Trusted daily by tens of thousands of engineer in Silicon Valley, independent studios in Madrid, writers in Netherlands, and creative worker + freelancer all over the world.
It helps you be more productive by guiding you to work in sessions, block distractions, track your time, and remind you to rest.
GET INTO HABIT OF WORKING IN TIME BLOCK
Inspired by Pomodoro technique, Session helps you block your time for focus. 25 minutes or 45 minutes is all you need to get closer to your goal
KEEP YOUR FOCUS BY BLOCKING WEBSITES AND APPS THAT DISTRACT YOU (MAC ONLY)
Session block distracting website and apps when you started a Session. It'll automatically restore your website when you are on rest / session has ended.
BLOCK SLACK TEAM
Session will automatically mute Slack team you choose when Session has started and open them up again when Session has stopped working.
DON'T FORGET TO TAKE A REST
Forcing yourself to work on long period of time is ineffective. Rest is as important as work / study. Why? Because rest is a crucial time where you:
- store what you have learned in your head, and where
- your brain solve difficult problem on the background.
Notice that you usually get a new idea and solves problem when you're on walk and shower. Or anywhere where you're away from "work".
AUTOMATE YOUR WORKFLOW (AUTOMATIC DO NOT DISTURB, PLAY MUSIC)
Imagine having no distracting notifications while working on. It's possible by turning on Do Not Disturb. What if you can turn it on when you started your Session, and disable it after Session ends—all automatically? Or maybe change bulb color, play Apple music when Session has started? Different playlist on break? It's possible with Session.
Automate it with AppleScript on MacOS and Apple Shortcut on iOS

REVIEW YOUR SESSIONS
Are you spending more time on a task than it's worth? Session keep you mindful by tracking your work and ask what you have learned after Session has ended.
Session tracks what you have worked on, what have you learned, and for how long. Review your progress and journey that you have made.

The best and easiest to use timer. Flexible, a couple clicks to set, and screen stays on. It’s just what I wanted an app that makes easy to focus
Good app, needs improvements

With this app, you can track how much time you work and use a timer and pomodoro technique. Your work can be divided in different categories. The problem is that the categories can only be associated with one "session". So if you plan to work 10 minutes on Category A, and 15 minutes on Category B.. if you also want to track the time, you have to stop after the 10 minutes Category A session before you start the Category B session. Now the issue is that you plan to work for 25 minutes before a break. If you set up a goal of working 8 pomodoros per day, the 10 first minute on Category A will be counted as one pomodoro.
Developer Response
I'm going to remove pomodoro count soon—it's a bad way to see how productive you are. Total time (with distraction count) is a much better benchmark 😊
This is the most effective focus timer I have ever used.

Engineering students have busy lives, juggling many responsibilities. I've tried a few focus timer apps, but this one is the best.The level of detail is truly impressive. The app offers excellent default settings, and you can also customize it to your exact preferences.Setting it up was easy, thanks to the excellent default settings. I only enabled the automatic minimization feature for focused sessions. The app will reappear back up when the session ends. The attention to detail is impressive. The developers thoughtfully designed the app to avoid appearing in ALT-TAB. This ensures the app won't interrupt your workflow during focused work periods. This app lets you take session notes, sort sessions based on categories, and provides excellent summaries of your time usage. Advanced features include AppleScripts for experienced users, customizable keyboard shortcuts. These are just a few of its many capabilities.There are many apps that are not on the same standards as `Session` but also cost a lot more. This app truly deserves every penny. It is a blessing that I have come across and be able to use this application.
Den beste

Jeg har vel I løpet av de siste 15 årene prøvd det meste av det som finnes av pomodoro-apper for iPhone og Mac. Denne er i særklasse den beste.
