Focus To-Do vs Tomato Timer

Focus To-Do combines task management with a Pomodoro timer for planning work and completing tasks in focused sessions. You can organize tasks and projects, set due dates and reminders, add subtasks and notes, and schedule repeating tasks. Timer controls include adjustable work and break lengths, pause and resume, skipped breaks, and continuous mode. The app can also help plan work or study, keep shopping lists, set birthday reminders, and arrange schedules. Its historical reports summarize work time, completed tasks, daily, weekly, and monthly time, and project time ratios. Focus To-Do syncs across Android, iOS, macOS, web, Windows, and other listed devices including iPad and Apple Watch. Local mode needs no registration, but its data cannot sync and is lost if the app is uninstalled. The free plan is available; the listed three-month Premium in-app purchase is $3.99 a month, billed for 3 Months. The privacy policy says personal information is stored in the People's Republic of China and synced task data is collected for synchronization.

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.
