Lepomo is a cozy Pomodoro timer for iPhone and Mac. Open it, press Start, and get to work. No account, no setup, no noise. And while you focus, a little train carries Lepomo across the countryside: every minute is a kilometre, and nothing you earn is ever lost. FOCUS, GENTLY • One clear timer: focus, short break, long break. • Pause and resume without losing your place. Paused time never counts as focus. • A soft sound and a notification when it's time to rest, with Start Break right on the banner. • A living scene instead of a bare countdown: the sky follows your time of day, it rains now and then, and the ambient sound is made for concentration. A JOURNEY THAT ONLY GOES FORWARD • Each minute of focus moves the train. Stations arrive, each with a postcard and a souvenir. • Small keepsakes turn up along the way. Put them on display, furnish the cabin with your souvenirs. • No streaks, no guilt, nothing decays. Take a week off and the train simply waits for you. ALWAYS WITHIN REACH • iPhone: Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, Home and Lock Screen widgets. • Mac: lives in the menu bar, with desktop widgets; pauses your focus when the Mac goes to sleep. • Works with Shortcuts: Start Focus, Start Break, Pause, Resume. QUIET INSIGHTS • See your focus by Day, Week, Month and Year: real calendar periods, clean charts. • Rest days never drag your average down. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no analytics, no tracking. • Your history and preferences stay on your devices and, if you use iCloud, in your own private iCloud, so your iPhone and Mac show the same journey. We cannot see any of it. LEPOMO PLUS (optional) • Decorations and new looks for the cabin. • Start on your Mac, pause on your iPhone: the running timer follows you. • Your own tasks, and the time you gave each one. • The stopwatch, focus sessions up to 180 minutes and longer breaks. • View your full history by Day, Week, Month and Year. • Extra themes, alert sounds and app icons. • Future seasons of the journey. Subscribe monthly or yearly (7-day free trial on yearly), or buy once with Lifetime. One purchase covers iPhone and Mac. The timer and the whole first season of the journey are free, always.
