About Krono

Krono is a Pomodoro and study timer for iOS that tries to make focus sessions feel calm. It breaks work into focus intervals with built-in breaks, and every interval length can be customized. The listing describes it as a focus space with soothing soundscapes rather than a plain countdown.

Around the timer are an integrated to-do list and daily planner, a lightweight notepad, ambient sounds such as soft rain, and custom timer backgrounds that can be static, animated or your own upload. Timer styles can be adjusted for font, color, size and location. A stats dashboard shows session insights and a streaks dashboard tracks daily habits.

The app is aimed at students, creatives, professionals and lifelong learners. It is free to download with in-app purchases, and premium features are sold as a weekly or annual subscription or as a one-time purchase. It is available for iPhone and iPad.
