Be Focused Pro - Focus Timer App revisa

Tout y est pour appliquer la méthode Pomodoro.

depois do ultimo update o pomodoro abre e congela, em seguida fecha sozinho!

I have enjoyed using Be Focused Pro. It is simple and does its job well. However, I do wish there was a way to track when focused sessions began and ended. Right now, I can only track that I had a session on a given day but not when in the day.

I use it every day. Helps me stay focused for longer periods.

This app is very simple and straightforward to use, but at least for me, it totally works with the way my brain works to help me be literally twice as productive.

With Focus Pro, doing jobs 10-15 minutes at a time, I get way more done that I would’ve thought—and the accomplishment really helps me keep it going! I love the long breaks after X sessions, too. Great app. Go pro. You won’t regret it, I think.

I HATE doing tasks that will be tedious and take a long time. Even though the overall action of setting timers seems like it wouldn’t need an app all its own, this is an amazing tool I have used since college: for studying, doing homework, doing a lot of laundry, cleaning the house, even chopping vegetables for meal prep!

Really helpful in staying on task with assignments, especially paired with my cafe jazz music. Would highly recommend! It also helps me set goals for working.

Keeps me on track, and helps keep distractions like social media from derailing my progress.

Easy to use. Use it on my phone,laptop and desktop. Helps set a flow and tempo. It keeps track of my activity

Laser focus, tunnel vision. This helps with that.

So easy to use and sync across devices devices

Versatile app. Even though the pomodoro method doesn’t work well for me now, i still use the metronome in this app regularly, and it’s the best metronome i can find.

This app keeps you on track - focused and productive.

It keeps me engaged and focused on whatever I am working on. Great tool.

Keeps me focused and keeps me from getting overwhelmed. By breaking my crazy days into smaller pieces, I know I’m being maximally productive and what I get done - I get done. I don’t wonder if I could have done more. I’ve tried several pomodoro apps for focus and find this one to be the app I keep using. I don’t want a tomogatchi tree pet that I accidentally kill off I have an off day

This is the best pomodoro app out there but I keep getting logged out of my account on my phone and losing historical data

Pomodori!!

Get reading done this way

I had to pay twice for this, on my phone and on my computer. Even so, the synchronization fails again and again. I hate it. I had tried everything, erasing it on both and installing it again. Changing passwords. Don’t work.

It's simple, flexible, and easy to learn to use. Thanks and keep up the great work!

Syncs across my apple devices, has reports, simple, no bloat. It's perfect!

That is all.

This app helps me plan and complete tasks I would have procrastinated to complete. It's fun, simple to use and includes just enough metrics to be self-reinforcing.

It is the best app for focus and concentration.

The sync feature is amazing! I can walk away from my laptop on breaks without fear of going over the break time if I take my phone. I do wish the iPhone app had a landscape view for the timer so I could prop my phone up and have the timer easily visible. I’d also super love a large timer only mode, no other UI. Edit: Downgraded from 4 to 2 stars. I’ve run into an issue that makes the app somewhat unusable for me. I started using the auto countdown feature since I would forget to start the timer when I came back from a break. However, for some reason you can’t pause a break like you can with work time. Tapping on the countdown during work time will pause it, but tapping on the countdown when you’re on a break will just skip to the next work time interval. I honestly can’t understand the rationale behind it. It’s frustrating because I often want to finish up what I’m doing and then go for a break, so it would make sense to just pause the break. If you don’t have auto countdown on, you can just wait to start the break timer but like I said, I have an issue with remembering to start the work timer when I come back from a break. Also really really annoying that you can’t skip a work time since you can only pause or skip the entire interval, which puts you back at the start of a new work time. If I realized I forgot to start the work timer, and it’s been more than 25 minutes, i wanna time my break. Pausing and skipping should be separate functions that are always available.

This simple-but-effective helps keep me productive and on task. It keeps me organized helps me focus on what needs to be done right now.

Excellent timer to keep focused

Have used this app for years now and I love the customization. A great productivity tool.

2025 January- Sync between multiple devices logged in has gotten dramatically slower in the last couple of months. Example: sinking between iPhone and iPad takes 30+ seconds before the device devices will sync beginning of the day. 2023 September- 1) overall happy with app, use across iPad, iPhone, MacBook and Watch. 2) ongoing issue with Apple Watch connectivity to iPhone. The watch appears to connect only to the iPhone; if the timer gets out of sync, it does not update the phone when returning into range. Watch app: IF NOT CONNECTED TO IPHONE will not run as ‘master’ to the Pomo system; the iPhone continues to be the ‘master’ device, and now the users watch/phone timers are not sync’d. Nov 2022: thanks for the Lock Screen widget. Wish y’all would address Apple Watch syncing issues. Nov 2021: App works fine on iPhone. Apple Watch regularly won’t sync with the iPhone, even though the account is logged in. ^ May 2021:Still going strong. Nov 2020: 2+ year user. My primary productivity tracker. Use it on iPad, iPhone, Apple Watch and Mac, all synced to the cloud-timer. Only criticism- Apple Watch sync sometimes seems sluggish.

