I really like flocus but I have studied using all the free themes so does anyone has flocus plus cracked or apk which allows all the premium features (I want that cackling fire)

If you use an app, why do you use it?

Ever wondered how much time you actually spend on different sites? Deep Work Zone makes it super easy to find out!

This friendly Chrome extension runs quietly in the background and lets you see:

- How much time you’re spending on each site daily

- Your most visited websites

- A daily overview of your online habits

- Which sites might be sneaking away your productive hours 😅

It’s a simple way to get a handle on your online time!

I’ve tried a few times doing pomodoro method and the 25 minutes task period is good for me. More than that and I will lose focus. The bigger problems I have is first just starting the task and then the break which just allows me to completely lose focus again and I can’t start the next task. I manage just one task for the day. Any suggestions? Maybe this is not for me?

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a little win I’ve had recently with the Pomodoro technique. I’m a freelance developer, and for a long time, I just couldn’t stick to it. I’d start the timer, but then get distracted by emails, or something else would pop up, and I’d lose track of time. By the end of the day, I’d feel like I barely accomplished anything.

A few weeks ago, I decided to give it another go. The big change I made was planning my day ahead. Instead of just starting a timer and hoping for the best, I started adding specific tasks for each Pomodoro session. I’d say, “Okay, 25 minutes for coding this feature, then 5 minutes to check my email.” Breaking it down like that made it feel more doable.

Also, I started using Hyperdone, just as a way to keep my day organized. It has a Pomodoro timer built in, but what helped the most was being able to schedule my tasks for each session. So now, when I start a Pomodoro, I know exactly what I need to do.

It really helped me focus, and for the first time, I made it through an entire day without feeling like I was jumping from one thing to the next.

Anyone else struggle to stick with Pomodoro? What made it work for you?

I'm an online degree student who is new to Pomodoro. I've been experimenting with 25-5 sessions so far (with no big breaks, only 5 minute breaks), but I've also researched that I should stop after 4 or 5 hours due to no longer being at peak productivity. How long of a break would I have to take to regain those max productivity levels? 1 hour? Seems like that would be a good amount of time to hit the gym (which I've heard is good for building energy level). What are y'all thoughts?

Hi! I'd like a pomodoro app on my android tablet that either shows as a widget over my note taking app or goes off alike the integrated timer. The ones I've tried shows up as a notification, and since I'm using the do not disturb mode I easily miss that the time is out.

The Focusaur Pomodoro Timer widget fits right into your favorite digital notebooks like Notion, keeping your tasks on track. Switch between light and dark mode anytime to match your vibe!

Hey, so I just wanted to ask anybody if they wanted to do a study live stream collab together? I think it'd be nice to have someone to study along with while also talk to during breaks. If you are interested, shoot me a DM!

Here is my channel for reference: https://youtube.com/@dooddongding?feature=shared

This might be a bit extreme, but if you can't keep from grabbing your phone during your pomodoro sessions, it might be for you. I found this lockbox with a timer that lets you lock your phone inside for a certain amount of time. Here's a video about it.

I'm normally a great online shopper when it comes to putting in the time to find exactly what I want. But for the life of me, I can't find a classy, rechargeable pomodoro timer that I'd be happy to display on my desk.

I prefer that minimalist, functional type that resembles a Nest thermostat. Pretty much every variant I can find online is powered by AA or AAA batteries - but at this point, I refuse to buy gadgets that aren't rechargeable via USB-C.

In an ideal world, I'd love something premium, metal, and black to match the rest of my desk aesthetic. I know it's just a simple timer, and most folks don't have a reason to drop a bunch of money on one, but I'm willing to pay a decent amount for something that will be featured prominently on my desk.

Can anyone turn up any leads or recommendations?

As an inefficient workaholic, I'm trying to find time management systems that could help with my work flow. I like the idea of 25 minutes to focus, and 5 minutes to rest in between. But I've been having a hard time filling in the 5 minutes with an actual break. I still spend the time working! How do you rest?

