About basic Pomodoro steps - It’s all about focusing your work efforts in timed 25 minute chunks, with a 5 minute break in between each burst of activity.
1) Choose a task to be done.
2) Set the timer for 25 minutes.
3) Focus on the task until the timer rings
4) Take a short break (just do something relaxing for 5 minutes)
5) Once you’ve completed 4 Pomodoros, take a longer break. (20~30 minutes)
Features:
• Adjust the timer with your fingers just like you do with real egg-timer.
• Next session starts automatically when the current session ends.
• Track your progress with two different charts (7 days and 30 days)
• See your daily goal (number of Pomodoros per day)
• Different sounds for short break, long break and Pomodoro session.
• Different colors for short break, long break and Pomodoro session.

This does not calculate the total work hours correct

I am so regret to buy this app . It does not calculate the hours correct. Shame on you
I paid for it and it still freezes

This app often pauses on its own. That’s incredibly annoying when you wonder why your focus session is so long and check to see that it decided to stop on its own at 15 minutes. Fix ASAP

This app got me through my master's while working full time. The breaks ensured that I got up to do laundry and eat food. Highly recommended.
Highly Recommend from your Average Highschooler

I’m in high school and I can’t focus on anything, especially when it’s time to start prepping for finals so instead I cram 7 classes, including a college class, into 2 to 3 days (not the healthiest way, am I right?) Instead of studying, I stress out. Ever since I got this app, I’ve got higher test scores like that 85% in chemistry that I’ve been hoping for or that 92% in geometry that I’ve been begging for. I’ve finally seen huge improvements in my overall grades as well. Last semester, I had two C’s and A’s and B’s. So far this semester, I’ve had all A’s and only one B in chemistry. This app is basically my hero. Thank you so much!
No customization without paying

Very disappointed in the app. Can change anything without the pro version. I’m not finna pay $2/month to see mayb
Best Pomodoro Timer You Can Get!!

Trust me I’ve scoped them all, even written a couple myself (via Shortcuts), but this is the best app on the AppStore if you’re often distracted, unmotivated, or suffer from adult ADHD. I definitely upgraded to pro, worth it to customize my chimes (Pavlov conditioning myself haha), and set the background colors to something I enjoy glancing at all day. The main benefit of this app in my opinion is the tracking/data analytic aspect they perfectly built in. The only thing I wish this app had was a text box you could enter your current task into so that it was present on-screen while the work-session timer is counting down. All in all this is my favorite and most used app whenever I have big tasks to work on or if I ever feel my productivity isn’t at the level where I know it can be. Highly recommend my friends! Edit: One other note, seems the chime settings are a bit backwards. I guess I expect to set the chime sound that would start the session. For example when setting the Focus Alarm to News Is expect that sound to play when I’m going into a new Focus session however I have to set this sound to the other two breaks to get this to play how I intend since the sound for Focus Alarm actually plays when that session is over.
