One page at a time. Tomato Daily is a Pomodoro timer for study and rest. A little art, a little ambient sound, and time for what matters to you. STAY IN YOUR FLOW Still reading when the timer ends? Keep going after the reminder. It won't switch to a break automatically. Extra time counts too. A PAUSE FEELS GOOD Put the book down. Take a breath. Choose a short or long break, or start another when you need it. Breaks keep counting and recording past the set time too. EVERY BIT COUNTS A few pages. A little practice. One task done. Organize sessions with tags and look back by day, week, month or year. See where your time went, and how it adds up. FORGOT TO SET THE TIMER? Add a missed session, edit the time, or leave a note about what you read or finished. FIND YOUR QUIET Pick an illustrated scene and an ambient sound. Or choose a minimal theme and turn the sound off. Make room for your own kind of quiet. A GLANCE, THEN BACK TO YOUR BOOK Check the timer on your Lock Screen or in the Dynamic Island on supported models. Home Screen widgets show today's focus. Enable notifications for reminders while your screen is locked or you're in another app. NEW PHONE, SAME PROGRESS With iCloud enabled and the same Apple Account, your focus and break records sync to your next iPhone. Unlock charts and more ambient sounds with a one-time purchase. No subscription.
