Wick vs Pomo Tender

Some timers just count your minutes. Wick turns focus into a ritual you actually want to return to. Light a candle, name one honest intention, and begin. A little candle burns beside you while you work — put the phone face down, and the flame holds the time for you. When the session ends, you've made something real. MAKE FOCUS A RITUAL Choose Pomodoro, Flowtime, or a plain timer, then step into a warm candle room — no angry red numbers, no pressure. Just you and the next stretch of deep work. GUARD THE HOUR Turn on the Shield and Wick keeps distracting apps behind a gentle wall while you focus — a breath of friction, never a cage. There's always an exit for you. ONE HONEST INTENTION A DAY Skip the endless to-do list. Name what matters, give it your full flame, and let the rest wait its turn. ONLY COUNTS THE FIRE THAT WAS REAL Wick logs the focus you truly gave — nothing padded, nothing faked. Watch small flames add up on your almanac, one focused day at a time, and keep a streak worth keeping. YOURS ALONE No account. No sign-up. No tracking. Everything runs on your device. Wick is free to use. Wick Pro is a one-time purchase — no subscription — that unlocks deep-guard mode, candle skins, ambient sounds, and more themes.

Pomo Tender is a focus timer built to last, not to make you feel guilty. It follows the Pomodoro method — work sessions broken up by rests — without turning your attention into a score to beat. No streak to protect, no accusing reminder: your statistics tell you what happened, kindly. YOUR DATA NEVER LEAVES YOUR DEVICE Pomo Tender has no server and makes no network calls. No account to create, no tracker, no advertising. Your tasks, statistics and settings are encrypted locally (AES-GCM 256-bit) with a key tied to your device, and excluded from iCloud backup. Nothing reaches us, because there is no one at the other end. THE TIMER • Freely adjustable work and rest durations • Automatic cycle sequencing • Full-screen view with estimated finish time • Faithful recovery after the app is closed: elapsed cycles are recovered YOUR TASKS • Activity types, due dates, notes • Search by title, activity or date • Pomodoro counter per task • Start a session straight from a task YOUR STATISTICS • Focus time, completed cycles, consistency • Day, week, month and year views • Readable charts, never preachy ONE TIP A DAY A focus tip when you open the app, one per day, in a pop-up you dismiss with a tap. It follows what you actually work on: after a study, sport or creative session, every other tip comes from that same category. Can be turned off in settings. WHEREVER YOU ARE • Apple Watch: ring, controls and wrist haptics • Quick start widget on the home screen • Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • Interface adapted for iPad FIVE LANGUAGES English, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese.
