Promodify vs Flow — Pomodoro without the Mac App Store
Flow is a beautiful macOS-only Pomodoro. Promodify runs the same intervals on any device, any OS, in a tab.
Flow (flowapp.info) is one of the prettiest native Pomodoro apps on macOS — menu bar, app blocking, statistics. If you live in a single Apple ecosystem, it's a great pick.
Promodify is OS-agnostic by design. The exact same timer, sound, and theme system runs on a Windows laptop, a Linux desktop, an iPad, an Android phone, and a school Chromebook.
