Hey friends,
I’m super excited to share something with you: FocusKit, my brand-new native iOS Pomodoro timer app is officially live on the App Store today.
It would mean the world to me, if you would give it a download and maybe even a rating/review on the App Store!
FocusKit is my attempt at building the cleanest, most elegant, and most calming focus timer you’ve ever used. No noise. No clutter. Just a beautiful flow that helps you stay on track.
Here’s what makes FocusKit special:
Smart Focus Sessions
Use the Pomodoro technique with customizable focus & break durations. The UI stays simple and fluid, designed to get out of your way. You’re able to add notes to a session, assign a category and seamlessly adjust timer durations.
Beautiful Insights & Statistics
Your productivity visualized with clean charts that help you understand when and how you work best. Track your productivity across week, month, year, or all time, with detailed metrics including total focus time, session counts, and daily averages. Filter by category to see where you spend your time, visualize trends with interactive bar charts, and monitor your consistency with streak tracking.
🔔 Alarms & Notifications
Get alerted exactly when a session or break ends, even if the app is closed. Unlike traditional notifications, alarms powered by AlarmKit work even when your device is in Silent or Focus mode, ensuring your focus sessions end on time. They integrate with the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, showing countdown timers and controls without opening the app. You can pause and resume alarms directly from these system surfaces, and full-screen alerts appear when sessions complete
🔴 Live Activities
Track your session right on the Lock Screen or Dynamic Island without losing your flow. Directly control your session from anywhere on your iPhone.
🏷 Categories
Tag your sessions by task, project, or purpose. Over time, you’ll see where your focus hours actually go. Create custom categories with names and icons to tag sessions like Work, Study, Creative, Health, or any custom label. Categories enable deeper insights: filter analytics by category to see where you spend time.
☁️ iCloud Sync
Your sessions and categories sync across all your devices — private, secure, and automatic.
This is my first fully native SwiftUI + iCloud-powered app, and honestly… it feels so good to finally ship it. After building HabitKit with Flutter for years, I wanted to embrace everything iOS has to offer: Live Activities, Dynamic Island, Alarms, native animations, SwiftData, iCloud sync, the whole ecosystem.
