Focus Tomato 2: Pomodoro Timer3.2.3 - App Store

A retro Pomodoro timer that does not push too hard.
No tasks, no achievements, no leaderboards. Just something to help you get through one 25-minute session at a time.

The original Focus Tomato earned a 4.9 / 5.0 rating, 27,000+ reviews worldwide, and multiple Apple editorial features.
Focus Tomato 2 keeps the same spirit, now with focus tags, iCloud sync, and richer stats.

Focus Tomato 2 is made to help you stay focused without feeling trapped.
It helps you face the real work, keep going longer, and still leave room to breathe.
Finish things gracefully, close the tomato, and enjoy your actual time off.

Q: You study for hours, but still feel like you are falling behind?
A: Break time into 25-minute sessions, sit down, and ease yourself into focus.

The Pomodoro method is simple: reduce distractions, lower procrastination, and make it easier to start and keep going.

Q: You work hard for a few days, then lose momentum?
A: Use a rhythm of 25 minutes of focus and 5 minutes of rest, so you do not burn yourself out all at once.

Focus is not about forcing yourself to the end. Rest well, and you can go further.

Q: You want to learn something outside school or work, but cannot keep it going?
A: Focus Tomato helps you set aside dedicated time for long-term goals, then track them clearly with tags.

Use tags like “content creation,” “design study,” or “exam prep” to track courses, video editing, reading plans, and more.
One or two tomatoes a day can help long-term goals slowly add up, instead of being swallowed by small daily chores.

Core features:

1. No forced stop, so your flow can continue
Many Pomodoro timers push you to stop when time is up. Focus Tomato only reminds you that time is up, without forcing you out of flow.

2. Editable timeline, with manual entries and adjustments
Forgot to stop the timer? No problem. You can add or edit records manually, so your history stays closer to reality.

3. Start a break anytime, and take another if needed
Rest is not just an add-on after focus. Accidentally worked through your 5-minute break? Take another one right away. Choose a short or long break whenever you need it.

4. Break overtime is tracked too, for better pacing
If your break runs longer than planned, Focus Tomato keeps timing and records it. Rest is not blank space. It becomes part of your real rhythm.

5. Custom tags, paired with stats review
Add tags to each focus session, such as “study,” “side project,” or “creation,” so you can see where your time goes and review your long-term progress in stats.

6. iCloud sync, so your records follow your devices
Sign in with the same Apple ID and enable iCloud to sync focus records between iPhone and iPad.

7. Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, and Home Screen widgets
No need to unlock or open the app. Glance to see how much time is left, and check today’s tomato count right from your Home Screen.

Real reviews from the Focus Tomato series
The original app has earned a 4.9 / 5.0 rating and 27,000+ reviews worldwide. Thank you for all your support!

“Gorgeous Pomodoro app!”
I’ve used a few Pomodoro apps, and most are too serious or too formal. This one has a sense of humor, and the tomato face is priceless.
- Camilo Rodríguez Gaviria

“I have ADHD, and this app became my favorite!”
I love the images, sounds, and background noise. It is also simple, so I do not get overwhelmed by too many features.
- SkyBlueFireDragon14

“Best Pomodoro timer”
The interface is simple, beautiful, and has no ads. Background ambience can play in the background, and the overall experience is great value.
- Me291537911

“Super cute”
The art style is so fun, and the “someone behind you” mode made me laugh. Highly recommended.

Thanks for growing with us. Enjoy FocusTomato 2 on iOS 26! 3.0 Jun 2 First, an apology

The "iCloud Sync" status display in earlier versions had a serious bug — it wasn't actually reading the system's CloudKit state, so even when sync had failed, the UI could still appear normal. This caused some users to lose data silently without ever knowing, and we're truly sorry for the trust this broke.

This update is a complete rebuild of iCloud sync:

Real sync status
- Reads CloudKit events directly from the system — what you see is what's actually happening
- Shows Uploading / Downloading / Success / Failed, plus last sync time
- On failure, the system's actual error message is shown

Better self-diagnosis
- New "Data not syncing?" help page based on Apple's official guidance, with common causes and check steps
- One tap to jump to iOS iCloud settings when sync fails
- Sync status is automatically included when you email support, so we can help faster

Now visible to everyone
- The sync status was previously visible only to Tomato King users — it's now visible to all. Sync itself was always working for everyone; hiding the status didn't make sense.

Also fixed the alert sound

The "Enable Alert Sound" default was inconsistent across views — some screens had it off, leading new users to think the timer had no sound. The default is now always on (existing users' preferences are unchanged).

- New "No sound when timer ends?" help page (Settings → Sound Settings)
- Explains how the alert behaves differently in foreground vs. background
- Lists common causes of "no sound" (device volume, Do Not Disturb, notification permissions, etc.)

Thanks to everyone who patiently reported this 2.4 May 21 This update brings the most-requested feature ever: Pause!

What's New
- Pause / Resume: Pause focus or break sessions anytime, then pick up right where you left off
- Stats overhaul: Brand new Apple Health-style charts. Tap any bar to see detailed time
- One-tap "Focus Again" after a break - jump straight into the next pomodoro

Polish
- Smoother fade-in / fade-out for ambient sounds
- Music now fades out gracefully when the timer ends, no more hard cut
- Accidental short sessions (under 30 seconds) are no longer saved
- Tweaks to UI text and buttons

Fixes
- Fixed occasional Live Activity crash
- Fixed text display issues on some screens 2.3 May 15 What’s New

• Notes Feature
Added a notes field so you can jot down thoughts or task details during a focus session or when editing a record, making your focus log more complete.

• Widget and Live Activity Text Display Optimization
Fixed an issue where text might overflow in Widgets and Live Activities when using large system fonts. The layout now adapts correctly even with Accessibility large-text settings enabled.

• Fixed incorrect translation of break duration options
Break duration options (5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc.) now display correctly in the corresponding language. 2.0.2 10/16/2025 This update fixes the following issues:

Background alert sound
Previously, when the app was running in the background, the completion alert always played the default tomato sound.
It has now been fixed to play the sound you selected in Settings (Tomato, Ding, or Birds).

More accurate statistics
Fixed an issue where focus time shorter than 1 hour was displayed as 0 on the chart.
Now even a single 25-minute session will correctly appear as 0.4 hours. 2.0.1 10/14/2025 ・Added Live Activity — view your focus progress on the Dynamic Island and Lock Screen
