Awesome productivity app!
I love this app. It allows you to select daily pomodoro targets, keep track of different task categories, and even customize the length of breaks. Awesome! The only feature I wish this app had was the ability to adjust the number of pomodoro units depending on the task. For example, my pomodoro daily target for test prep might be 7, but my daily target for meditation is only 1 to 2. Currently, there doesn't seem to be a way to assign different pomodoro targets to different tasks, and pomodoro units completed in one task category will appear in all categories. But, these points don't diminish this app's value to me at all. The pomodoro method is amazing, and this app has made it so easy to get a lot more done. Thank you, BeFocused!
Simply great!
User friendly, useful and fun
Great App
Simple to use. Syncing across devices is great. Reports are useful.
Indispensable to get my textbook job done!
Pomodori!!
Love the pro synchronization feature!
Would love to have the Apple Watch app though.
Great tool for easily distracted ppl
I love this app. It greatly helps me organize my time and stay focused. It’s simple, straightforward, and effective.
I used it everyday for about 2 yrs now!
The default setting of 25 min of studying and 5 min break is perfect. Though I usually need a 30 min break after studying for 3-4 cycles (1.5-2 hrs). Hope this helps!
One of the best
This app is one of the best I have used, period. I feel so much more productive when I use the Pomodoro method to focus my attention. This app is simple and easy to use. The interface is terrific and straightforward.
Useful Tool
That would really help a person who persists in having a commitment to time management and and makes use of time slices reasonably and efficiently 💖
Honesty and pacing tracker
Keeping pomodoros logged helps keep oneself honest about effort and allows appropriate breaks. I would recommend. It just needs a dark mode.
