Focus timer for iPhone and Android

Track what you do, not what you plan.

Pomodoro counts down. Monodoro counts up. Focus for as long as you want, without a timer interrupting you just when you’re getting focused.

Monodoro is coming soon to the App Store and Google Play.

Counts up, not down

Start without deciding how long.

A countdown asks you to decide how long you’ll work before you begin. Monodoro simply keeps time while you focus and records how long it actually took.

Pomodoro counts down
  • Pick a length before you start.
  • The timer goes off when time is up, even if you’re in the middle of something.
  • Your day gets measured in fixed blocks.
Monodoro counts up

  • Tap to pause. Hold 2 seconds to finish when you are done.
  • Every session is logged with the time it really took.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How is Monodoro different from a Pomodoro timer?

A Pomodoro timer counts down from a fixed length and stops you when it ends. Monodoro counts up. You pick a task, press Start and stop when you are done. The time you actually spent is what gets logged.

Do I have to set a goal for every task?

No. You only need a name for what you are working on. Linking it to a project is optional. If you want a daily target, you can set one in Insights and change it any time.

What is Focus endurance?

How long your phone stays down without being picked up. Turning the screen off is fine, and that time still counts. Picking the phone up saves the stretch. Your focus time keeps running either way.

It is an estimate. Small movements may not register.

Does picking up my phone change my focus time?

No. Pickups never change your focus time. They only end the current still stretch.

Are my motion sensor readings uploaded?

No. Motion readings are processed on your phone. Only a summary of each session is saved, such as the longest still stretch and the number of likely pickups.

What happens if I switch to another app?

Your focus time keeps going. On iPhone, Focus endurance fills in the time away from the phone’s motion history. On Android, it pauses while you are in another app and resumes when you come back.

Is Monodoro free?

Yes. Focus, Plans, Insights, Focus endurance, milestones and cloud sync are free. Monodoro Pro adds every palette and app icon, Trends and PDF reports, from $1.99 a month with a free trial.

Can I export or delete my data?

Yes. You can export your sessions as a CSV file from Insights, and delete your account and data from Profile, then Settings. How account deletion works.
