In their own words
Goodtime
Goodtime is a mobile productivity timer for Android and iOS, combining Pomodoro countdowns with open-ended count-up sessions for flow work. A built-in task list, colored labels, and custom intervals help organise sessions. The app records focus statistics and notes, and allows manual logging when sessions were completed offline. Timer controls include size, immersive mode, indicators, autostart, and notification styles. Do Not Disturb can silence notifications while a timer runs. Goodtime creates automatic local backups and supports manual CSV or JSON import and export. Optional synchronization uses Google Drive on Android or iCloud on iOS; the maker says it cannot access synced data. Personal data is said to remain on the device unless cloud sync is enabled, and not to be collected, stored, or sold. Goodtime is open-source under GPL-3.0. The free plan provides basic functionality, with optional one-time purchases through Google Play, the App Store, and RevenueCat. Some Android vendors may stop background work, so battery optimization may need disabling for accurate alarms.
