What is Focus To-Do?

Focus To-Do pairs a Pomodoro timer with a task manager, so you can set a time for each task, work in focused sessions and see reports of where your time went. It syncs across phone, tablet and computer, supports subtasks, reminders and repeats, and a paid Premium upgrade unlocks extra features.

Pros: what Focus To-Do does well

  • Timer and tasks in one place
  • Clear daily and weekly reports
  • Apps for almost every device

Cons: where it falls short

  • Some features need Premium
  • Interface feels a little busy

Who Focus To-Do is for

Anyone who likes the Pomodoro method and wants tasks right next to the timer.

Who can skip it

People who already use a separate timer and task manager they love.
