Yes, you can change the length of the work period and the length of breaks, yes, you can turn on a ticking sound and control its volume. I read through a bunch of negative reviews here, and they are all complaining about things that just are not true. There’s another Pomodoro-style app that I had been using that does the focus switch, but it doesn’t have the flexibility this one does, like pausing the work period and being able to log the task. I usually work with music so the alarm sounds are either lost, ignored, or too jarring. I only have one quibble with this app being less than great for me: I would like it to take the computer’s focus away from whatever I’m doing to the app so that I have to actually decide and click to keep working. This is great negative reviews seem to describe some other app Thank you for being so simple yet so powerful!!!
I don't like having to turn the ringer on just to hear the "break start/end" alarm go off.Īnyways, I LOVE this app and I'm glad I stumbled upon this. I wish the alarms would still sound even when the phone is in "silent mode" or "ringer off" mode. While I love this app, I do have 1 issue (then again I may just not have the correct settings) that I wish it had (the phone/ipad versions). I haven't really dove too deep into the extra stuff this app may have but maybe when I get a little more freetime I'll explore it a little deeper. This app is very simple to use without having to too many "bells and whistles". I stumbled on to this app while looking for useful study habits that actually help. With all the reading and studying that I have to do for nursing school, I was going insane (mostly because I can't stay focused for long periods of time) because I already have bad study habits and I just didn't know where to begin.

I started off with the free version, which works great and is still used on my laptop, but ended up buying the pro-version for my phone/ipad when they had a huge discount on it. (DVT induced pulmonary embolisms kill more people each year than motor vehicle accidents and HIV combined.) This is a powerful productivity technique, but please drink water and walk around. I ended up with a blood clot in my leg and experienced a bilateral pulmonary embolism. I made the mistake of not standing up and walking around, and I didn’t drink nearly enough water. Several years ago, I was using the pomodoro technique (not with this application) when working on an intense writing project. I only have one recommendation for people using this time management technique: Be sure to stand up and walk around when the timer beeps. I have looked at many different pomodoro applications during the past several years, and this is the one I always come back to using. Just like the porridge that is neither too hot nor too cold, the notification levels are just right. Also, this application hits the goldilocks spot as far as notifications are concerned. You would be surprised to know how many pomodoro applications lack this basic feature. These are the things that matter to me: a) Quick and easy access in the toolbar, b) Some sort of ability to log the total number of sessions in a single day, c) the ability to abort or pause sessions/breaks when interrupted and then quickly restart a session at will. I don’t use all of the advanced features in this application. This application is exactly what I needed
