Focus Timer Widget for iPhone
Keep every pomodoro on schedule with a focus timer widget that sits on the iPhone home screen and counts down in real time. The format balances aesthetics and utility for users who crave visual structure without sacrificing performance.
Keep your pomodoro on the lock and home screens with a vibrant countdown widget.
Why It’s Fun and Who It Helps
Deep-work junkies, college students, and accountability partners love the instant feedback of a timer that lives outside the app grid. The widget flashes tint modes to signal work versus break intervals, syncs with Shortcuts to start sessions automatically, and shows streak data so you see how many focused blocks you finished this week. It prevents context switching because the countdown, task title, and finish line are always in view.
Remote teams keep it next to shared calendars for meeting prep, freelancers pin it beside revenue goals, and creatives pair it with inspiration notes to stay energized. Add a hydration widget or breathing exercise beneath the timer, and you have a balanced stack that keeps both mind and body on pace.
