Focus is a Full-Screen Ritual on macOS.
Silent in your menu bar while working, blooming into a multi-screen frosted-glass halo when it's time to rest. A native Pomodoro timer crafted for deep work.
Universal Binary for Apple Silicon (M1–M4) & Intel · macOS 13 Ventura or later · 100% Offline & Sandboxed
Most timers are dismissed with a single click.
Traditional timers only count down seconds. When the alarm rings, you dismiss it and keep staring at the screen. macTomato turns break-time into a visual ritual so your eyes and mind actually recover.
Multi-Screen Frosted Curtain
When breaks start, all connected monitors fill with a gentle frosted glass breathing halo, large countdown, and health cues. Press Esc anytime to exit.
Desktop Widget & Mini HUD
Check countdown, active task, and daily completed pomodoros from your desktop widget (3 sizes) or dock into a compact floating Mini HUD.
Offline Ambient Soundscapes
Built-in rain, forest, fireplace, white noise, and clock ticks synthesized directly on your Mac. No subscriptions, zero internet required.
Designed for macOS Sequoia & Sonoma
Lightweight, silent in the menu bar, adhering strictly to Apple Human Interface Guidelines.
A Full-Screen Sensory Reset
macTomato pairs frosted glass overlays, breathing animation, and health prompts so you smoothly transition between intense focus and real physical rest.
Multi-Display Break Curtain
When rest begins, all screens dim softly under translucent frosted glass. A slow breathing light ring accompanies eye-relaxation cues. You can dismiss it anytime by pressing Esc.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes macTomato different from other Pomodoro timers?
macTomato transforms breaks into a multi-screen visual ritual. Instead of easy-to-ignore notification badges, it gently blankets all displays with a frosted-glass breathing halo and ergonomic rest cues, paired with desktop widgets and real-time synthesized ambient sounds.
Is macTomato a subscription or a one-time purchase?
It is strictly a one-time purchase ($3.99 / ¥23). You get lifetime access to all core features, future updates, and Apple Family Sharing support without any monthly subscriptions or hidden charges.
Does the full-screen break lock up my Mac?
No. The break curtain is an ergonomic visual ritual, not a destructive lock. You can press the Escape (Esc) key anytime or click "Skip Break" to immediately return to your desktop if urgent tasks arise.
What permissions does macTomato require?

All data is kept 100% offline inside your local macOS sandbox directory. macTomato does not transmit any user telemetry or session history over the network.
What macOS versions and hardware are supported?
macTomato supports macOS 13.0 Ventura, macOS 14 Sonoma, and macOS 15 Sequoia. It is compiled as a Universal Binary, running at peak performance on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) as well as Intel-based Macs.
