PomoTimer keeps the clock where your eyes already are

A Pomodoro timer with Live Activities, so the session runs on your lock screen and Dynamic Island while you work.

The technique, without the fiddling

Run classic 25-minute Pomodoros or set your own work and break intervals to match your energy and the kind of task in front of you. Alerts land when a session starts and ends, gentle haptics mark the transitions, and you never have to open the app to know how much time is left.

Made to stay out of your way

The interface is minimal on purpose: a timer, your intervals, and nothing pulling at your attention. Multiple themes let you pick something calm to stare past, and layouts are tuned for both iPhone and iPad.

Works for whatever you are avoiding

Study blocks, deep work, reading, admin you keep postponing. Structure the time, take the break, repeat. The point of Pomodoro is rhythm, and this app’s only job is keeping it.

Where the time actually shows up

The feature that changes how a Pomodoro app feels is Live Activities. The running session sits on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island, counting down in plain sight, so you never break focus to check how long is left and never lose the thread by opening the app to look. The timer stays where your attention already drifts, which is the difference between a timer you use once and one you keep.

Shaped to the work in front of you

The classic twenty-five and five is there when you want the standard, but a long writing stretch and a pile of small admin tasks do not deserve the same rhythm. Custom work and break intervals let you match the session to the job and your energy, and gentle haptics mark each transition so the shift from work to break registers without a jarring alarm.
