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

Best pomodoro app so far...

...and I've tried a few! It just happens to have everything I need, no compromises - sessions can be paused/resumed, it even nods me if I got distracted for too long. I can start a break first which helps me to fall back into focus-mode. Pro is pricey, but the free version is totally fine. Also, the dev is really responsive :)

Thank you! Hope you enjoyed it :)

Nice app, but a bit pricy

I really like functionality of this app, and how it helps me focus beter/take breaks. I love that in free verison it is really functional and doesn't ask me to buy a subscription evry time I use it.

The main problem with subscription cost is that it is to high for polish students. I know it's like one coffee per month, but when you sum it up to 200zł per year thats, a lot of money for not essential features.

Fantastyczny

I like the web blocking so much . And the reminder to write what did I achieve during the session is a great feedback. App is great, the sync is superb. I have it on my Mac and I have instant reminders on both devices!

Thanks Jakub!
