This app is really understated and should be getting way more 5-star reviews and users. I’m honestly shocked that it hasn’t. I have it on my laptop and now on my phone too. It helped me finish writing a book in less than three weeks.
(2nd Update) Should be 4.5 Stars!

Thank you to the Dev do listening to the users! Users now have the ability to edit most details after recording a focus session! This was a crucial feature that had previously made the app unusable for me. Now, not only can the user update the start and stop times, but also the amount of “focus” within that time block. This is a great feature for helping to understand how much you have been pulled away during your session (can also be controlled by a pause button in live activity widget). To be honest, there are a lot of other really fantastic features as well. So why not 5 stars? I still think there is a small fundamental issue. Tags are used to create the categories for how the users focus sessions are sorted. This is not a problem in itself, but once created there is no way to edit the name or change the color or the tag/category. Being that this is a fundamental building block of the application there should be some sort of editing available. Once this is implemented, the app will be darn near perfect. —————————1st Update Below: Without the ability to edit entries AT ALL. I’ve found that I’ve needed to more on. I want to use Pomo Up! I just can’t. These types of tools are ment to help, not cause friction and/or frustration. Unfortunately, after using it for a bit I’ve realized that I’m not perfect (no surprise there), but without the ability to edit this app requires you to be perfect with your logging. For me, that’s a nonstarter anymore.Pomo Up Team: PLEASE add the ability to edit entries. The utility of this tool will skyrocket in my opinion.—————————Original Review Below:As a Pomodoro timer, it works really well, great in fact! But this also has a stopwatch feature that I use even more and it tracks time and stats really well. You can start it, do your work, and then pause it and/or stop it when done. For my brain this works so much better than a Pomodoro most of the time. What doesn't work great for my brain is remembering to stop and or start it back up all the time.Unfortunately, there's no way to manually adjust these times. If there was this app would be darn near perfect!Please add this feature!
Developer Response
Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! I completely understand how important it is to be able to edit logged times, and I appreciate you sharing your experience. I’ll definitely consider adding this feature in a future update. Thanks again for helping us improve Pomo Up!
Amazing

It actually helped me focus on my studies and the collaboration with my friends was nice although we weren’t together we still got work done. If you are looking for an app that really helps you focus this is the one.
Can’t Find the Widgets
Christyw2000
I just paid for the Pro Version specifically so I could add the Widgets pictured in the description to the Home Screen on my MacBook, but I don’t see any option to do that. The app itself works fine, but I was really hoping for those widgets and would not have purchased Pro if I knew I couldn’t get them.
Developer Response
Sorry about the confusion. On Mac, widgets are added to the desktop/Notification Center (not a “Home Screen”). Please make sure you’re on macOS Sonoma or later, then right-click the desktop → Edit Widgets. "For iPhone widgets, enable System Settings → Desktop & Dock → Widgets → “Use iPhone widgets.” If it still doesn’t show, please email me at hlai.manjun@gmail.com with your macOS version + screenshot and I’ll help.

- Fixed: After restarting the app mid-session, your buddy didn't follow your movements even with headphones on.
- Fixed: In rare cases, motion detection still started after it was turned off.

- New design: Lock Screen Live Activities now use a translucent glass style.
- Improved: The expanded Dynamic Island now matches the Lock Screen, and the progress ring is drawn from the actual start time.
- Improved: Focus and break end notifications are now Time Sensitive, so they still reach you when a Focus mode is on.
