\n\nStep 4: Repeat 4 times, then take a more extended rest for 15 to 30 minutes\nRepeat the previous two steps for 4 times, and take a 15 to 30 minutes long rest\n\n\n\n—— After taking it, you can gain the following benefits on top of straight As ——
\n* Prevent distracting and stay focused more easily: counting down timer brings good stress\n* Reduce interruptions: postpone other tasks; most things can wait for 25 minutes\n* Avoid procrastinating: when the timer is running, it means the declaration of a focused time frame\n* Endure longer: with adequate rest, you can run further
\n\n\n\n—— Features of “Focus Tomato” ——\n\nBased on the Pomodoro method with new spice-ups and improvements.\n\n* Do not force stop; keep the flow\nClassical Promodoro clock asks you to stop working asap when time is up; Focus Tomato only notifies you with sound and does not force you to stop. You can keep staying in the zone and running the timer.\n\n* Fractional time is allowed\nClassical Promodoro clock requires to maintain 25 minutes duration. Focus Tomato freely lets you count the fractional time as long as it starts running.\n\n* Modifiable Timeline\nIt is usual to forget to stop the timer. Focus Tomato allows you to modify the Timeline and make adjustments afterward.\n\n* Do Not Disturb mode is available\nDistracted by too many notifications? Do Not Disturb mode can be enabled when Focus Tomato is running.\n\n* Integrate smoothly with other work methods and/or apps\nBecause the app only applies the timing part of the Promodoro technique, in addition to the original Promodoro method, you can also use the Reminder, Trello, or physical notebooks along with it.\n\n\n\nGood tomato, why not eat it?","facts":{"developer_id":1470906398,"developer_url":"https://claushuang.com/focusTomato/en/","first_released":"2019-09-03T07:00:00Z","support_url":"https://claushuang.com/focusTomato/en/qa.php","privacy_url":"https://www.privacypolicies.com/privacy/view/b183315fec9c211fe0dbb97eee8eab62/","website_url":"https://claushuang.com/focusTomato/en/","app_version":"6.1.3","release_notes":"• Weekly and monthly calendars now show each day's focus time at a glance.\n• Brought back four App Icon choices: Top Hat, Lady Focus, Lazy Tomato, and Flat Tomato.\n• Refined focus-completion notifications for a more natural tone.\n• Added a Tomato Daily entry in Settings, offering another way to separate study, work, and life with focus tags and keep them synced through iCloud.","rating_current_version":4.89233,"rating_count_current_version":1681,"star_counts":[10,7,16,88,1559],"genres":["Productivity"],"languages":["EN","ZH","ZH"],"content_advisories":["Infrequent/Mild Cartoon or Fantasy Violence"],"device_families":["iphone","ipad"],"made_for_iphone_duo":false,"chart":null},"freshness":{"apple_read_at":"2026-11-13T08:56:12.510Z","catalog_read_at":"2026-10-22T19:17:29.790Z","reviews_checked_at":"2026-10-12T04:48:54.434Z","summary_written_at":"2026-09-28T06:30:06.833Z","placed_at":"2026-09-06T00:00:00.000Z","scored_at":"2026-11-14T16:39:12.758Z"},"editorial":{"one_liner":"A focus timer based on the Pomodoro method, with adjustable timing and optional Do Not Disturb mode.","what_is":"Focus Tomato is a productivity app based on the Pomodoro method.
