Description
Get things done right from your Apple Watch, pomodoro-style.
"To add something to your daily life without too much intrusion or making it complicated, that's what the watch is all about, and I think this app does a great job of that” —Apple WatchCast Podcast
At times, it’s overwhelming to get anything done. With distractions all around, the hardest part is getting started. With silo, you get a little tap on the wrist reminding you to focus and take breaks. Simply put, silo is a little motivator (on your wrist) silently nudging you to get your tasks done.
Focus-Break method
Start with 25 minutes of focus followed by 5-minute breaks in between. Emerging reports show that taking breaks between periods of uninterrupted focus is a healthy way to boost productivity. Having this super power on your Apple Watch, makes it even better.
Using silo on the Apple Watch lets you work in quiet spaces (library or office) without disturbing others nearby. With distraction-free mode (Airplane mode) incoming notifications are muted, so you can focus interruption-free.
INTRODUCING SILO PRO
Combining To Do’s with the focus-break method gives you the best of both worlds. This combo lets you avoid procrastination and knock out tasks one by one.
How it works
1. Add your top tasks of the day
2. You’ll get a reminder to start
3. Pull up your Apple Watch (or iPhone), and hit FOCUS
4. A tap on the wrist tells you when to take a break
5. Rinse and repeat
Work-hour tracking
While you focus, silo tracks your work-hours. There's nothing else you need to do. Check out your Stats to see hours worked each day or week. If you’ve added a #task to a focus session, you can track time for that task.
Apple Watch Complications
Complications are a quick way to check the session status—and take you directly to the app. Add the silo complication right from your watch or using the watch app on your iPhone.
Silence speaks volumes
With the power of the Apple Watch Taptic Engine, silo silently nudges you without distracting others around you.

- #1 focus timer on Apple Watch
- Haptic feedback for quiet focus
- Total session time now previewed focus button
- Auto-pause between each focus-break
- New short look notifications on watch
- Adjust timer settings from watch
- Distraction-free airplane mode
- Pause a session

Guitarmaster13,
Not working well with my Apple Watch.
*update*
Thank you dev for responding. I have raised the my rating from my original 1-star because I believe it is something with Apples software that is causing the bug. The symptom I have originally described has happened with other apps as well, not just yours.
Basically the only fix is uninstalling and reinstalling again... unfortunately it just stops working randomly and the only fix is uninstalling and reinstalling again which is a real hassle. Again this is happening with a lot of timer apps including fitness timers on my watch not just yours. The fix is always uninstall and reinstall.
My next step in trouble shooting is completely resetting my watch and downloading everything again.
*Original review*
I am getting neither a notification nor haptic feedback after the end of work or break times on my Apple Watch series 1 with IP7+.
I used to get both haptic feedback and notification every time. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling yet this didn't work.

Feedback
- the way the subscription is present is a turn off. Find a way that is less frustrating to new users. I spent 5 minutes trying to figure out the features only to realize they can’t be interacted with at all. I thought the app was broken.
- add a numerical timer. I like the aesthetic, but I also like to know the exact time left.
- sync the Apple Watch and iPhone app. I set a timer on one, the timer should be going on the other. That’s the deal breaker for me, personally.
Giving five stars because previous reviews are unfair and this app is one of the better pomodoro apps I’ve tried, just dragged down by its subscription presentation and the lack of a numerical display. It’s been more than a year so an update is unlikely, but I hope you consider the above if you do update it.

One the better pomodoro apps when it works
So far, I really like this app. The look and functionality is great. But I find that I’m not getting notifications at the end of sessions. Often, I’ll go to check how much time is left in a session only to find that it ended a while ago and I wasn’t notified. :(
good_apps_please,
Waste of a dollar
I purchased this app for a dollar, and as soon as i opened it, it wouldn't let me do anything taskwise unless i pay for a monthly subscription! Plus, the pomodoro timer does not show you the current time (not even sure if its working), and if you pause the timer, you're not sure if you're actually pausing or resetting the timer. Very Frustrating!
KiraMom,
Please suggest how to get early bird offer
Hi. Description says that there is early bird offer - $0.99 one time payment for pro.
But in app there is only monthly 1.99$ subscription.
Please suggest is offer still available?

Great watch app
Free version is great and met all my Pomodoro needs!

Subscription trap
No complications without a subscription.
No sync between watch and phone.
One star. I don’t like “creative” descriptions that avoid the truth.

Winner, winner
The most recent update did the trick--I haven't had a problem of any sort. Kudos to the developer for being so responsive and quick to find a fix.
I use this app everyday. It's simple and impossible to get distracted by (with the update), which is ideal if you're easily side-tracked like me. It's also way more customizable than some of the other apps I looked at.
I'm going to leave my original review to draw attention to the developer's attentiveness. Increased from 4 stars to 5.
**Original**
This is a simple and effective app that does what I want it to.
Most of the time.
The most recent update has fixed the crazy end-of-cycle bug that previous reviews mentioned for about 50% of the time. Completing a cycle now induces the equal parts of panic and adrenaline of a game of roulette--rather than the previous sense of impending doom. It's not a totally catastrophic bug anymore, just quite annoying.
It seems, however, that the most recent update wrecked havoc on the haptic feedback tap marking each focus/break transition. It's the primary reason I chose this time tracker over others. My hope is that the developer, who seems fairly responsive to reviews, can rectify the haptic bug quickly.
Bearing in mind the unfortunate haptic hiccup of the most recent update (and the moderate success of the other bug's fix), I nevertheless recommend this app to folks looking for an efficient, customizable tool for time management.

Buggy and inconsistent
Despite removing and reinstalling the app , this app is buggy and inconsistent. Some days it works, others it doesn’t.
At the start of most days, before I’ve even used the app, the Apple Watch version claims I’ve already done 1.5 hours of work which a obviously untrue. I don’t care about tracking daily totals so this isn’t a big deal but this is probably frustrating to those who do use such a feature.
The various Apple Watch complications often don’t refresh the time remaining in a session which defeats the point of raising the watch to monitor the time remaining. These should update instantly, like any other complication.
Often the Apple Watch doesn’t vibrate when it’s supposed to despite having “prominent haptic feedback” enabled and the vibration pattern often isn’t very strong anyways. A suggestion for a future update might be to allow configuration of different vibration patterns as the same vibration patterns as every other Watch app are easy to ignore. Perhaps even differentiate between working sessions and break sessions? I use “silent mode” and “do not disturb” on my iPhone when working however the Apple Watch should still vibrate unless in theatre mode.

Sphinx711,
Really like the Apple Watch integration.
I since founds lots of pomodoro Apps that support Apple Watch, but none but one have a complication support. Also all their haptic feedback is not working well.
The May 22 update was supposed to have fixed the craziness at the end of a cycle. I have not been able to test this because just like another reviewer (21m21) I don't get any haptic feedback any more. So at this point the app is not working for me.
PREVIOUS REVIEW:
This is the first Pomodoro app I found that has Apple Watch integration which is a huge plus because notifications on the phone are not always reliable. When listening to music in my work computer I miss iPhone notifications entirely. The Watch works well.
Why only 3 stars? On March 10 a user reported a bug with the Watch app going crazy after completing a set. The developer promised a fix in the next update. I just bought the app today having seen that there was an update. Alas, it is still not fixed.
