A Pomodoro timer that never charges you to work
Most timer apps lock the basics behind a subscription. Ma does the opposite.
Free, for good
Cycles, notifications, Live Activity, widgets, statistics and iCloud sync are free. No trial, no limits.
Pay once, for beauty
Ma Plus is a single purchase for themes, dials, fonts, icons and sounds. No subscription, shared with your family.
Quiet by design
No account, no ads, no tracking. Your history stays on your devices and in your own iCloud.
Everything a timer should do — reliably
Ma keeps exact time with the screen locked or the app closed, because it counts down to an end time instead of ticking.
Lock Screen and Dynamic Island
The ensō and the time left, live — pause or skip without opening the app.
Widgets that work
Start or pause from the Home Screen; see today's sessions and your streak.
Gentle statistics
Today, your streak, the last 7 days and time per tag. Export everything as CSV.
- Menu bar timer on the Mac
- Tasks and tags for each session

- 14 languages

Questions
Is the timer really free?
Yes. Every feature that keeps time — cycles, notifications, Live Activity, widgets, statistics and sync — is free with no time limit. Ma Plus only changes how Ma looks and sounds.
Does Ma work with the screen locked or the app closed?
Yes. Ma stores when each phase ends, schedules the alerts in advance and shows the countdown on the Lock Screen, so it stays exact even if the app is closed.
Do I need an account?
No. Ma has no accounts. Your history syncs through your own iCloud, which Apple encrypts and we never see.
Is Ma Plus a subscription?
No. It is a one-time purchase, available on iPhone, iPad and Mac and shareable with your family.
What does “ma” mean?
間 (ma) is the Japanese idea of the pause between things — the space that gives shape to what is around it. In a Pomodoro, it is the break.
