Tomatoro and the Mobile App

A lot of people ask whether Tomatoro has an official app on the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). The short answer is no — and the good news is that you don't need one.

Officially, there's no native app

Today Tomatoro has no native app to download from the stores. There's nothing to wait for and nothing to grab from the App Store or Google Play.

Instead, Tomatoro is built as a PWA (Progressive Web App): the web version installs and runs on your phone exactly like a native app. It's ready to go — no stores, no heavy updates, no waiting.

Why the web beats a store app

• Always up to date. Every time you open it you get the latest version — no patches to download.
• Full screen. Once installed it opens in its own window, with no browser chrome.
• Works offline. The timer keeps running even without a connection (you only need one to sign in or sync).
• Your account and reports, just like on desktop.

How to install Tomatoro on your phone

iPhone or iPad (Safari)

1. Open Tomatoro in Safari.
2. Tap the Share button (the square with an up arrow).
3. Scroll down and choose Add to Home Screen.
4. Confirm the name and tap Add.

Done — the Tomatoro icon now lives on your home screen and opens full screen, with no browser chrome.

Android (Chrome)

1. Open Tomatoro in Chrome.
2. You'll usually see a prompt to Add Tomatoro to your home screen — tap it.
3. If it doesn't appear, open the menu (three dots) and choose Install app.
4. Follow the on-screen steps.
