Looking for a Pomofocus alternative?
Pomofocus is one of the most popular pomodoro timers on the web: open it, press start, add a few tasks. If you like that but want the timer and your task lists to live together, here is how Todo & Timer compares.
| Feature | Pomofocus | Todo & Timer |
|---|---|---|
| Plans | Free to use; an optional paid Premium adds projects, yearly reports, CSV downloads and integrations. | Free: the timer, timebox mode and sync between devices. Paid plans add room for more lists, tasks, files and history. |

| Per-task time & finish time | Estimates are counted in pomodoros, with an estimated finish time. | Timebox mode: give any task its own minutes, see when the whole list will be done, run the list in order. |
| Sync between devices | With a login. Todoist and webhook integrations are Premium. | Free account syncs between devices and works offline. |

Where Pomofocus is the better choice

- Premium adds yearly reports, CSV downloads and Todoist or webhook integrations.
- Has desktop apps if you prefer a separate window.
Where Todo & Timer is the better choice
- Real task lists — sections, subtasks, due dates, reminders, attachments — not only today's list.
- When a round ends you decide whether the task is done; the time is saved to that task.
- Timebox mode for tasks that don't fit 25-minute rounds, with a finish time for the whole list.
- Sync between devices on the free account, no ads, and nine interface languages.
In short
Choose Pomofocus if you only need a clean timer with a short list. Choose Todo & Timer if you want your lists and your focus time in one place.
