What is it?

Goodtime is an open-source productivity timer that combines classic Pomodoro sessions with a count-up flow mode. In Pomodoro mode, you work in focused intervals followed by short breaks, with longer breaks after several sessions. In flow mode, the timer counts up your uninterrupted time and accumulates a break budget you can spend when you are ready.

The app covers timer configuration with swipe gestures to pause, skip or add time, plus statistics for tracking accumulated focus time, daily reminders and a customizable start of day and week. Focus protection can enable Do Not Disturb during sessions. Premium features add colored labels, label-based statistics, manual session editing, notes, backup and export, and alerts such as screen flash, torch and persistent notifications.

The app is available on Google Play, F-Droid and TestFlight. It is ad-free and tracking-free, and the README notes that some Android OEMs may stop background timers, recommending disabling battery optimization for accurate alarms.
