Make focused work easier to start, easier to protect, and easier to see. Lockodoro is a calm Pomodoro timer for studying, deep work, and everyday tasks, with focus coins that make your progress visible. FOCUS ON ONE THING Choose a focus tag, set your timer, and give one task your attention. Use Lockodoro as a study timer for exam preparation, a work timer for writing and coding, or a simple way to bring the Pomodoro technique into your day. Set focus sessions from 5 to 180 minutes and alternate focused work with short and long breaks. Start small, find your rhythm, and make time for rest. TURN FOCUS INTO LOCKCOINS Every completed focus session earns a bronze, silver, or gold Lockcoin based on how long you focused. Complete a full Pomodoro cycle to earn an extra gold coin. Watch your effort add up in a pile you can see and move. Tilt your iPhone to watch the coins tumble with realistic physics and haptic feedback. Your on-screen pile starts fresh with your first completed focus session each week. KEEP YOUR TIMER CLOSE Follow your session on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island with Live Activities on supported devices. Session-end notifications help you put your phone down without losing track of time.

Meet Pomi, a round little tomato who lives on a floating island and loves helping you focus. Pomi is a Pomodoro timer that turns every focus session into something cute to collect. Start a session and Pomi keeps an egg warm. Finish it, and the egg hatches into a Pomling — one of more than 60 collectible characters, from Sprout and DJ Ketchup to the legendary King Pomodoro. FOCUS, THE COZY WAY • Classic Pomodoro (25/5 with a long break every 4 sessions), Deep Work (50/10) or your own custom timer • Live Activity and Dynamic Island: watch your egg incubate and the time tick down from the Lock Screen • Accurate even in the background, with the screen locked or after a restart • Gentle notifications when focus or a break ends, with quick actions • Tag your sessions: Study, Work, Reading, Creative, Personal — or create your own ZERO GUILT • Strict Mode is optional. Leave the app for more than 10 seconds and your egg simply goes back to the nest. Nothing dies, nothing is lost, no shaming — just try again when you're ready. • Breaks become tiny rituals with Pomi: stretch, sip water, 4-7-8 breathing, or rest your eyes with the 20-20-20 rule. COLLECT AND GROW • Longer sessions and daily streaks make rarer eggs: Common, Rare, Epic and Legendary • A collection album with silhouettes of the Pomlings still waiting to be found • Monthly events with limited-time Pomlings • Your island grows with every hour of focus: flowers, trees, a cottage, string lights, a windmill and more SEE YOUR PROGRESS • Daily goal and streak, with a streak freezer for busy days (Pro) • Stats for today, the week, month and year, by tag, plus your golden hour • A shareable daily recap in Story format ALWAYS AT HAND • Widgets for the Home Screen, Lock Screen and StandBy • Siri and Shortcuts: "Start focus in Pomi" • Focus filter: turn on Strict Mode and a tag automatically with your iOS Focus MADE WITH CARE • No ads. No third-party tracking. Everything stays on your device. • Ambient brown, pink and white noise to get in the zone (Pro) • Light and dark mode, Dynamic Type and VoiceOver support POMI PRO Pro unlocks every Pomling and monthly event, Deep Work and custom timers, the full island, your whole history, ambient sounds, the streak freezer, recaps without watermark, every widget, sky themes and alternate app icons.
