What it is

BetterPomo is a shared Pomodoro and focus timer for friends, classmates, and remote teams. Focus rooms synchronize timers, breaks, and room state so participants follow the same schedule. Rooms can use Pomodoro intervals or a general running timer. Participants can keep private notes and to-do lists, while session history and analytics show activity and consistency over time. Ambient sounds can be mixed from built-in or personal audio and saved as presets. Social features include friends, group conversations, communities, and session chat. Creator tools add scheduled rooms, rankings, private analytics, and OBS widgets. Browser Sources support OBS or Streamlabs overlays, and rooms can include a shared YouTube livestream. BetterPomo is free during its open beta and offers live coworking rooms, private rooms, a focus timer, accountability tools, and a mobile app. It runs in web browsers and as a native iPhone app; the native Android app is in development. The privacy policy says there are no ads or personal-data sales, and direct messages are deleted after 24 hours.
