What Pomodorome is
Pomodorome is a focus timer for Mac and iOS that organizes work into timed sessions and breaks. On Mac, it stays in the menubar and opens as a popover without taking a Dock slot. Session and break lengths can be set to the second, and users can label their work for a daily log. Statistics include heatmaps, weekly bars, top tasks, and day, week, or month views. Session history is grouped by day and can be exported to CSV. The free plan includes custom session lengths, daily statistics, sounds, and notifications. Pro adds iCloud sync, expanded statistics and export, projects for individual tasks, and priority support for a one-time payment of $5; the price varies by region. The site says sessions remain on users’ devices and that the app has no accounts, analytics, or servers. Pro sync is described as end-to-end encrypted through iCloud. Listed requirements are macOS 14.6+ and iOS 17.6+.
