The user can also choose from a variety of ambient noises to play during their focusing session. For people who purchase the app, productivity statistics can also be tracked. If the user does not have their phone with them, they can also go into the app later and manually add their time and a description of the activity and how it went. The user can also keep track how long they have focused and how long they have taken breaks throughout the day. At the end of each chunk of focused time, the user can choose to take a break and then get back to work.

The user can also tag each focus session by clicking in the upper left hand corner and writing down what they are focusing on at the moment. They then simply click on the “Start” button and Focus Tomato will keep track of their focus time. To start, the user opens the app and selects the amount of time that they would like to focus for by clicking on the stopwatch button on the screen.

The app uses the Pomodoro Method, which is a way of focusing for a set amount of time (usually 20 minutes) with a short break in between each focus session (usually five minutes.) When the four focusing sessions are complete, the user takes a longer break (usually 25-30 minutes) and then can begin the process over again. Focus Tomato is a focus timer app that uses witty images and sounds to help the user track their time spent on certain activities and to track their progress over time.
