Pomodoro Timer
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.

Fantastic app. I love how simple a and minimalistic it is. It knows what it is and it gets the job done. Literally the only things I would change about it are: 1. An option for a black background; and 2. A more visual alarm (like it flashes between the background colour and its complementary colour, or something like that). Otherwise, this is exactly the Pomodoro timer that I was looking for.
Really love this app, I like how you can choose your own background colour (though I would like and would pay for, more options), I like that you can set a goal of how many blocks you want. The only thing I don't like is the alarm tone, it makes me jump so hard when I'm really in the zone, and let's hope I don't happen to have a cat on my lap at the time! I wish there were more options as I can't get the notification sound to work on my phone, only my tablet. But I absolutely recommend this app!
As someone who's always struggled to stay on task for more than 5 minutes I didn't expect this to work but I was desperate. I have to say now though, since getting this app I've gotten almost all my homework done and I'm even feeling better whilst doing it. It's a wonderful app and it really helps you get the job done, which is extremely important for those at the pointy end of high school. Easy to navigate, never faulty, great app. 5 stars easily :)
This app design is simple, I like it. It's easy to use and u can customize the duration and display colour to your personal liking. The design is simple so it doesn't distract you. You're still able to open other apps, so if you wanna get an app that will keep u from opening other apps, this might not be the one for you It will start with the study timer, can't rly move from study, break, and long break timer manually, you have to adjust it in the settings which sometimes is a hustle
This has been so so useful for me in writing my exam, really helps keep me focused. The simple design is very nice. Only things I wish it had would be a custom colour option (even though there are great selections) and maybe a way to see your history, like a calendar or something, to tell how you've been doing.
Does what it needs to and love the app's visuals-- minimal, nondistracting, nice ding sound. A circular pie-chart-clock-thing display works very well for a time-blind ADHD like me. I just wish there was a Windows/Mac/Browser version!!! I like it to be visible at all times but having my phone screen on runs down the battery.
This is the app I have been searching for. No external features. Just a simple pomodoro which also has a auto start of break and pomodoro. We can also turn it off. Love to use it. I can set timer with perfect breaks in between, nothing else. No words to describe it's excellence.
I love this app. Often when an app says it's free, it's not actually "free". The cost is that you need to sit through multiple ads. This app is actually free, there is no cost at all. Not your time or money. The functionality is simple, the layout is beautiful, clean and modern and it has just the right amount of customizable features in order to make your experience flexible, yet keep the functionality simple. It does exactly what it is meant to do with no distractions and looks great too.
Great app. Very simple with only a few features - it's a timer, just a timer, and it's not trying to reinvent the wheel. I love you can also change the background colors, and there are settings for adjusting time frames. What I love the most is that you can choose to have it automatically go into a break time! It is so convenient. Thanks for making a simple and awesome app for free and ad free! ❤️ 😃
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!
It is the perfect app for me. I use it for my studies as well as when I'm watching movies and so on. My eyes get pretty strained so it reminds me to take a small break. Sometime the timer doesnt go off u less i open the screenlock. Maybe its a bug, i hope you all will see into that. Apart from that more pastels would be greatly welcomed! Its a great app nonetheless. You all are helping many. Great job!
The aesthetic of the app is very cute, minimalistic, and distraction free. I would've given this five stars but it had a HUGE BUG. I found that I have to check the app often because the timer stops working if I don't? I tested it out by simultaneously running a timer on my laptop and it's still there. Also, the notifications doesn't work sometimes, and so my short break turns into a long one and my long break turns into HOURS. As I've said, you need to check the app often to make sure.
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.
I used this app before and decided to try again. As for free app, it has its own advantages compare to other paid apps. Like, changing cycle times as you want, skipping breaks, change background color, etc. But I noticed whether it skips breaks sometimes or there's no notification. And I realize I didn't have a break and already on the next cycle. It happens on some days and on some cycles. And on other days it works perfectly.
