Focus Keeper review: price, free version and privacy

Our verdict

Pick Focus Keeper if you want a simple, faithful Pomodoro timer for study sessions. If you need to know exactly what is free, or want a timer without declared tracking, compare other options first.

What Focus Keeper is

Focus Keeper follows the original Pomodoro routine: 25 minutes of focus, a 5-minute break, and a longer 20 to 30 minute break after four sessions, with the next session starting automatically. You can change every interval, attach sessions to tasks, and track your focus time with charts. Recent release notes mention a more customizable task timer and improved app blocking.
