Pomodoro timer for focus, work, study, and flow. Boost productivity with breaks that actually recover you — steps, squats, and real rest, right from your Mac menu bar.
Pomodoro timer to focus on work, study, and flow. iPause boosts productivity by turning breaks into real recovery — no willpower needed.
iPause lives quietly in your Mac menu bar, tracking every Pomodoro session so you can stay in deep concentration and finish every task on your todo list. When it's time for a break, the classic tomato timer takes over your screen so you actually rest — not just switch tabs.
WHY THE POMODORO METHOD WORKS
The Pomodoro method is a simple productivity technique: work in a focused 25-minute interval, then take a short break. Every fourth break is a longer one. iPause automates the cycle so you don't have to watch the clock — just do the work.
FOCUS THAT STICKS
• Menu bar Pomodoro timer with live countdown
• Short and long breaks that fit your rhythm
• Randomized focus and break time (Pro) — variety keeps concentration fresh
• Working hours: iPause only runs when you're on the clock
• Idle detection: pauses the timer when you step away, resumes when you're back
• Strict Mode for zero-skip focus days when you need to stay locked in
BREAKS THAT MOVE YOU
• Break Missions turn each break into real recovery — push-ups, squats, or steps counted on your iPhone
• Photo missions: snap a quick shot of the sky or grass to prove you looked away from the screen
• Blink and posture reminders keep your eyes and back healthy through long work or study sessions
TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
• Break history for the last 90 days
• Focus streaks and daily statistics
• Screen-time totals so you always know where your time went
• Break notes — jot down thoughts between focused Pomodoro rounds
