Tomato One - Free Focus Timer for PC and Mac

Software Reviews and Criticism

  almost A+

  This app has improved my productivity a lot—everything is a little bit easier when you only have to work in 25-minute chunks!—but in the new version, they took away the dots that appeared after each chunk. I preferred having the visual of the completed “tomatoes” on the timer itself instead of having to click on the stats (which otherwise are kind of useless), in part because it was aesthetically pleasing and also in part because it didn’t require any extra clicking. I’d love to bring that back. Everything else, though, works as any timer should.

  Simple but effective

  This app has a minimal design and does exactly what it promises to do. The pomodoro technique is pretty helpful for me to stay on task. For me at least, after the enter of a work session, the timer more-or-less silently transitions into a break session. There is no popup which means that I frequently work through 30 minutes without taking the break. One improvement that would be really helpful is to popup the window after the end of the work session for the user to click to began the break session. Thanks.

  It was working until a month ago (El Capitan)

  I had it all spring quarter 2017. It was working as it was suppose to until late May/early June. I’m not entirely too sure why. It unexpectedly quits and a pop up window to report it opens as the timer ends. I usually just reopen the app whenever it asks. It does this no matter what time I set for it including changing the short and long breaks. It just keeps shutting down. Another user that also has El Capitan had this issue. I hope there is an update to fix this. It’s not continuous and I usually have to set up my small timer on my fitbit whenever this happens.

  Nice-to-haves in Futures Updates

  On the main screen, the completed tomatoes should be broken up into blocks of four; on a new row, or a delineater such as a bar or green dot to show the long breaks. Also, it should stop at the end of 4 sessions so I know when to stop for the day without counting the red dots.
