What it is

Pomoroom is a social Pomodoro app for focusing and studying with other people, available on Android and iOS. Users can join public or private virtual study rooms, see who is online, and follow one another’s progress. The timer runs 25-minute focus sessions with customizable break intervals.

Rooms support up to 1,000 members; the Google Play listing also describes real-time chat, saved timer profiles, streak badges, and background ambience sounds. Pomoroom says it minimizes personal data collection and does not sell personal information. It describes encryption in transit, access controls, and monitoring as security safeguards. Users can delete accounts in the app settings or request deletion of remaining account data. The Free plan is available.
