Be focused review

Jigsnofibs on

United States

Been rocking with them for a minute but I can't get timers with breaks that are seconds not minutes. And there is no contact number it's only email, implying they don't want to have to deal with customer service, so they send you to email knowing they won't be able to get to it, there needs to be a contact number, even one from a partner app would work.

Easy to use and keeps me on track

Developers continue to improve it!!!

AKMpls on

Edit: my 5 star review from 6 months ago, below, is out of date. App is still a 5 star app but even better. Love how the developers continue to actively improve this ALL THE TIME. They added the time into the Mac menu bar and added the ability to kick off using shortcuts!! Seriously beyond impressed. For the price of 2 cups of coffee, you could increase your productivity forever. Love love love this app. (Now if only they let you use seconds or fractions of minutes as a unit of measure. Sometimes you really want a break to be 30 seconds because: reasons) But for real. Incredible app. Original review early 2025: I love this app — or rather, I really want to love it. I’ve found that it comes the closest to most timer / Pomodoro apps out there to being exactly what I need. The biggest complaint I have? It lives on its own island. Using it on the iPad? No ability to do split screen or otherwise quickly peek at how much time is left. Using it on the Mac? No ability to see the time remaining in the menu bar without clicking up there. (And no easy way to call the app from Shortcuts to write your own workaround to assign hotkeys / macros). It helpfully shows time in the iPhone Dynamic island and helpfully sends notifications to your Apple Watch. Again, nearly perfect and well thought through: certainly the best at what it does and easily worth the price. But when you become a power user, you’ll find yourself wishing it could do just a LITTLE more…

Paid subscription bugs

natandjensen on

United States

I have used this app and apps like it for over six years, and I finally bought the pro version of be focused because of the synchronization feature between my computer and phone. However, this feature is at times finicky and the computer and phone take a few minutes to be synchronized with each other and sometimes they do not synchronize at all, and I have to completely reset my device. Please fix these bugs for those of us paying for the ad-free premium features.

Great focus timer app among similar free apps

MaYa-asn on

United States

I’ve used your app extensively, and in my opinion, it’s the best free tool available for timing tasks. However, there’s one major issue that still hasn’t been addressed: the lack of a dark mode in the main app. While the widget supports dark mode, the core app does not. This creates a jarring experience—especially at night—when you open the app and are suddenly hit with a bright white screen. Please consider adding a dark mode to the main app to make the experience more consistent and user-friendly🙏🏼
