Staying on task seems is a real challenge for our screen-bound generation. The Be Focused lets you get things done by breaking up individual tasks among discrete intervals, separated by short breaks.

When I am running low on motivation I can start off with one Pomo and my brain kicks into gear after that first Pomo. This is also how I managed to finish off a PhD thesis while also a full time mom to two toddlers and wife to one husband.
Frustrating and Inconsistent
Count Bracula
I’ve been using this app for months, and while the pomodoro technique is brilliant for focus, the app often becomes more of a distraction than its worth. It frequently fails to notify when an interval is complete, and so I work through my break. Even more frustratingly, it sometimes resets my daily progress to some random value, meaning that the whole cycle is thrown off. It becomes even more inconsistent when using the iOS widget. These bugs need to be ironed out for it to be competitive with the dozens of other apps for the same technique.
Amazing App
Thabi2
Simple, easy to use with a calming aesthetic and free. What more could you ask for. It’s been keeping me focused for the past 3 years now.
I like it.

I wish it had an option to lock your phone during the study times so that you can’t use your phone during that time
