Focus

Pick one task and start a big visual countdown. Add rain or waves if you like.

02

Short rest

Breathe between rounds and tell Nomodoro how you feel. Your companion rests too.

03

Repeat

After a few rounds take a long break, earn gems and unlock new friends.

Soft on the outside, serious about focus

Everything you need to begin — and quiet depth when you’re ready for more.

A countdown you can feel

A big ring, a calm timer and a companion that dozes while you work. Countdown or count-up, with short and long rests built in.

  • Strict ends the session if you leave for more than 10 seconds
  • Whitelist blocks every app except the ones you allow
  • Loose lets you roam — all three modes are free

Distracting apps lock at the times you set

Set your daily windows and pick the apps that pull you away. They stay locked — even when Nomodoro is closed. Finish a focus session and they open for exactly your break, then lock again.

  • Free: one window every day, up to 3 apps
  • Pro: up to 5 windows on the days you choose, any apps and whole categories
  • Built on Apple’s Screen Time — your choices never leave your iPhone

Quitting takes a 3-second hold

No more one-tap escapes. Hold End and your buddy and slimes get sadder each second… let go and they cheer. A tiny pause that saves a lot of sessions.

Slime editor: drag the dots, pick a face and a color
Make your own slime

Stretch it. Color it. It’s yours.

Drag the dots to shape your slime, then pick a color, a face and a pattern. It joins your squad and bounces around the timer while you focus.

Tired mood: the slimes melt into puddles
Mood check-in

Your squad feels it too

Tell Nomodoro how you feel. Tired, and your slimes melt into puddles. Excited, and they bounce. Your companion even suggests a shorter focus on heavy days.

FAQ

Quick answers

Is focus really free forever?

Yes. Unlimited focus sessions, every focus mode (Strict, Loose, Whitelist), one Focus hours window, full history and charts, backup, mood check-in and one custom slime stay free. Pro adds more Focus hours, a squad of up to 3 slimes, more sounds, custom breaks & rounds and exclusive friends. Other companions still need gems from focus.

What are Focus hours?

Set daily time windows and pick the apps that distract you. During a window those apps stay locked, even when Nomodoro is closed. Finish a focus session and they open for exactly your break, then lock again. Free: one window every day, up to 3 apps. Pro: up to 5 windows on the days you choose, any number of apps and whole categories. It uses Apple’s Screen Time API, and your choices never leave your iPhone.

Can Nomodoro block apps while I study or work?

Yes, in two ways, both built on Apple’s Screen Time. Whitelist mode shields every app except the ones you allow while a focus session runs. Focus hours lock the apps you pick at the times you set every day, and open them only for the break after a finished session. Both are in the free version.

How is Nomodoro different from Forest?

Both give you a cute reason to stay off your phone. In Forest a tree grows while you focus. In Nomodoro a little buddy and your slime squad keep you company, cheer when you finish, get sad if you give up (quitting takes a 3-second hold) and react to your mood. Nomodoro can also lock distracting apps with Apple’s Screen Time, during a session or at set hours. Unlimited focus and every focus mode are free.

How does Whitelist mode block apps?

It uses Apple’s Screen Time API. You pick up to 10 apps that stay allowed; every other app is shielded only while a focus session runs, and released when it ends. Your app choices never leave your iPhone.

Can I quit a session early?

Yes — hold End for 3 seconds. Your buddy gets a little sad while you hold, and cheers if you let go. A count-up session just asks to save.

What are Friends and gems?

Complete focus sessions to earn gems, then claim doodle companions. Pro unlocks five exclusives (bubble tea, donut, puppy, capybara, apple) without gems — everyone else still needs enough gems to claim.

Which Pro plan should I pick?

Try Monthly if you want flexibility. Yearly is the best value (~58% less than paying month-to-month) and starts with a 7-day free trial — we remind you 2 days before it ends. Lifetime is one payment if you know you’ll stay.
