What it is

Tomato Timer is a focus timer for the browser and macOS, with a task list alongside timed work sessions. Its pattern alternates focused work with short breaks, then takes a longer break after four rounds. The browser timer includes a todo list for connecting sessions to tasks and lets users set custom focus durations; it runs without a download or signup. Browser data stays locally on the device. The native Mac app places its countdown in the menu bar and includes a todo list. It works offline, storing todos and timer history locally; the app's privacy policy says task, timer, and settings data are encrypted and not sent to external servers or third parties. The Mac app requires macOS 12.2 or later and supports Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. The web timer is free. The macOS app costs $3.99, paid once, with no subscription. Listed platforms are Linux, macOS, web, and Windows.
