Focus Tomato is a serious tomato helping you stay focused.
Cheer you up when you succeed.
—— Recommended consuming order ——
Step 1: Goal setting
If the goal is too big, break it down.
Step 2: only focus for 25 minutes
* Only focus on one thing
* Avoid distraction; make efforts to keep the Tomato running (ex. if someone hits you up, tell him/her getting back to you shortly!)
* Better to watch the timer counting
Step 3: Rest for 5 minutes
* Not suitable for mental consuming tasks
* Light activities that are good for your mind and body
* Pause your work momentarily can help you view things from another perspective and avoid couldn't see the forests for the trees.
Step 4: Repeat 4 times, then take a more extended rest for 15 to 30 minutes
Repeat the previous two steps for 4 times, and take a 15 to 30 minutes long rest
—— After taking it, you can gain the following benefits on top of straight As ——
* Prevent distracting and stay focused more easily: counting down timer brings good stress
* Reduce interruptions: postpone other tasks; most things can wait for 25 minutes
* Avoid procrastinating: when the timer is running, it means the declaration of a focused time frame
* Endure longer: with adequate rest, you can run further
—— Features of “Focus Tomato” ——
Based on the Pomodoro method with new spice-ups and improvements.
* Do not force stop; keep the flow
Classical Promodoro clock asks you to stop working asap when time is up; Focus Tomato only notifies you with sound and does not force you to stop. You can keep staying in the zone and running the timer.
* Fractional time is allowed
Classical Promodoro clock requires to maintain 25 minutes duration. Focus Tomato freely lets you count the fractional time as long as it starts running.
* Modifiable Timeline
It is usual to forget to stop the timer. Focus Tomato allows you to modify the Timeline and make adjustments afterward.
* Do Not Disturb mode is available
Distracted by too many notifications? Do Not Disturb mode can be enabled when Focus Tomato is running.
* Integrate smoothly with other work methods and/or apps
Because the app only applies the timing part of the Promodoro technique, in addition to the original Promodoro method, you can also use the Reminder, Trello, or physical notebooks along with it.
Good tomato, why not eat it?
What’s New
Version 5.3.1
Fixed a significant bug affecting user experience. Users encountered inaccurate tomatoes count issues when starting the focus mode immediately after a rest period. This update addresses this issue, ensuring accurate statistics for focus time and the number of Pomodoros, making your time management more reliable.
Ratings and Reviews
Great app for students
First, it’s very artistic. This is the chief reason why I chose it. Sorry for being a bit superficial but I believe it meant to be like that.
Second, it’s user-friendly. Every thing is simple and easy to understand.
A very helpful app for students like me.
Room for improvement: if the timer is can be shown or linked to the wallpaper (both the lock and home screens) while using, that would be a lot better becuz users can see the timer all the time. So when I leave the app or shift to another app (which means I’m not concentrating), I can be reminded about ongoing timing when I see the wallpaper. That would help a lot.
Developer Response ,
Good suggestions, we will discuss in the meeting, thank you. IOS14 happens to have major changes here, we will think about it.
Create a rating system (ranking/more background) for these who focused for months/long period
Same as topic. Setting up a reward system of ranking (cooler “title”) or wallpapers for these “long time users” sounds could be able to add user loyalty and switching cost.
I believe it would be very motivating for these who want to focus more time and persist using this technique.
Thanks for consideration.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your comments.
We will discuss it at the meeting.
Have a beautiful day.
Excellent user interface
I’ve used another pomodoro app for a long time, but after I discovered this app, I immediately used it as my main focus tool. It’s very easy to use, beautiful user interface, and I like the background noise like classroom and library. I wonder if the developer would consider making the iPad version.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your use and comments.
We have been considering making an IPad version, but because of many changes in IOS 14, the time will be a little later.
Thank you
Best regards
