Want to focus better on what youre doing? Focus Time is a beautifully designed timer for people who want to avoid distractions and get more done.

LifeHacker: "Keeps You On-Task and Productive"

Want to eliminate the anxiety of time and enhance your focus and concentration?

The key is to apply yourself to tasks by working in units of 25 minutes, separated by short breaks of 5 minutes.

The steps are:

1. Choose a task to accomplish
2. Start timer
3. Work until timer rings
4. Take a short break
5. Every 4 sessions, take a longer break

Focus Time will automatically switch between the work timer and the long/short break timers, as well as counting the number of sessions youve completed. You can select an activity and see a graph of how youre spending your time.

Dont worry about taking a call or switching to another app while using Focus Time - the timer will carry on running even in the background.

Pros and cons of Focus Time Activity Tracker app for iPhone and iPad

Focus Time Activity Tracker app good for

however It would be nice to be able to change the sound alarm!
very useful app for those who tend to try to do a million things at once and in the end not very much at all.
Pomodoro is the best time management technique and this is the best app for it.
Simply the best pomodoro technique app for iphone. Stable, reliable and runs well on iOS 4.1. Recommended.
Very usefull. The management of the tasks must be done in a paper, though.
It works well and you do not have to be a genius to use it. The vendor is always updating it, what demonstrates it is concerned about users satisfaction.

Some bad moments

EXCEPT and this IS a big problem - the alarms do not work properly :-/ If they get that fixed then.... the flexibility of this latest version clearly will put it miles ahead of other pomodoro apps.
First off, I like the whole automatic thing. It starts the break automatically. The one problem that makes this almost useless to me is that the alarm does not activate at the right time if I put my screen on sleep. I tried quitting the app and starting over, and even changing the time. The alarm still manage to activate at the wrong time. For instance, the alarm goes off to tell me I can take a break 3 minutes into my break. THis is broken imo. I have to set my phone to never sleep. The price is also quite steep for what it does. Its even a greater burn in the wallet when the app does not work.
In theory would work well but the alarm does not sound at the appropriate time ( at the end of the work period to indicate break time starting). For the price paid, I was expecting this app to be functional!
When I work, my iPhone is in my pocket, but my iPad is out in landscape mode. This app is unusable in that configuration.
Okay app but needs work. For the price more updates and features should be released regularly and UI needs cleaning up. App has a lot of potential.
Can not add previous days in history if using iOS 8. Please update. Also, if a I leave the app running a pomodoro in background and dont open the app until next day it counts that pomodoro in next day instead of when it actually happened.
