A Pomodoro timer that puts the timer first. No clutter, no signup walls, no twelve-step setup wizard. Just open it and start working. Like a timer should.
iOS & Android · No account required · Free forever · 🐸
Built for people who'd rather be working than configuring their productivity app. Every feature earns its place. If it doesn't help you focus, it's not here.
The timer is the entire home screen. Start a focus session in one tap from a cold launch. Phase selector, task pill, and controls — nothing else until you need it.
Add tasks manually or sync from Todoist. Plan your day with pomodoro goals, mark your most important task as the Daily Frog, and let FocusFrog track your progress.
See your best focus window, streaks, distraction patterns, and productivity rate. Daily, weekly, monthly, and all-time views — presented as readable cards, not spreadsheets.
Tap the distraction button during focus sessions to log interruptions without breaking flow. Over time, you'll discover your most distracted hours. (Spoiler: it's usually 2pm.)
Auto-start breaks when focus ends and auto-start focus when breaks finish. Set it once and FocusFrog handles the transitions — you just hop along.
From clean Light and Dark modes to atmospheric themes like Ocean, Aurora, Cherry Blossom, and Midnight. Each changes the entire app — not just the accent color.
Download FocusFrog and start your first session in under 10 seconds. No account needed. No credit card. No existential dread about whether you picked the right productivity app.

Every theme transforms the timer ring colors, backgrounds, and phase gradients. Not just accent colors — full app transformations. Four included free, six more with Pro.
Most Pomodoro apps make you set up tasks, pick durations, and configure settings before your first session. FocusFrog doesn't. Because setup is procrastination in disguise.
The timer is ready the moment you launch. Default 25-minute focus, 5-minute short break, 15-minute long break. Change it later if you want. Or don't. The defaults work. (We're frogs, not control freaks.)
The screen clears. Your phone stays awake. DND kicks in if you've enabled it. When time's up, you get sound, haptics, and a notification — even from your lock screen. No way to miss it.
After each session, jot down what you accomplished. (Optional, but helpful.) FocusFrog handles the Focus → Break → Focus cycle — or auto-starts the next phase if you enable Auto-Pilot.
Love Forest or Focus Keeper? We do too. But if you want a real Pomodoro workflow — not just a countdown timer with a tree on it — here's why people switch.
Great for staying off your phone. Less great for getting things done.
A decent Pomodoro timer — until you need more than just a timer.
Already have a task list somewhere else? Pull it in. Completions sync both ways — check off a task in FocusFrog and it's done in Todoist too. Like magic, but less expensive.
Every focus session is logged automatically. FocusFrog turns that data into patterns you can actually act on — no spreadsheets, no manual tracking, no lies about how productive you were — no manual tracking required.
FocusFrog is built by someone who actually uses Pomodoro timers daily (not a product manager who read a blog post once). These are the small things other apps get wrong.
After each focus session, write a quick note about what you accomplished. It shows up in your session history so you can trace what you did and when.
Working on two things at once? Assign multiple tasks to a single focus session. Both get tracked in your stats.
Mark one task as your most important for the day. It floats to the top of every list so you can't ignore it. Eat that frog first. (Wait, that came out wrong...)
Plan how many pomodoros each task should take. Track your progress visually as you complete sessions throughout the day.
See your remaining time without unlocking your phone. Background timer keeps running accurately even when the app isn't visible.
Export all your data — tasks, sessions, preferences — to a file. Restore it on a new device or keep it as a safety net. Your data stays yours. We don't want it.
Every core feature works without paying. Pro unlocks premium themes and advanced analytics for the people who want to go deeper. But you don't need Pro to get work done. That's the point.
