Flowkeeper is an old-school desktop application, which implements rather rigorously what Francesco Cirillo described in his original "Pomodoro Technique" book.
Some of the examples:
- It makes breaks unconditional. Aborting a break voids the corresponding pomodoro.
- There are no half or quarter-pomodoros. You can’t mark a pomodoro as completed prematurely, only void it.
- You can record interruptions.
- The tasks are estimated visually, as in the book, and the app distinguishes between planned and unplanned stuff, so that you can analyze it retrospectively.
- You can have several backlogs and move work items between them.
I'm the author, will appreciate your feedback and improvement ideas.

Love the pomodoro technique to focus, but why do you think that a simple timer isn't enough?
