What it does

With distractions all around, I set out to build a product that empowers you to pause everything and focus on the moment. Focusing for a period of time and taking short breaks in between (pomodoro method), combined with the haptics of the Apple Watch, allowed me to design and develop an experience I'm proud of... Enjoy!

Best pomodoro focus timer for Apple Watch

Plan your day and knock out tasks one by one. All with a tap on the wrist. silo is designed around a minimal experience to keep you focused on what matters. The focus-break (a.k.a. pomodoro ) method is motivating, rewarding, and fully customizable to your preferences. Simply press focus. I use this app everyday. It's simple and impossible to get distracted by (with the update), which is ideal if you're easily side-tracked like me. It's also way more customizable than some of the other apps I looked at. I've tried several pomodoro apps that work with Apple Watch, and this is the best one I've found. It surprised me how stable it runs, and I like how the countdown is designed. It's pleasing…from silofocus.com
