What Pomoroom is
Pomoroom is a social Pomodoro app for focusing and studying with other people, available on Android and iOS. Users can join public or private virtual study rooms, see who is online, and track one another’s progress. The timer uses 25-minute focus sessions with customizable break intervals. The app records daily, weekly, and monthly study statistics, and leaderboards let friends compare study totals for those periods. The Google Play listing says rooms support up to 1,000 members and describes real-time chat, saved timer profiles, streak badges, and background ambience sounds. Pomoroom says it minimizes personal data collection and does not sell personal information. It lists encryption in transit, access controls, and monitoring as security safeguards. Users can delete an account in app settings or request deletion of remaining account data. The Free plan costs nothing. Premium costs $2.99 a month, $24.99 a year, or 74.99 USD as a one-time purchase; the annual plan includes a one-week free trial and auto-renews unless canceled.
