Cadence helps you stay focused with customizable Pomodoro-style timers (work/break cycles).
You can set personalized work and break intervals that match your rhythm and energy levels. Cadence also helps you stay on track with features like project tracking, productivity stats, and daily goals — giving you insight into how you spend your time and helping you build better habits. During focus sessions, you can block distracting websites to maintain momentum and avoid temptation.
Cadence is lightweight, reliable, and intuitive. It never saves, sends, or uses any of your information for purposes other than its core functionality.
