About this app

Bring structure to your workflow by utilising time blocking technique.


Time blocking is an effective strategy for using time wisely and achieving greater results. Blocking out time for specific activities allows you to focus on one task at a time, limit distractions and procrastination.


It's really simple to use:


1. Define your tasks at hand, make a task list.

2. Define a block of time during which you will eliminate all distractions and give all your focus to your tasks. Start the timer and work.

3. Take frequent breaks. Regular breaks are conducive to greater productivity and concentration. During these breaks take a breath of fresh air, do some push-ups, stretch or anything else that helps you to restore your power. Your body will thank you.

4. Repeat this work/break cycle and take a longer breaks when you feel you need to.


Daily goal setting, minimalistic design beautiful color themes, notifications and more.

Ratings and reviews

Overall this all works great! I agree that the alarm can be harsh, especially because on my phone (Pixel 4), it's linked to media volume as opposed to the alarm sound. If I am listening to a quiet podcast with the volume turned up, it will blast my ears. It also can lose track of the number of cycles it's on, and I often find it working on the "first" workset, despite it being my third or fourth.

Used to be a great app, unfortunately for the last several months it's basically useless. I'm guessing it's something to do with a recent Android update, the app no longer alerts me when a session has ended. If I unlock my phone after the session has ended then it will make the notification sound & vibration. I've gone through all the settings I can think of and haven't found anything. Please look into this if possible, there aren't any other pomodoro apps that are this simple & straightforward!

If you're just looking for a pomodoro timer this does just fine. However, I guess I've been spoiled by the free online pomo timer where tasks can be tracked in a to-do list. When doing remote work, having that visual aid built into the pomo timer helps a lot. I know there are premium features, but when your app is outclassed by a free webpage that's not really an excuse.
