SuperfocusSuperfocus vs Pomofocus: $1.99 vs a 25/5 clock
Keep Pomofocus if you only want a 25/5 clock. Superfocus is $1.99/month for a timer, one named task, and optional sound in one tab. There is no free plan.
The stall
- Timer in one tab. Spotify in another.
- Tasks somewhere else.
- Focus fragmented across apps.
The block
- One tab: clock, named task, optional sound.
- Superfocus is $1.99/month.
- No free plan. No guest timer.
Direct answer
This is a decision page, not a feature dump. Pomofocus is a fast 25/5 tomato in a browser tab. Superfocus is a browser pomodoro / focus timer billed at $1.99/month: one countdown, one named task, and optional cassette sound in the same tab. There is no Superfocus free plan and no guest timer.
- You only want 25 on / 5 off — stay on Pomofocus. It is a well-known kitchen-timer page. Keep it if you already run music and tasks somewhere else and that split works.
- You want the clock, a named task, and optional sound together — Superfocus. Premium is $1.99/month after a 7-day trial. Subscribe, then use the timer at /app.
- You only need a countdown — a kitchen timer or the phone clock is $0. Do not pay $1.99/month for that.
Superfocus vs Pomofocus
| If this is the job | Use | What you get | What you pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| A tomato clock and nothing else | Pomofocus | Classic 25/5 page, light task list | The web timer is free; paid extras live on their site if you want them |
| Timer + named task + optional sound on the computer you work on | Superfocus | Pomodoro, Sprint, Flow, and Deep Work presets; cassettes; Todoist; completed-session stats | $1.99/month. No free plan. |
| A countdown and nothing else | Kitchen timer or phone clock | 25 on / 5 off if you remember the breaks | $0 |
Keep Pomofocus when 25/5 is the whole product
Pomofocus won because it looks like a kitchen timer in a browser. If you already have Spotify elsewhere and a task list elsewhere, and you like that split, stay. Switching tools for sport is not focus.
Choose Superfocus when that split is why sessions die: you open lofi on YouTube, the sidebar recommends a video, and the pomodoro never starts. Superfocus keeps the 25/5 default and adds longer presets, sound that is not a second destination, and a log of blocks you actually finished — billed at $1.99/month, not as a “free timer plus three other subscriptions.”
What Superfocus actually is
Superfocus is a browser pomodoro / focus timer: a clock, one named task, optional cassette sound (lofi, rain, and similar beds), Todoist if you already live there, and completed-session stats. Presets include Pomodoro 25/5, Sprint, Flow, and Deep Work.
It is not a guest timer. It is not a free plan with a daily cap. It is not “one free browser app.” Premium is $1.99/month after a 7-day trial.
Who should not subscribe
Do not pay $1.99/month if you want a $0 tomato and will never use sound, a named task, or history. Use Pomofocus or a kitchen timer. Do not pick Superfocus as a Forest clone — we do not grow trees. Pick Superfocus when you already work in a browser and you are tired of a timer tab, a music tab, and a task tab fighting each other.
