Pomodoro Focus Timer: Balance

A pomodoro timer for study, work and task lists

Pomodoro Focus Timer: Balance is a pomodoro timer that also records how much time goes into each project. The listing names studying, working and managing tasks as its main uses. Projects are the base unit: timing, goals and tasks all sit under one.

The developer presents it as a study timer as well as a general focus tool. Nothing in the listing limits it to a single kind of work.

Setting pomodoro lengths and break cycles

You set the length of each focus interval, and the length of short and long breaks separately. You also choose how many pomodoros run before a long break. The timer can count down to the end of an interval or count up from zero, whichever style you pick.

Tracking time per project and sharing the figures

A single tap starts time tracking. The statistics show how much time went into each project, and the listing says you can share them. This is the place to check where your hours went, as opposed to where the timer ran.

Goals broken into daily targets

You set a goal for a project, and the app splits a large goal into smaller daily goals. According to the listing, those daily targets adjust automatically based on how much work you have logged. Goals and time tracking therefore feed each other.

Organising tasks, tags and project groups

Tasks sit inside projects, so you can track time against one specific task rather than the whole project. Tags are attached to tasks and used to filter them. Project groups let you collect related projects under headings such as Work, Study or Personal.
