The best Pomodoro timer apps for Mac in 2026

Koi is an all-in-one Mac assistant that lives in your notch. Hover it, open Tools, then Timer, and pick Timer, Pomodoro, Stopwatch or Reminder. Drag along the minutes and press Start. Pomodoro takes a focus of 5 to 60 minutes, a break of 3, 5, 10 or 15, and 1 to 8 rounds, and goes from focus to break and back by itself until the last round.

While it runs, the folded notch shows a timer on its left and the time left on its right, so you see it over any app. When it's up, the Mac plays its Glass sound and the notch says so. A reminder says the words you typed. On a call you can just say “set a timer for twenty minutes”.

Where it loses: it doesn't block apps or sites, keeps no stats, runs one timer at a time and has no iPhone app. A timer stops if Koi quits. It isn't sold on its own: it comes with Koi Pro or Lifetime, after a 3-day free trial (card needed).

Session is a Pomodoro timer for Mac, iPhone and iPad. Free gives you unlimited sessions and breaks, analytics from the past 2 days and your calendar events inside the app.

Pro is $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year, with 7 days free. It adds your own session and break lengths, the full log, blocking apps and websites on the Mac, muting Slack, sync between devices, global shortcuts and Apple Calendar events made from your sessions.

Flow is a simple Pomodoro focus timer for Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. The free version has the interval timer, many lengths to choose from, stats and graphs, break reminders and iCloud sync of your stats, with no ads and no sign-up.

Pro is $1.49 a month. It adds fully custom lengths and cycles, app and web blocking, Apple Calendar sync, timer sync and export.

Be Focused, by Denys Ievenko, is free on the Mac App Store, for macOS 12 or later. You make tasks with notes, tags and due dates, set work and break lengths and a daily goal, and export your reports as CSV. It has widgets, global hotkeys and Shortcuts.

Pro blocks distracting apps and websites while you work. It's $2.99 a month, $19.99 a year or $39.99 once, as in-app purchases.

The Clock app comes with macOS. It has a world clock, alarms, a stopwatch to a hundredth of a second, and one or more timers at once. Apple's guide lists no Pomodoro mode, so focus and breaks are timers you start yourself.
