured bursts and built-in breaks give your brain the clear starts, clear stops, and permission to rest that many people with ADHD and other attention differences say they need. It's not a cure or a substitute for professional support โ but for many neurodivergent users, a visible, ticking timer genuinely makes starting easier and staying on track more automatic. DESIGNED TO GET OUT OF YOUR WAY โข Simple gestures โ tap to start or pause, swipe to skip or reset, no fiddly menus โข Fully customizable Focus and Rest durations โข Clean, distraction-free themes to match your mood โข Live Activities โ watch your timer count down from your Lock Screen or Dynamic Island โข Smart notifications when each phase ends, with one-tap actions to start the next โข A quick, skippable tutorial so you're up and running in seconds GO PRO FOR EVEN DEEPER FOCUS โข Autoplay โ automatically move from Focus to Rest and back, no taps required โข App Blocking โ block distracting apps for the length of your Focus session, powered by Screen Time โข Every premium theme, unlocked Whether you're a student cramming for exams, a developer in deep work, or someone who's tried every productivity app and given up โ PomPomodoro asks for just 25 minutes.
