Aro: Pomodoro Focus Timer
Calm rooms. Deeper focus.
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
FocusRooms is now Aro—a calmer, more beautiful Pomodoro ritual built around the one thing that matters.
Aro turns the Pomodoro method into a calm ritual for beginning what matters.
Choose one intention, enter a beautiful focus space, and let Aro carry the rhythm. No clutter, no pressure—just a clear place to start and an honest record of the time you gave.
FOCUS THAT FEELS DIFFERENT
• Name the one thing that matters now
• Work with a classic 25/5 Pomodoro or shape your own rhythm

BEAUTIFUL SPACES FOR REAL WORK
