Session review

Session is a Pomodoro timer for Apple devices that asks you to state your focus before each session and what you learned afterwards. The free plan includes unlimited sessions and rests, analytics for the past 2 days and your calendar events inside the app. Most of the useful tools sit in Pro: custom session and break lengths, the full session log, website and app blocking on Mac, muting Slack and updating your Slack status during a session, real-time sync between Mac and iPhone, global keyboard shortcuts, and automation with AppleScript and Apple Shortcuts. The website blocker works on Safari, Chrome, Brave and Microsoft Edge. Pro costs $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year, which works out to $3.33 a month, and the pricing page notes that prices differ by region. Students can ask for 30% off for one year. It ranks last because the free plan is thin and there is no Windows or Android app.
