Okay, real talk: where does the time go? You sit down for "five minutes," look up, and somehow it's dark out. You know you've got stuff to do — you just can't feel how much time is left, or which thing to start first. When your brain doesn't do time, a to-do list won't save you. It's just more stuff to lose track of. Ringround shows your whole day as a circle you can actually see. Your day becomes a 24-hour dial. NOW sits at the top, the day turns underneath, and one glance tells you where you are and how long until the next thing. Time stops being invisible. What it does: • See your day at a glance — colorful blocks on a ring, not a wall of text. • Can't pick what to do? Hit Ring Round — give the dial a spin and let it choose for you. Decision made, no spiral. • Put your day on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island — a calm cylinder fills with color so you can check the time without falling into your phone. • Gentle nudges before things start. Optional. Never shouty. • Your colors, your categories, your names for things. Make it yours. Made for brains that lose time. ADHD, autistic, AuDHD, time-blind, or just perpetually "five minutes behind" — this one's for you. Ringround doesn't try to fix you or optimize you. You're not a productivity project. It just makes time something you can see, so the day stops slipping out from under you. No accounts. No ads. No subscriptions or upsells nagging you forever. Nothing ever leaves your phone. Your day's right there. It's a circle. Go take a look.

About

Tomato

Features
Read full description

Tomato is a Pomodoro timer that helps you move smoothly between focus and rest. Follow a simple cycle of focus sessions, short breaks, and long breaks as you work through your day one session at a time. You can start with the classic Pomodoro rhythm, or adjust each session length from 1 to 120 minutes to match the way you work. Add a note to your current session, and Tomato will save it with your history so you can easily look back on what you focused on. Recent notes are available again when you need to start a recurring task quickly. Tomato keeps the experience simple with dedicated Timer, History, and Settings tabs. The app’s accent color changes with your current session type, and Live Activity support lets you check your progress from the Lock Screen when enabled. If you want a calmer way to separate focus time from break time, Tomato helps you build a rhythm you can return to every day.
