A quieter way to focus

Your timer is there when you need it—and gone when you do not.

Open Pomodoro: Work & Study Timer from the menu bar, choose a session, and close the popover. The timer keeps working while you do. On first launch, a brief introduction shows you where to find it — respecting Reduce Motion when enabled.

Session controls, focus history, English and Turkish localization, completion feedback, and settings.

A rhythm you control

Focus, pause, recover, repeat.

Pomodoro: Work & Study Timer suggests what comes next but never starts a session for you. Every duration can be adjusted to fit your day.
