Brain Focus Productivity Timer

After trying a handful of different timers, this one is simple yet effective. Unlike other apps that have a thousand different fields to input and all that stuff this one requires no brain power to set up , which is good because ima need all that brain power to do the task I need the timer for. Would give it 5 stars, but I just wish there were more basic functions; for example, labels that it would read aloud. Good ap do recommend.

Since finding out I ADHD, this app has really helped me. My one qualm is that I wish the 'reminder after session has ended' could be modified to give the option to apply only to break sessions. I am in law school so I brief a lot of cases, and sometimes can't get through a case in my study block so I finish it up before I take a break. Constantly hearing the little ringing bell while I'm trying to make sense of a case is really annoying, but I need the bell to not overdue my break

App is really good, with lots of great customization options. But I've noticed today it seems to be blocking notifications from other apps (Instagram, in particular) - I get those notifications when not using Brain Focus but I don't get them when I am. I really only want to use this as a timer so I'd like to know how to stop this behaviour (interfering with other app notifications). That makes it unusable for me right now. ("Block applications during work session" is not enabled)

This is the best pomodoro app I've ever used. I love how you can create different tasks and have details about your sessions. The only problem I have is that it turns off bedtime mode when a work session ends. It's not a big deal since it's easy to reenable but it would be nice if that gets fixed

This is literally the only thing I've ever reviewed but it definitely deserves it. For a person who has bad ADHD and has a hard time starting things this app is a literal life saver. Not even for just homework too! I use this app to get started cleaning or to start something productive outside of endless scrolling on my phone or watching tv! 100/10 best app I've ever installed would recommend. Also there is no ads so that's awesome

Great app, multiple functions and customization options. Insanely fast feedback and help from the developer. Update: The app is working again without the weird music loop in the intro screen. Initially the app kept playing this weird tune over and over again, even after closing the app multiple times and other apps in the background. Of course when I get a camera to record it, it fixes itself and stops doing it. I'm confused but happy that it's working again. Thank you for the quick reply.

This app has saved me as I finish the last few courses for my degree. I have a hard time maintaining focus because everything seems so large and unmanageable. So much easier to focus in smaller chunks with built in breaks, and the app makes it so I don't have to spend another 30 mins setting up alarms or wasting time in between setting timers and hoping I remember to reset them! I haven't used most of the features yet, but the timer alone has been worth the download. I use this app every day!

I really like the simplicity and layout of this app. Just one suggestion. I mainly use the app when I'm studying and have my phone on silent, so I don't get disturbed by calls, notifications etc. However the alarms that signal the end of a timed period do not sound if the phone is in silent mode, so it is easy to miss unless you are looking at the display. Please could you fix this or add in an option to have the alarm to sound in silent mode. Thanks

Developer contacted me directly to fix the issue, unfortunately couldn't recover my previous months of data and suspect it was an issue with beta version but I'm able to use the app again. Tried just about every other pomo app in the app store, this is the best one out there. You can add categories, each with their own settings and even subcategories called tasks. So many options the others don't offer and the ability to see where your time is spent. Glad to have it back! Thanks so much!

This was the first pomodoro app i installed and it served its purpose for a while, but it has a few annoying things. If i minimise the app to make something work related on my phone, the work session will go to waste - all of it!! The auto skip breaks doesn't work, and ultimately it's just a very basic app without any motivational feature that would give me more anxiety than actual help. I've seen others where you can actually build forests, and the overall design more appealing. Uninstalling :)

Absolutely the best! I'm a pure breed procrastinator having to do the thesis in architecture. This app saved my life. What I really like about it is that it's super simple, no added nonsense and you can change the settings and in how long you wish to work and how long you want the breaks to be. Also it has a pause button so no worries if something happenes and you need to alter the time spent on a task.

Often time freezes and just deleted all the data. I often had the problem that the time freezes after half an hour or so. Then the time could only be added manually. But I seldom looked at my clock at the beginning. So I have to guess how long I really was working. So this was a problem I could solve. But now (I have to admit that I didn't do a backup) it deleated all my data while running and freezing. What the heck? Data from 2 month working is gone forever... Thanks for nothing.