Very useful, nevertheless, there's an issue when I stop the pomodoro while it is timing, I have to pause it before stop it, if I don't do this first, there will be a notification about the app that is running 👀, but I've stopped the pomodoro. Well, that's not bad, but it is a bit confusing sometimes 🤯🥴 Thanks for this app, I really loved it ;) And also the animations at the beginning of the starting of the app are so great 👍🏼, nice, nice job.
Pomodoro timer is great. I've tried so many others but they hve too many distractions. Pomodoro timer has no distractions and is a simple app and it's free! I am a teenager and I easily get distracted by cool animations. If u want to consentrate (which pomodoro apps are usually used for) this app is just perfect! It doesn't even use much battery.. don't know about others, may work differently in different devices.. no idea. But I love this app!
Developers need to update the app. It's been a while. And there's a bug. At first few uses it was functioning well. Later on it stops notifying when the set duration is over. Usually in 20/ 40 minutes the phone screen would darken. That's when it skips notification. If this is fixed it's a perfect app.
It's possible I'm missing something (I'll update the review if I'm corrected!) but I've looked all over in the settings and can't figure out how to stop it from vibrating my watch (Garmin Vivosmart3) every second. I need it to vibrate when the timer is up, so I can't disengage it from my watch completely, but this prevents it from being useful at all to me.
The first time Pomodoro has worked for me. I have found a lot of productivity apps over complicated and self aggrandising. I find that my biggest struggle is purely starting a task and anxiety of not giving time to review it before sending it off. This simple timer is non intrusive, cleanly designed and follows the methodology of Pomodoro perfectly. It's bright but subtle layout makes it ideal for checking in and it it only does push notifications to remind a user of relevant time scales.
I really like this pomodoro. Not only it is easy to use but the structure of the app is simple. Also, there's really no ads in it. But recently, for some reason, the alarm doesn't go off when the timer is done. I have to turn on my phone to make it rings. This is irritating, because i don't know when it is done or not. I don't want to turn on the option to keep my phone awake to save some battery, but that might be the only solution for now...
Its an amazing app for studies as well as any other tasks you want to focus on. The minimalist design is perfect and the app is easy to use with no distractions. It has helped me immensely in focusing on the tasks and I can use this app conveniently without the ads and whatsoever. Overall a great app and better than other pomodoro timers which are not easy to use and cause distractions too👍🏻
Works great. I love the simplicity. There are a few bugs though. Sometimes the alarm won't actually go off until I turn my screen back on, but that hasn't happened often enough to detract from the app. Regardless, that's why it's four stars rather than five. Highly recommend nonetheless
Easy to use, simple and beautiful UI, although I wish there's a functionality that allows me to skip a study/break session. Sometimes I forgot to hit that 5 minute quick break when I go to grab lunch. I would want to be able to skip that break and jump into a study/work session right after.
Welcoming UI; often reliable. Alarm behaviour can be inconsistent, as others have noted. One feature I would really appreciate in future, is the ability to scrub through the timer. I have ADHD, so choosing to manually begin the next segment is an important part of the process for me. I don't always remember to press 'go'; it doesn't mean I want to give up on trying to structure my time though! Having the ability to update the tracker to where I've actually reached, would be really helpful.
Very simple but does what it is supposed to do. It's a timer nothing else. People often forget that. Very simple UI but quite effective.I like the aesthetic of this. I recommended this to people who are trying to use the pomodoro technic especially those who have trouble focusing like me. The app will do it's job correctly and that is not distracting you.
This is my first pomodoro app to try, and I like it. It has the essential features, plus a color customizer. Note: I find the alert bell to be harsh and instead have switched to vibrate during study. But, depending on how I spend my break(like running and playing quick fetch with my dog), I might not notice it. I suggest adding more alarm sounds, and instead of one alert for study and break time, have one for each.
Best in terms of simplicity. One thing that would be better if improved is the font color of the text, it is hard to read on most of the proposed themes. Otherwise this is the best Free Pomodoro App with enough and not complicated functionalities. Thanks to developers.
