A Pomofocus alternative when a timer alone is not quite enough
Flow preserves the clear work-and-break pattern but surrounds it with original music, adjustable ambience, a session task, visual scenes, and honest records of completed time.
A lean timer can be exactly right, so compare what you will genuinely use. Flow earns its place when the sound environment and session context help; Pomofocus may suit a more minimal routine.
