Review summary

Users broadly praise Pomo Up as a well-designed, effective focus timer that tracks time and stats and supports widgets for quick access. Many find it helpful for study and productivity, and appreciate the live activity widget features. Recurrent issues center on promised home-screen widgets that aren’t available and unclear setup, plus a strong demand for editing capabilities (entries, times, and tags) and manual time adjustments. A few also want Apple Watch support. Overall, they see solid value and smooth UX, with opportunities to improve via better widget support and editing options across devices.

Pros

Effective focus timer with time tracking and useful stats.
Well-designed, thoughtful UI/UX.
Widget and live activity integration for quick access and control.
Posture tracking/reminders provide health-oriented value.
Helpful for study and collaboration, aiding focus.

Cons

Promised home-screen widgets are not available or unclear how to enable; Pro version benefits not delivered as expected.
No editing of entries, times, or categories (and no manual time adjustment).
No Apple Watch support.
Timer keeps ticking or notification behavior is awkward when muted or silenced.

A very good app
2026-01-13	Ch*****	I just paid for the Pro Version specifically so I could add the Widgets pictured in the description to the Home Screen on my MacBook, but I don’t see any option to do that. The app itself works fine, but I was really hoping for those widgets and would not have purchased Pro if I knew I couldn’t get them.

2025-09-20	Sk*****	Thank you to the Dev do listening to the users! Users now have the ability to edit most details after recording a focus session! This was a crucial feature that had previously made the app unusable for me. Now, not only can the user update the start and stop times, but also the amount of “focus” within that time block. This is a great feature for helping to understand how much you have been pulled away during your session (can also be controlled by a pause button in live activity widget). To be honest, there are a lot of other really fantastic features as well. So why not 5 stars? I still think there is a small fundamental issue. Tags are used to create the categories for how the users focus sessions are sorted. This is not a problem in itself, but once created there is no way to edit the name or change the color or the tag/category. Being that this is a fundamental building block of the application there should be some sort of editing available. Once this is implemented, the app will be darn near perfect. ————————— 1st Update Below: Without the ability to edit entries AT ALL. I’ve found that I’ve needed to more on. I want to use Pomo Up! I just can’t. These types of tools are ment to help, not cause friction and/or frustration. Unfortunately, after using it for a bit I’ve realized that I’m not perfect (no surprise there), but without the ability to edit this app requires you to be perfect with your logging. For me, that’s a nonstarter anymore. Pomo Up Team: PLEASE add the ability to edit entries. The utility of this tool will skyrocket in my opinion. ————————— Original Review Below: As a Pomodoro timer, it works really well, great in fact! But this also has a stopwatch feature that I use even more and it tracks time and stats really well. You can start it, do your work, and then pause it and/or stop it when done. For my brain this works so much better than a Pomodoro most of the time. What doesn't work great for my brain is remembering to stop and or start it back up all the time. Unfortunately, there's no way to manually adjust these times. If there was this app would be darn near perfect! Please add this feature!

2025-08-05	Th*****	It actually helped me focus on my studies and the collaboration with my friends was nice although we weren’t together we still got work done. If you are looking for an app that really helps you focus this is the one.