Hello everyone!

I'd like to share with you Flowkeeper -- a Pomodoro timer with a "classic" cross-platform UI paradigm (desktop-first, no Electron), which is designed to be powerful, simple, yet look nice.

I implemented the first version of Flowkeeper around 2010. Back then it got some positive reviews and even got packaged for Slackware Linux =) In 2023 I decided to revive the project and rewrite it from scratch, this time based on a new robust internal design, which would simplify adding new features, such as:

• Backlog management and full-text search,
• Flowkeeper stays close to the original Pomodoro Technique by Francesco Cirillo. For example, it follows "all-or-nothing" approach to pomodoros, and mandates having rest after every working interval,
• New backlogs can be created from the previous unfinished ones with a single keystroke,
• Apple Health-like statistics for your Pomodoro Technique,
• Ability to export the summary of your work, grouped by weeks and days -- useful for creating time sheets and reviewing your progress week over week,
• The timer can either hide in system tray or display as a nice small window,
• Configurable audio, including playing an MP3 during your resting intervals (this helps to put work aside and mentally prepare for next pomodoro),
• Configurable keyboard shortcuts for all UI actions,
• Configurable UI theme, fonts and colors,
• Windows installer doesn't require admin rights. Also, there are portable executables for all supported operating systems, which do not require installation,
• Flowkeeper only goes online to check for updates. It keeps your data stored locally.

Flowkeeper is Free and open source -- there is neither a paid version, nor paid features.

I worked for about a year to bring Flowkeeper to the current "stable" state, build it and test on various Windows, macOS and Linux environments. I've just decided that I need more time before I enable online data sync, so the current version only works locally / offline. Still, I consider it ready for personal use, and would love to get your early feedback and constructive criticism.

Thanks!

Hi all, I’m sorry if this is not the forum to ask this question on but I’ve been using Pomofocus for a 1-2 years now and recently I’ve noticed that the timer randomly stops at a random time when I’m looking at another tab. Is there anyway to fix this or is my laptop potentially the problem. I really don’t want to change apps but will if I must to fix the problem

Flow Petals is a productivity timer app that I’ve been developing for myself over the past 4 years, and now I’m excited to share it with others! It works directly in the browser and includes task management features and statistics. Everything is stored locally — no cloud, no registration required.

You can try it out here: https://flowpetals.app/

I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

Hi guys, I'm looking for a pomodoro website that I can use without downloading an app or extension. I would also prefer if it had statistics, but I don't need a lot, just the lifetime history is enough. Do you have any recommendations?

So I downloaded this app StepBloc. It let's you earn your screen time by completing focus timers. It has been very effective for me and improved my productivity a lot!

Just had a fleeting thought about a being able to view others' deep focus sessions and sending them 'thumbs up'. This could be a good source of motivation especially if the group consists of close friends or people you respect.

Hey everyone,

Here are a few productivity tips that have worked wonders for me.

1. Time Blocking: Divide your day into specific time blocks for different tasks. This helps you stay focused and prevents multitasking.

2. Eat the Frog: Tackle your most challenging task first thing in the morning. Once you've conquered it, the rest of your day will feel like a breeze.

3. Digital Planner: Ditch the paper planner and switch to a digital one. Apps like GoodNotes or Notability allow you to customize your workspace and easily access your tasks from anywhere.

4. Mindfulness and Meditation: Taking a few minutes each day for mindfulness or meditation can help reduce stress and improve focus.

5. Limit Distractions: Turn off notifications on your phone, find a quiet workspace, and avoid browsing social media during work hours.

What are your favourite productivity tips?

I’m looking for Forest app alternative that:

• it’s compatible with Apple Shortcuts,
• can do stopwatch and countdown, preferably without certain restrictions on amount of time but that’s not game-changer for me,
• can block apps, preferably with different list but again that’s not game-changer,
• has decent statistics

Any recommendations?
