Is there a minimalist black-and-white Pomodoro timer for iPhone?

Focus started life as a minimalist black-and-white timer, and you can still have that clean, distraction-free look. It takes three quick changes.

In settings, open Appearance and set the Accent Color to Black and White. Then, still under Appearance, choose App Icon and pick the matching black-and-white icon. Finally, open Live Activity settings and choose a style that suits your Lock Screen.

All Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets adopt the minimal style too. And with StandBy, you can stand your iPhone on your desk as a simple, always-visible Pomodoro clock while you work.

The minimalist look on your nightstand

With StandBy, your iPhone becomes a small desk clock while it charges on its side — and Focus turns it into a simple, always-visible Pomodoro timer. It feels like having a physical timer next to you: glanceable, quiet, ready when you are.

Focus offers a minimal StandBy widget as well as a more detailed one, and both pick up the black-and-white style — so your StandBy timer, Lock Screen widgets, and Live Activity all match. Set your iPhone on a charger in landscape, swipe to the widget view, and add the Focus timer. That's the whole setup.
