## What is Cadence AI Focus?

CadenceAI — Not another Pomodoro app.

Your brain doesn't work like everyone else's. Answer 4 quick questions, get a focus method matched to how you actually work, and an AI Coach that learns from every session.

6 FOCUS METHODS
• Pomodoro 25/5 (free), Deep 50/10, Ultradian 90/20, Flowtime, Custom, Animedoro 50/20
• 5-minute starter tip when getting started feels impossible

ANIMATED TIMER THEMES
Pick how your timer looks: the signature progress ring or a growing plant (both free), or Pro themes — hourglass, candle, water, rocket, mountain, and an evolving pixel pet that grows the more you focus.

FITNESS MODE
Interval workouts with work and rest rounds. Tabata free; HIIT, Stretch and fully custom intervals with Pro. Clear on-screen WORK/REST flips, plus alarms that still fire when your phone is locked.

WIND DOWN — NIGHT MODE
• Rain scene free; Pro sleep and breathing scenes with curated soundscapes
• Guided 4-7-8 breathing; durations up to infinite

AI COACH
