These Handy Apps Will Remind You
Start the Timer
Apps that use the Pomodoro method can increase your productivity. They help you stay on track with taking short breaks to regain your concentration.
Be Reminded When You Leave or Arrive
Some of the handiest reminders are those that alert you when you leave a spot or arrive at a destination.
Remember to Focus
Tools that remind you to focus can reduce distractions and let you get back to business.
Reduce procrastination and contribute to nature at the same time.
Forest – Your Focus Motivation
For procrastinators who like games or the environment.
Procrastination is inevitable. You know you should be focusing on something besides your iOS device, but somehow you end up in the Facebook app yet again. Forest hopes to eliminate that distraction with a timer that can be used in a pomodoro-like way, but with an incentive. As long as the app remains open in the foreground while the timer you set counts down, a virtual tree will grow, and you will be awarded coins. The goal is to grow a tree with each timer you set by not exiting the app and, thus, not getting distracted by your phone. Over time, the virtual trees you grow will make up a virtual forest displayed in the app, and you can compete with friends in doing this as well.
Finally, coins you gather by focusing can eventually be used to plant trees in the real world once you collect enough.
