Pomodoro — focus timer mid-session

Overview

What is Pomodoro

Most focus timers today come loaded with features — enough to work against the very thing they're meant to help. This app keeps things as minimal as possible: pick a duration, hit start, add ambient sound — a default one or your own — to help you stay focused. Work, short break, long break, repeat — no account, no ads, no setup required before you begin.

How it works

Get started in 3 simple steps.

  1. Set your focus duration

    Choose how long a session runs — this is the most important setting. Base it on how long you can actually focus on a given task, and give it a label that makes sense: need 25 minutes to study? Create a "Study" label with a 25-minute duration. That's it.

  2. Hit start and get to work

    Ambient sound keeps the rhythm going through the whole session, so you don't need to check the screen to know it's still running.

  3. Rest when the app says rest

    Take a short break, then get back to it. After a few rounds, the app gives you a longer break, and the cycle starts over.

Features

Simple, on purpose.

Everything here earns its place — built around a philosophy of simplicity and effectiveness.

  • The classic cycle, done right

    Work, short break, long break. No gimmicks, no gamification — just the technique as it was meant to be.

  • Personalize your ambient sound

    Everyone reacts differently to sound. That's why you can bring in your own audio to find what actually helps you focus.

  • No interruptions

    Hit start and flip your phone over. A notification lets you know when it's time to switch — nothing else demands your attention.

  • Nothing to configure

    No account, no onboarding screens, no settings to fill in. Open the app and the timer is already waiting.

  • Breaks that are actually breaks

    Short and long breaks are built into the cycle — not something you have to remember to take yourself.
