Podoro is a focus timer that holds up both ends of the deal. It keeps your distracting apps closed while you work — and when the break is over, it pulls you back with an alert you can't quietly ignore.
Coming soon to the App Store · iPhone · iOS 26+Choose the apps and websites you want closed, using Apple's own Screen Time picker.
Open one mid-session and you get a calm reminder of how long is left — not a lecture.
Every phase change sounds through silent mode and Focus, so a five-minute break can't quietly become an afternoon.
A live countdown sits in the Dynamic Island and on your Lock Screen. You always know where you are without opening the app.
Podoro isn't a digital prison. You choose what gets blocked, you choose when to start, and you can end a session early when you genuinely need to. The goal isn't to trap you — it's to add just enough friction that reaching for the wrong app becomes a decision instead of a reflex.
No account. No sign-up. No tracking, and no analytics. Your app selections and your focus history never leave your iPhone — Podoro can't see which apps you use or what you do in them. Read the privacy policy →
