ChickFocus: Pomodoro Timer
authentic ratingA Pomodoro timer with gamification through raising chicks. Not a habit tracker in the classic sense: no daily checklists or habit reminders. But for people whose habit is focused work, it works well: it blocks apps, shows the timer on the lock screen and Apple Watch. The chick dies if you leave the app, creating real pressure to stay on task.

About the rating
Reviews are technically detailed: mentions of Live Activity, Dynamic Island, Apple Watch, and specific whitelisting requests. The share of critical reviews is proportionate. This is not a habit tracker, but requests for session tracking do appear.
