A Pomodoro-style focus timer built for Apple Watch. Silo Focus is designed first and foremost for Apple Watch. Instead of alarms and interruptions, gentle haptics on your wrist guide you through focus and break cycles—quietly, discreetly, and without pulling you out of the moment. Perfect for libraries, offices, meetings, or anywhere sound would be intrusive. WHY SILO ON APPLE WATCH? The hardest part of focusing is getting started. With Silo, a simple tap on the wrist tells you when to focus, when to take a break, and when to return. No buzzing phone. No noisy alerts. Just calm, intentional, silent cues. FOCUS–BREAK (POMODORO) METHOD Work in 25-minute focus sessions with 5-minute breaks in between. Structured breaks between periods of focus improve productivity and reduce mental fatigue. Having this flow on your wrist makes it effortless to stick with. HOW IT WORKS (WATCH OR IPHONE) 1. List your top tasks for the day 2. Tap FOCUS on your Apple Watch (or iPhone) 3. Haptic taps tell you when to break—and when to return 4. Repeat and stay in the zone FEATURES • Built specifically for Apple Watch • Discreet haptic focus & break alerts • Auto-pause between focus and break cycles • Adjust timer intervals directly on your watch • Distraction-free use (works great in Airplane Mode) • Pause and resume sessions anytime UPGRADE TO SILO PRO (ONE-TIME PURCHASE) • Apple Watch Complications • Plan your day with To-Dos & Reminders • Add tasks to focus sessions • Mark tasks as done • Save custom timer presets • Track daily & weekly focus stats • iCloud backup for tasks and stats “To add something to your daily life without intrusion or complication—that’s what the Apple Watch is about, and this app does a great job of that.” — Apple WatchCast Podcast Support: support@silofocus.com Terms: https://silofocus.com/terms Privacy: https://silofocus.com/privacy

One the better pomodoro apps when it works

So far, I really like this app. The look and functionality is great. But I find that I’m not getting notifications at the end of sessions. Often, I’ll go to check how much time is left in a session only to find that it ended a while ago and I wasn’t notified. :(

- the way the subscription is present is a turn off. Find a way that is less frustrating to new users. I spent 5 minutes trying to figure out the features only to realize they can’t be interacted with at all. I thought the app was broken.- add a numerical timer. I like the aesthetic, but I also like to know the exact time left.- sync the Apple Watch and iPhone app. I set a timer on one, the timer should be going on the other. That’s the deal breaker for me, personally. Giving five stars because previous reviews are unfair and this app is one of the better pomodoro apps I’ve tried, just dragged down by its subscription presentation and the lack of a numerical display. It’s been more than a year so an update is unlikely, but I hope you consider the above if you do update it.

Hi, the early bird offer is still on as of today! Not sure why you were seeing $1.99–should be $0.99 in the U.S. Pricing will vary depending on your country. Please email support@silofocus.com and we’ll make it right.

Waste of a dollar

I purchased this app for a dollar, and as soon as i opened it, it wouldn't let me do anything taskwise unless i pay for a monthly subscription! Plus, the pomodoro timer does not show you the current time (not even sure if its working), and if you pause the timer, you're not sure if you're actually pausing or resetting the timer. Very Frustrating!

Developer Response
Sorry for your bad experience. It should say “paused” when the session is paused. I’ll do my best to make the experience better. Also will be happy to send a refund for your dissatisfaction.
