What BetterPomo is

BetterPomo is a shared focus timer for friends, classmates, and remote teams, available in web browsers and as a native iPhone app. Participants in a focus room follow the same timer, breaks, and room state. Rooms can use Pomodoro work and break intervals or a general running timer, while participants keep private notes and to-do lists during sessions. Session history and analytics show focus activity and consistency over time. Users can mix built-in or personal ambient sounds and save combinations as presets. Social features include friends, group conversations, communities, and session chat. Creator tools add scheduled rooms, rankings, private analytics, and OBS widgets. Stream overlays are available as Browser Sources for OBS or Streamlabs, and rooms can include a shared YouTube livestream. BetterPomo lists studying, remote work, coworking, and body doubling as intended uses. The Open beta plan costs nothing. Its privacy policy says it does not show ads or sell personal data, and direct messages are deleted after 24 hours. A native Android app is in development.
