Emphasis: Flow & Focus Timer

please add a todo list

I don't do a lot of app reviews but Emphasis is seriously impressive! This app has everything - from its sleek design to its endless customization options and user-friendly interface. It's like having a mini productivity sidekick right in your pocket. You know those days when you feel like you've blinked and hours have passed? Emphasis' sleek Pomodoro timer keeps me on track and focused. And further, for different kinds of tasks, I’ve set up custom timers and chimes. For example, I’ve added an “I can do anything for 5-minutes” timer here. Anytime I’m not feeling productive, or procrastinating, I simply tell myself that I’ll do it for 5 minutes and turn on this timer, before I know it, I’m deep into work, and making progress. I've tried many Pomodoro apps and even owned a physical timer, but none of those are easy to stick to. Each one of them has one limitation or the other. This is the first app that I've stuck to using for a month, and keep coming back to. With the calendar view, you can quickly review how you spend your time, complete with neat pie charts that break it down. I would strongly recommend keeping the widget on the Home Screen. It reminds me how I want to spend my time.

After purchasing, I was prompted to log in with my Apple or Google account to use the app. I tend to choose to create an seperate account when I purchase an app but the option to do so is not presented. It is only after you have purchased the app, you notice there is no option to create an account and locked-in to using your Apple or Google account. It would be great to have a choice to create a seperate account.

I love the simplicity of the app, and if more time customization was allowed on the free version I would’ve given it a 5 star review

Found out through my settings. Idk if I accidentally allowed access at some point? But thought it was weird for a timer app. Deleted immediately

Love it, the best looking and minimal pomodoro out there. What happened to the homescreen widget?

Good app. Apple Watch: 1. Please add Apple Watch complication: - so I can open from Home Screen - so that I can fee time remaining based on Home Screen (similar to how timer complication works) 2. Please allow for circular mode on Watch (similar to the phone graphics)

I’ve been using this app for years but I wish it had a landscape mode… Please add! 🙏🏽

I always struggle with my time management specifically with my focus and this app is helping me a lot to manage my time and do the things I need to do. The only problem for me is that for what it offers it’s kinda expensive.

I love this app and how simple/elegant the UI is compared to other pomodoro apps I've tried! But after updating to Version 8.0.0 it keeps crashing whenever I open it. I'm leaving this review because I'm not quite sure how I can go about filing a proper bug report, but please fix this issue soon! (For reference I'm using the app on an iPhone X running iOS 16.2)
