Vitamin-R
What Vitamin-R is
Vitamin-R is a macOS app for turning tasks into bounded focus sessions. Users set a 15–25 minute time slice and keep its objective visible while they work. A Now & Later Board lets them save distracting thoughts and return attention to the task. Customizable visual, audio, and spoken prompts can mark progress, and a log book records completed slices with analytics. Sessions can be tagged by project or client and exported to CSV. A global keyboard shortcut opens a command window to set up and control sessions from any app. Users can alternate focus slices with timed renewal breaks, optionally lock the screen during breaks, or choose classic Pomodoro timing. Vitamin-R complements task managers including OmniFocus and Things, with direct integrations for bringing tasks into the app. The current product page lists macOS 13 Ventura or later and Intel and Apple silicon support. A single-user license costs 29.95 USD as a one-time purchase. The fully functional 14-day trial requires no sign-up or credit card.
