Pomodoro focus timer for your menu bar and iPhone

The verdict

Flow keeps a Pomodoro timer in your Mac menu bar and on your iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, so a 25 minute focus session starts without opening a window. The free version covers the core timer. Pro adds app and website blocking, Apple Calendar sync and a Commitment mode that stops you from pausing a session halfway. It needs macOS 26 or iOS 26.
