Focusoro

Put your phone down and get to work. It turns into a timer that defends itself against being picked up and keeps an eye on your breaks.

Focusoro is a next gen pomodoro timer. An ordinary timer counts minutes and trusts you to hold out. This one keeps the phone on the desk and records every impulse you resisted — so it ends up knowing more about your focus than you do.

HOW IT WORKS

Set the session length on the dial and put the phone down. Once it lies still, the countdown starts on its own — you don't even touch the screen. The display dims so it stops tempting you.

Reach for it mid-session? The screen brightens and vibrates, reminding you to get back to work. You get a few seconds to put it down again. Leaving the app ends the session — no free passes.

An incoming call doesn't ruin anything: the session is suspended and resumes once the phone is back on the desk.

BREAKS WITHOUT GUILT

After a finished session, the break is yours in full. Do whatever you like, even outside the app — we'll remind you when it's time to come back. The countdown shows on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so you never have to check how much is left.

STATS THAT CHANGE SOMETHING

Focusoro doesn't just count minutes. It shows your self-control index, how many times per hour of focus you reach for the phone, and how fast you put it back down after the alarm. A histogram reveals the minute at which your attention usually starts to slip.

Add to that three breakdowns from the last 30 days: what exactly ends your sessions, whether you do better with the phone face down, and which session lengths you actually finish.

A separate chart tracks, week by week, how long the sessions you finish have become — with the suggested length marked, so you can see at a glance whether you are growing.

A SESSION LENGTH THAT FITS YOU

After a week of use, the app suggests a session length worked out from your own history — not from someone else's theory. It weighs not only how often you finish, but how many minutes of focus you truly deliver, and it treats short lucky streaks with suspicion. The suggestion appears as a green dot on the ring and as its own button.

DAILY GOAL AND RHYTHM

Set a daily focus goal and the ring around the Start button fills as you work. Close it and you get fireworks. The app also tracks your cycle of sessions and breaks, so before you start you know whether a short or a long break comes next.

APPLE WATCH

On your wrist you see the session and break countdown plus the number of impulses you resisted. The phone stays on the desk.

PRIVACY

All your data stays on your phone. Nothing is sent to a server, there are no accounts, no ads and no tracking.

PRICING

The yearly subscription starts with seven days free — you are charged only after that, and you can cancel anytime in your Apple account settings. Prefer to pay once? There is a lifetime purchase that never renews.

Detecting when you pick up the phone requires access to motion data.
