Coffee Focus vs Pomoroom

Coffee Focus is a browser-based collaborative Pomodoro service created and published by Abdelnaim BOUALI. People in a room share focus intervals and breaks synchronized in real time, and guests can join with a code without creating an account. Users can change Pomodoro, short-break and long-break durations. Weekly progress tracking and a team leaderboard add ways to follow individual or group activity. The maker presents the service for students, remote teams and developer pairs. It runs in a browser without a download or extension, and the About page says there is currently no application-level participant limit for rooms. The listed Free plan, however, allows up to three participants per session and uses only a 25/5 timer. The contact page says Coffee Focus no longer sells paid plans; former subscribers and Lifetime purchasers can contact support with questions. The privacy policy says necessary service data is not sold to third parties and that network exchanges use HTTPS/TLS. Consent for nonessential cookies, measurement and advertising can be withdrawn.

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. The app records daily, weekly, and monthly study statistics, and leaderboards let friends compare totals over those periods. 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. Premium costs $2.99 a month, $24.99 a year, or 74.99 USD as a one-time purchase. The annual plan includes a one-week free trial and renews automatically unless canceled.