Be Focused Pro is my favourite app for keeping myself on track to get things done. I use 25-minute intervals to keep my attentive at the job in hand, and knowing I can take a break every 25 minute really eases the anxiety when faced with complex tasks. I've heard of the pomodoro method many times before, but it's this app that has done it for me. It times the 5-minute break too, so I don't go too long when I take breaks. It keeps me on track. The best part is the app syncs between my desktop computer and iPad so, when I go to a different room or location to finish my task, the timer stays with me. At the end of the day, I can see a chart of how many hours I worked toward each task I assigned. I can also see the progress over days and weeks, whether I've been productive or not. Great tool to put the pomodoro method into action. Highly recommended!

It always helps me so much when I use it!

App doesn’t work correctly. No matter what interval I set it defaults to the one that is currently set. I want to do five minutes but it defaults to 39 minutes.

Not sure if it’s because my IPad Pro updated to IOS 18.1 but all of a sudden I can’t get notifications,sounds or banners so the app is useless all of a sudden. My sounds are on,notifications are on and my app settings are the same as on my iPhone and Mac book using same IOS 1. Have to use my phone beside me which will go off to notify me. Even bought Be focused pro thinking that would solve the problem but nope. Please update or help because this was the best Pomodoro timer till these issues started thanks

Great for adding concentrated work intervals to my normally procrastinating day.

I don’t use all of the tracking features but the essential timer and task functions work excellently and have been helpful for time management.

I use this app but can't get the alarms to work well or for it to sync across devices well.

Not that good syncing

It is the best app for focusing on my study

It would be nice if clicking “start” from the widget starts the timer instead of taking us to the app and start the timer which is slow and sometimes it doesn’t start or most of the time it doesn’t show the countdown but if we pressed start again then it will start running and stop the timer few seconds after we exit the app. A couple of times I exited the app after seeing the timer running after the second press within the app which caused it to stop the timer and miss my countdown. Also the Lock Screen widget on iOS 18, goes blank after the countdown starts.

Great app

Love this app on Mac. Bought the iOS version to use on my iPad Pro, only to find that the Lock Screen widget functionality isn’t working. The moment I start a pomodoro, the widget stops displaying a timer of any kind. Home Screen widgets work okay but it’s a bit awkward to access while working. Would also love to see a control center toggle added, to stop/start the current pomodoro.

I find Be Focused Pro to be a very useful and practical app. It has significantly improved my productivity, and I enjoy using it daily. However, I would greatly appreciate it if the app could be made more compatible with VoiceOver, as this would enhance the experience for visually impaired users like myself. Overall, it’s a fantastic app—thank you for your work!

Great pomodoro timer. The interface / graphics are minimal but I actually quite appreciate this quality—less distractions, less “shiny things”, less novelty in other words, are vastly important and hugely under-estimated means to simply begin tasks… starting the work is, for myself, half the battle. Thus I appreciate that this app has little to no frills, while maintaining core functionality aspects to simply navigate through tasks: tagging and grouping tasks by tag is something I would find challenging to go without, so I appreciate this feature quite a lot. The fact I have been using this app for nearly all of my work—household, office, school, projects—since downloading it over a week ago is exceptionally rare for me. That alone speaks volumes. The novelty thing (“Oohh shiny!!”) is quite a crappy procrastination-distraction habitual behavior, and one which is EXCEPTIONALLY challenging to break. Yet here I am, writing this review, another rarity. Indeed, it has only been a week. However, exceptionally few productivity-oriented apps “make it” past day-2 or day-3 for me—yet this one has made it to day-7 (almost day-8!!)… that is HUGE. This is truly a nice app. Happy I gave it a try, for sure…if my “struggle” resonates at all—it may be quite helpful for you as well!

Split view for the iPad is a much needed feature. Update: Still waiting on Split View… either that or a way to control my timer on the notification panel. Like I can on my iPhone.

Often does not synch between apps and I lose work segments which is very frustrating! I’ve tried waiting for online data to come on; instead it erases what’s already been counted on another device. So I’ve just been using it on the iPad where it works very well. I find that taking the 10 minute break helps with both productivity and health!

Easy to use.

Simple way to stay on track!

Great app! I find it useful for using Pomodoro timers!

I love this app. It allows you to select daily pomodoro targets, keep track of different task categories, and even customize the length of breaks. Awesome! The only feature I wish this app had was the ability to adjust the number of pomodoro units depending on the task. For example, my pomodoro daily target for test prep might be 7, but my daily target for meditation is only 1 to 2. Currently, there doesn't seem to be a way to assign different pomodoro targets to different tasks, and pomodoro units completed in one task category will appear in all categories. But, these points don't diminish this app's value to me at all. The pomodoro method is amazing, and this app has made it so easy to get a lot more done. Thank you, BeFocused!

User friendly, useful and fun
