5/5Makes it Fun to Focus
I love collecting the tomatoes, but it makes me really mad when I have to pause the timer because of someone else. I didn’t know that it would give me a sad-faced tomato! I wish that I could pause the timer without punishment. I know when it’s my fault or someone else’s fault for having to stop my focus. If it was mine, I would take the L/ sad tomato willingly. But when it comes to someone else forcing me off, I don’t deserve to be “punished” with a sad tomato for that. I have a work-study job, so interruptions are always inevitable. I don’t want to keep the timer running while I’m helping a client, because I don’t deserve to be rewarded with a happy-faced tomato when I didn’t actually focus for my chosen amount of time, but I don’t deserve to be punished either because it wasn’t of my choosing to get interrupted. Life happens, and this app should give us the option to reflect that. (Another feature I like about this app: I get to choose the amount of time I want to focus for each session. So I can start small at 15 minutes, then as I get better at focusing, I can increase the duration to 25 or more minutes.)

5/5Love the app
Love the app! Been using it around 2 weeks now and it makes it much easier for me to focus on tasks that don’t necessarily have end dates/times. I’ve always struggled with ongoing things like cleaning or responding to work emails but this helps me give tasks like these a finite amount of time as opposed to feeling like they’re looking over me indefinitely. Instead of being like “oh no I have 100 emails I need to get through” I can instead just be like “I am spending the next 25 minutes on emails.” I get so much more done with so much less existential dread. And it gives me a sense of accomplishment that just powering through part my inbox doesn’t. I also like that the app doesn’t force you to shut everything down to use it. I’ve used apps like that in the past and found them helpful but not the right fit for me.

4/5Great app
This app is great for the standard pomodoro user, and i love watching my tomatoes collect on the main screen after each session. It is very satisfying and motivating! There are some features i think should be added. Under the pomodoro technique section of the settings, there are options to change the length of the short and long breaks, but no way to change the length of the focus sessions. This would make the app alot more customizable and usable by more people for more purposes. I also find the labeling confusing for the focus session settings. The default setting of “3” i believe has 3 short breaks before the long break but the wording is odd and confusing and should offer a description or change to reflect its true meaning. I know more color themes are in development now but the devs should consider maybe different fruits/characters to accumulate on your screen as well if at all possible. overall, this app is my personal favorite for tracking my use of the pomodoro method and i hope to watch the app continue to grow and expand.

4/5Nice app, but needs macOS app and other changes to be the best. Here’s why
Hi, I’ve been using FocusPomo for the whole year with an annual subscription waiting for a “macOS future support” and it never happened. I mean, I did’t get synchronized timer that I could have controlled from all of the computers as I had in a “Flow” app. Now my annual subscription is gone and I’m looking forward to upgrading to a natively macOS supported version and finally buy it. I really like this app but it’s sad that the full-macOS version takes too much time to be released. I know, I could use iPadOS version on macOS, but it wasn’t actually that good as I expected to be like. I really wanna see those features like menu-bar control or screen saver notifications, not just Live Activities from macOS Support. Also, I didn’t like the Dynamic Island length during the focus time. It covered all the system icons like cellular and wifi. I may understand it was about to be focused on what you do, but it didn’t look naturally for me. Thanks!

4/5New feature
I love Pomo so far, but I would personally love it more if we had the ability to customize our Pomo colors. Overall, I think the functionality of the app is great. The user interface is very easily usable. There’s a solid foundation & design for this app. I just love the idea of being able to customize our background colors or tomato colors maybe even the timer colors would be awesome too. update in response to pomodoro team: so initially i just liked the idea of changing the color of tomatoes simply for fun, but now that you’ve mentioned it as a way of having a visual breakdown of how time is spent & the different tasks we’ve achieved throughout the day, i love it because you could look back at it and see how much you were able to get done. & i also enjoy the idea of the actual timer background being able to have a different color, so instead of it being light orange tinged with gray numbers the background could be pink or green etc. that aspect is more so just for aesthetics because i know me personally, i love anything that can be aesthetically pleasing, & a lot of times when i see reviews of apps on productivity on social media platforms something i always hear them mention is how they like the personalization features an app can offer. little add-ins like these would have me feeling more motivated to log my productivity throughout the day. thank you for hearing out my thoughts! you guys are doing great.

"body": "I love Pomo so far, but I would personally love it more if we had the ability to customize our Pomo colors. Overall, I think the functionality of the app is great. The user interface is very easily usable. There’s a solid foundation & design for this app. I just love the idea of being able to customize our background colors or tomato colors maybe even the timer colors would be awesome too. update in response to pomodoro team: so initially i just liked the idea of changing the color of tomatoes simply for fun, but now that you’ve mentioned it as a way of having a visual breakdown of how time is spent & the different tasks we’ve achieved throughout the day, i love it because you could look back at it and see how much you were able to get done. & i also enjoy the idea of the actual timer background being able to have a different color, so instead of it being light orange tinged with gray numbers the background could be pink or green etc. that aspect is more so just for aesthetics because i know me personally, i love anything that can be aesthetically pleasing, & a lot of times when i see reviews of apps on productivity on social media platforms something i always hear them mention is how they like the personalization features an app can offer. little add-ins like these would have me feeling more motivated to log my productivity throughout the day. thank you for hearing out my thoughts! you guys are doing great.",

Experience Improvements: Smoother data stats interactions. Improved timeline animations. \"Back to Today\" button in timeline. Enhanced animation when setting custom time. Widget improvements. Fixed iOS 26 black screen issue. Bug Fixes: App showed completed status after being closed in the background. New focus tags were not selected by default. Timeline date errors in iPad split screen. Manual focus records not syncing with Calendar & Health. This update adds 13,000+ lines of code, optimizing many small details for a smoother, simpler experience. We believe simplicity is built on extreme refinement — each update should make the app feel easier, not more complicated. During development, our designer also welcomed a new baby into the world!
