A Pomofocus alternative for timers with a full sound setup
Flow starts with the same practical need—a clear work block and break—but adds original music, ambient layers, tasks, visual scenes, and measured session history around the timer.
Pick based on the amount of setup you want. Pomofocus may suit a lean timer-first routine, while Flow is designed for people who want sound and session context in the same place.

Questions
Can I use Flow as a basic Pomodoro timer?
Yes. Start with the free 25/5 timer in your browser, then ignore or add the music, ambient, task, and scene features as needed.
Is Flow better than Pomofocus?
That depends on your workflow. Flow offers a broader sound and session environment; a lighter timer may be preferable when you want fewer controls.
