Info updated on:

Pomy is a focus timer that reminds you to take a short break for eye rest. This tool lets you know when it is time to stop focusing on your screen to prevent eye strain. It has a widget-like design with several customization features in terms of appearance, including the selection of a favorite color-based theme, the ability to auto-start on wake, the option to stay on top of other windows, and the choice of showing the timer in the menu bar if desired.

The small sized-interface doesn't disturb your view when focusing on screen activities, yet you may find it rather difficult to manage when making settings. Therefore, you need o drag a vertical slider each time you want to customize settings. However, the tool offers to remind you at every 20 minutes that it is time for a short break of 20 seconds. During the break, it is advisable to take your eyes from the screen and look elsewhere, at objects placed at a reasonable distance. These time references aren't adjustable by any means. They come by default and don't support customization. Yet, you can stop and respectively, start the timer manually, yet you can't pause the countdown to resume from where you left off.

To conclude, Pomy is a Pomodoro-like application for eye rest from screen focusing. It is simple, minimalist, and always present to remind you that it is time for a break to prevent eye strain.
