Fohkuhs For Mac

Fohkuhs is a user-friendly and unobtrusive little macOS application designed to help you stay focused on your work using the famous Pomodoro Technique.

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method created to help one stay on task until a timer counts down to zero, while also allowing for well-timed breaks which eliminate the burnout experienced after long periods of work without of pauses.

Moreover, the Pomodoro Technique uses time slices of 25 minutes (also named pomodoros), with 5-minute breaks between them for resting your eyes or performing any other thing you deem fit to help you relax, and longer 15-minute respites to keep your productivity levels in tip-top shape.

The Fohkuhs app automatically adds a status bar item which you can configure to display the remaining time in the current pomodoro. Also, via the menu bar, you can access the app's user interface which helps you start, pause or reset the current pomodoro, as well as view how many pomodoros you completed throughout the day.

If you do not want to use the mouse to start/pause and restart the pomodoro timer, you can also use the Ctrl+Alt+F and Ctrl+Alt+R global keyboard shortcuts.

Fohkuhs comes with two built-in themes, a dark one and a light one, which should help you to match its look better with your Mac's color theme.

As an added advantage, Fohkuhs automatically records how many pomodoros you've completed during the last two weeks, and enables you to view your pomodoro completion statistics by clicking the top right button on its main screen.

Fohkuhs is also highly customizable, seeing that via its Settings window you can customize your working sessions' length, as well as the short and long break lengths in minutes.

You can toggle the ticking and work session end sounds on and off, configure the app to start at login, hide its dock icon and show an image-based break screen to be reminded when you have to rest.

During our tests, Fohkuhs performed faultlessly, but we managed to pinpoint a couple of missing features: the need for an option to reset the app's preferences to default to restore it to its initial state, and a way to customize the default global hotkeys for starting/pausing and restarting the pomodoro timers.

In a nutshell, Fohkuhs is the app you need on your Mac if you find it hard to focus on the task at hand during the work day because you easily get distracted. Also, it enables you to boost your productivity levels by helping you complete a custom daily goal.
