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

If you don't keep the screen on while using the app cycles do not end or end late. The notification will say 0:00 remaining, but will not notify that the period has ended. If I click on the notification when the app is in the bugged state, the app shows up with the timer on the next phase. Sometimes the timer freezes earlier than 0:00. I have keep awake set in the app and battery optimization disabled. The notification sound is very quiet, also.

I found it very useful in focussing on tasks at hand. The 25-5-15 minute cycle of "work-short break-long break" is quite practical. Getting up in the middle of the work after a short 25 minute work looks odd. But it indeed helps and can be followed without losing focus. I found it after using this app for about a week now.

Love this beautiful, simple design. Easy to use. Great color palettes. would like to see an option to add a few minutes to the Pomodoro session when time's up. For working/studying, I sometimes find that I could use a few extra minutes to wrap up my thoughts before the break. Session histories could be a useful feature too, as a way to help track habit building.