It's really good app simple design, helpful, not containing something useless and helps me a lot these days do concentrate on anything. so I bought pro version. But one thing. It often stops when screen is off and even on. I did turn off the bettery maintenance as Trouble shooting said. But the matter is not fixed. It makes me irritated. Please fix the bug.

I've been using this app throughout my academic career. It's interface is very simple and clear. I also really like the way this app keeps statistics. It allows me to see and analyse what kept me busy through the year. There's a only a little bug, that after a pause it skips the following break, but it doesn't happen all the time. Thank you for the developers

Overall awesome app. I have concentration issues, so it helps me study by breaking up my study time into manageable chunks of studying and breaks. I also love how you can customize the sounds for the end of work time and break times (I especially love the clapping sound for the end of a work session because it makes me feel more accomplished). My only criticism is that the stats don't have a one month option, only 7 days or 6 months.

Good features, works well overall. Seeing that , I bought the yearlong subscription. But sadly the app isn't optimized for Samsung tab s7. I am NOT able to see my daily statistics. It's just shows the bar graph of count or hours and not the detailed daily statistics. Dear dev kindly look into it as it is not something you expect after paying for it.

I enjoy this app because it helps motivate me without stressing me out. A lot of apps deal in making exact schedules or following a strict to do list. Which I admit is helpful and has it's place. I like that with this app, I don't have to worry about planning things out. I just click on the icon to start the timer and let the app space out my work and break times. It is so much easier to get myself motivated by just setting my goal to work for a certain amount of time.

This app is great. It does the essential very well and easily. The statistics could be improved. I would like for example to see a pie chart for all the tasks that belong to one category. There are some minor glitches: entering the task setting triggers the lock screen at times, but nothing that makes the app unsuable. High recommend.

I like this app, it's very useful for people like me with ADHD who need a way to break up work in small, bite-size chunks and interleave breaks. You added customizable sounds, so that's cool! One additional feature request - make a snooze feature, for both working and breaks, so if you need to keep working 5 more minutes, you can, and then get a break, or if a break needs to be longer than the preset time, add 5 more minutes, or 10. It would also be useful to be able to customize the how many/often the Reminder After Session/Break Ending notifications happen. A lot of times I need just a little more time and by the time I am ready to come back and work, the reminder 'dings' have stopped and I am distracted and forget to start the next work cycle. If there were a snooze feature for work and break, that would eliminate the need for customizing the reminder 'dings'. I am a paid user, so please don't think I undeservedly feel entitled to ask for improvements. :) You have done a great job with this app.

Excellent app! The only one that I'm aware of which is ACTUALLY useful and helpful! (Depends on your individual needs, obviously, but this one is highly customisable, which is awesome!) ... Also: the free version works excellently, without being constantly reminded to upgrade, distracted by unnecessary "features" and nudges to go "pro", or having to buy a subscription to actually benefit from the app, as was the case with the other apps I have tried. 5.0 out of 5 stars, hands down. Kudos devlps!

I'm pretty happy with this app. The only thing that I dislike about the app is that I cannot sort tasks or categories, if I drag them into the order I want, the next action within the app undoes it. On a positive note I really like that I export to Excel and analyze the data. I'm looking foward to the results once I get better at using the app throughout the day.

The app works great. I love the ability to add minutes and interruption time. But it has been a huge battery drain. I've noticed it for a while and finally tested it My pixel 3 is 1month old and I lost 5% over just one 25min session. I hope there is something that can be changed to fix it.

This app is the best for studying or anything you are trying to focus on. I love that you can customize the sessions for what works best for you. I changed the settings where I have 30 minutes session and 10 minute breaks and I find I am so much more productive when I have a structure set up for my breaks. This is an absolute game changer and has made focusing so much easier. 5 stars

It has all the features I need (and plenty more): wifi off (which many apps I tried didn't have), alarm actually wakes my phone (some apps do so only after I, after some time, check if the time is past), manually set modes of timing, statistics (very useful and goes all the way 6 months)... Very functional. I highly recommend it if you want to jump on the work asap
