Pomodoro Study Timer
Pomodoro Study Timer
Ready to study? Tomato's got its book open.
Free study timer for iPhone and iPad. No account, ads, subscription or in-app purchases. Core features work offline.
A quiet Pomodoro rhythm
Focus for 25 minutes, rest for 5, and take a 15-minute long break after four completed sessions. Durations can be adjusted. Each next phase starts only when you confirm. No reminders or reward popups interrupt a focus session.
Screen locking and reminders
The timer continues when you lock the screen or switch apps. Turn on End-of-phase reminders in Settings and grant notification permission for local alerts. Sound and delivery follow iOS notification, silent mode and Focus settings. A local Live Activity card is optional and off by default; task names are hidden by default.
Growing your garden
Every 25 minutes of saved focus grows one ripe tomato. Pauses and breaks do not count. Time from sessions ended early still counts. Complete a full focus session to unlock a buddy; interrupted sessions do not make plants wither.
Backup and restore
Settings can export the saved study log as CSV or a full JSON backup. JSON includes saved records, settings and buddy choice, but not an active timer. Restore validates and merges by record ID, skips duplicates and keeps existing records. Finish the current timer before restoring. Save backups outside the app before deleting it. Backups are not password-protected or encrypted by Pomodoro Study Timer.
Languages
The interface supports English, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. It follows the application language chosen in iOS Settings. User-entered task names retain their original text.
