Kotoma

A focus timer
with a face.

Kotoma is a little tomato that lives on your Mac desktop. Start a session and it gets to work with you. Take a break and it takes a nap. No account, no cloud, nothing leaves your Mac.

Launch price $3.99 for the first week. Requires macOS 26 or later.

Small, friendly, out of the way.

Everything a focus timer needs, and a face that tells you how it's going.

◔

Just a tomato

No window frame, no chrome. Kotoma sits on your desktop like a sticker, and you drag it wherever you like.

☺

A face that reacts

Happy while you focus, washed out when you pause, asleep on a break, and a little jump when you finish a session.

Questions

Is it a Pomodoro timer?

It runs the classic cycle: a focus session, a short break, and a longer break after a few sessions. Every length is yours to change. Click the time on the tomato and type a new one.

Does it sync or need an account?

No. Kotoma keeps your history in a file on your Mac. You can export it as CSV from the History window.

Can I hide it?

⌘W hides the tomato and ⌃⌥T brings it back from any app. The menu bar shows the countdown the whole time.

What macOS do I need?

macOS 26 or later. Support for older versions may come in a future update.

Where does my money go?

To one person making one app. Thank you.
