Tamatem: Pomodoro & App Block

You've tried the focus apps. You've also tapped "Dismiss" on every block screen they ever showed you. So did we — and that's exactly why we built Tamatem. The name literally means "tomatoes" in Arabic — a quiet nod to the little kitchen timer that started the Pomodoro Technique. But we wanted something stricter. Something that would actually hold us to our word when we said "one more hour, I promise." — What makes Tamatem different — ⚔️ War Mode The feature we're proudest of, and the one most apps are too polite to ship. Once you enter War Mode, the door locks behind you. No quick peek. No tap-to-skip. No "just this once." Only you, your work, and the timer counting down. Built for the deadlines you cannot miss — the ones where hiding your phone in another room isn't enough anymore. 🚫 Real app blocking Not a polite nudge. Not a little reminder. Real, enforced blocking, powered by Android's accessibility service. You pick the apps that pull you away — Instagram, TikTok, games, whatever breaks your flow — and during focus, they simply don't open. Try them and you'll meet us instead. 🍅 Pomodoro, your rhythm Pick your focus intervals, your breaks, your pace. Light sprints, deep hours, or extreme marathons — you set the shape of your day. Pause when life demands it. Skip the break when you're in flow. Stack sessions back-to-back. We built on the classic Pomodoro Technique because it works, then left the rules loose enough for any kind of work. ✅ Tasks tied to focus Write down what actually matters today. Attach sessions to tasks and watch real progress accumulate, minute by honest minute. We are not trying to replace Jira, Notion, or Linear — just the sticky notes that keep falling off your monitor. 📊 Honest stats, honest streaks Daily, weekly, and monthly views of where your focus actually went. Streaks that reward showing up, not gaming the system. No guilt trips, no artificial pressure — just numbers that help you see yourself clearly. 🎵 Sounds to steady you Rain, deep ocean, white noise, gentle static — a small library of ambient soundscapes, built in and free. Nothing to subscribe to. Nothing extra to download. ☁️ Your backup, your Drive Your data is end-to-end encrypted and backed up to your own Google Drive — not our servers, not our database. Restore on any device. Delete whenever you want. It has always been yours. 🔐 Sign in the easy way Google, Apple, or GitHub. One tap. No new password to forget. — Who Tamatem is for — 📚 Students studying for exams they actually care about 👩‍💻 Developers and remote workers clawing back time from meeting overload 🧠 ADHD minds that thrive with firm, kind structure ✍️ Writers, designers, and makers doing the real work 🧘 Habit builders showing up every day — journaling, practicing, learning — What we believe — Focus is not a feeling you wait for. It is a skill you build, one honest session at a time. Rest is earned, and real. And your time is worth protecting like it matters — because it does. We're a small team, and we use Tamatem every single day. If something breaks, tell us. If something could be better, tell us. We'll listen.
