A calm Pomodoro timer: focus labels, streaks, readable statistics and reminders that fit your week. No sign-up; your focus history stays on your phone. NO ACCOUNT. YOUR RECORDS STAY ON YOUR PHONE. Your focus history, labels, reminders and settings are saved on your phone. There is no account to create, and your focus records never reach us. A CALM POMODORO TIMER • Set your own focus and break lengths • Pause, pick up where you left off, finish the cycle • See how far you still are from today's goal • Follow the countdown on the Lock Screen with a Live Activity • See the timer in the Dynamic Island on supported iPhones • Check today's progress in the home-screen widget FOCUS LABELS, AND STATISTICS THAT SAY SOMETHING Give a session the label Work, Study, Read, Write, Code, Design or Deep Work — or make your own. Pomi turns finished sessions into clear statistics: • Your current streak and your longest • This week's sessions and focus time • Which hour of the day you focus best • How much time each label takes REMINDERS THAT FIT YOUR WEEK Create a reminder for any time and choose exactly which weekdays it repeats. You write the title and the message. The free tier allows two; Pomi Pro allows more. YOUR LOOK, YOUR LANGUAGE Choose the light, dark or system appearance. Pomi speaks 12 languages: English, Turkish, Dutch, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese. ADS THAT RESPECT YOUR PRIVACY The free version shows a banner and, now and then, a full-screen ad. The ads are never personalised, and Pomi does not follow you across other apps. Everything advertising and purchases need in the way of data is set out in the Privacy Policy. POMI PRO: ONE PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION Pomi Pro is an optional one-time in-app purchase: • No ads, ever • Any color, even on your lock screen • Monthly insights & trends • More reminders The timer itself works in full without Pro. The store shows the price before you buy. Studying or working, Pomi keeps what matters from the Pomodoro method: start, stay, and let every session add up.

PomoClass

Most timers count down. This one keeps score. PomoClass ties every pomodoro to something you are actually working on — a chapter, a client project, a language you are learning. Finish a session and it lands on that task. Come back tomorrow and the streak carries on. START IN UNDER A MINUTE Open the app, pick a task, press start. No account needed: your tasks and stats stay on your phone. Sign in later to back them up and use them in the PomoClass web app. THE POMODORO METHOD, WITHOUT THE RIGIDITY Twenty-five minutes of focus, a short break, a longer one every few rounds — and every length is adjustable. If you are mid-sentence when the bell rings, the session keeps counting extra focus time instead of cutting you off. The timer stays on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and a Home Screen widget shows your day at a glance. TASKS, GOALS AND A PLAN FOR THE DAY Keep your tasks in a list or on a board, sort them into groups and set a daily pomodoro goal. The goal calendar shows which days you hit it and which ones slipped. A big task feels overwhelming? Let the AI break it into small, doable steps. SEE WHERE YOUR HOURS WENT Daily focus charts, time per task and per group, and your personal records. Insights point out your best hours, your goal hit rate and the group that is quietly falling behind. STREAKS THAT MEAN SOMETHING A daily streak for the habit, and one for each task. Miss a day and you feel it. That is rather the point. A SECOND OPINION ON YOUR NUMBERS Ask the AI Coach for a short read on your recent focus and get plain feedback on what worked and what slipped — no dashboards to interpret. Your first review is free. STUDY WITH FRIENDS Add friends, see who focused most today or this week, and join live rooms to start and finish every pomodoro together. QUIET BY DESIGN No ads. No banners mid-session. Session alerts, goal reminders and task reminders are each yours to turn on or off. PomoClass speaks English, Spanish, Portuguese and Turkish, follows your light or dark theme, and syncs with the PomoClass web app — a session you start on your laptop is already here when you pick up your phone. POMOCLASS PRO The timer, tasks, goals, streaks, friends and joining live rooms are free. Pro is an optional auto-renewable subscription, monthly or yearly, that adds: • Streak protection: two missed days a month won't break your streak • A goal calendar you can plan a year ahead, and an hour-by-hour day timeline • Notes, steps and pomodoro estimates on tasks, and unlimited repeating tasks • Four AI Coach reviews a week and AI task breakdowns twenty times a day • All-time stats, insights and a monthly focus summary • Focus sounds while a pomodoro runs: rain, fireplace or brown noise • Your own live room for up to 20 people • Optional exam tools for students: countdown, an AI weekly plan and mock exam tracking Prices are shown in the app. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends; manage or cancel yours in your App Store account settings.
