Sound familiar?
You don't need more willpower. You need fewer exits.
Most lost focus comes from a few predictable traps. Tasker closes each one.
Big tasks feel impossible to start
A 25-minute session is small enough to start right now. Tasker turns a scary project into a row of short, finishable blocks.
You work for hours without a break and burn out by 3 pm
Short breaks after every session and a long break after four keep your energy steady through the day.
At the end of the day you can't tell where the time went
Every session is logged per task. Daily, weekly and monthly stats show your real focus time.
How it works
From distracted to deep work in three taps
No setup marathon. The classic Pomodoro settings work out of the box.
Pick a task
Add what you are working on – an essay, a feature, a chapter – with an icon and a note.
Start the timer
25 minutes of focus. The countdown follows you to the Lock Screen, the Dynamic Island and your Apple Watch.
Let the blocker work
Turn on the focus blocker once and the apps and websites you picked stay closed during every work session.
Take the break
When the session ends, start your break straight from the notification. After four sessions: a long break.
Prefer 50/10 or 90-minute blocks? Tasker Pro lets you set any session length from 5 to 120 minutes.
Focus blocker
Block distracting apps and websites while you focus
Tasker uses Apple's Screen Time framework, so the blocking is done by iOS itself – not by a reminder you can swipe away.
- Pick single apps, whole categories like Social, or websites
- Block automatically during every work session
- Or tap “Block now” when you need a quiet hour
- Tasker never sees which apps you chose or how you use them
Statistics
See your focus add up
Every finished session is counted – even when it ends while Tasker is closed. Set a daily target and watch your streak of good days grow.
- Completed sessions per day, week and month
- Average, best day and total at a glance
- Session counts for each task, today and overall
Everywhere you look
On your wrist, your Lock Screen and your Dynamic Island
Leave Tasker and the countdown keeps running in a Live Activity. Your Apple Watch shows the same session with the same settings as your iPhone.
- Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island
- Apple Watch app that follows your iPhone settings
- Notifications with quick actions: start the break or the next session
- Tasks and history synced through your own iCloud

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is Tasker free?
Yes. You can download Tasker for free and use the Pomodoro timer with 3 focus sessions a day and 3 tasks, including the Live Activity and the Apple Watch app. Tasker Pro removes the limits and adds the focus blocker, statistics and custom session lengths – as a monthly subscription with a 3-day free trial or a one-time lifetime purchase.
How does Tasker block apps?
Tasker uses Apple's Screen Time framework (Family Controls). You pick apps, app categories and websites; during a work session iOS blocks them. Tasker never sees which apps you chose or how you use your phone.
Does the timer keep running when I leave the app?
Yes. The countdown continues in a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, and a notification tells you when the session ends. Sessions that end while Tasker is closed are still counted.
Does Tasker work on Apple Watch?
Yes. The Apple Watch app lets you start and follow sessions on your wrist and uses the session lengths and daily target from your iPhone.
Can I change the 25-minute sessions?
With Tasker Pro you can set focus sessions from 5 to 120 minutes, breaks from 1 to 60 minutes and choose after how many sessions the long break comes. The free plan uses the classic 25 / 5 / 15 rhythm.
Is Tasker good for ADHD?
Many people with ADHD use short, timed sessions to get started and to notice time passing. Tasker keeps it simple: one task, one big countdown, a break you don't have to remember and fewer distractions. It is a focus tool, not a treatment.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up. Your tasks and sessions stay on your devices and sync through your own iCloud if you use it.
Is there an Android version?
No. Tasker is made for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. On any computer you can use our free online Pomodoro timer.
