## What is FocusVille?

FocusVille turns your focus time into a cozy pixel-art village. It combines a gamified study timer, Pomodoro-style focus sessions, app blocking and village-building rewards to help you stay productive and avoid distractions.

Pick a building, choose how long you want to focus—from 15 to 90 minutes—and put your phone down. While you stay focused, your little villager gets to work chopping wood, mining stone or digging clay.

Complete the focus timer and the resources are yours. Leave the app early, and the day’s work is lost.

Spend what you earn to upgrade the Timber Hut, Quarry and Clay Pit, and watch a lone campfire in the woods grow into a thriving village.

WHY IT WORKS

The hardest part of studying, working or doing deep work is resisting the urge to pick up your phone.

FocusVille turns productivity into a cozy focus game. Every minute away from distractions produces something you can see, keep and use to build your village. Breaking focus does not just stop the timer—it costs your village its harvest.

Whether you use it as a Pomodoro timer, study timer, productivity timer or deep work timer, FocusVille gives every completed session a meaningful reward.

FEATURES

• Gamified Pomodoro-style focus sessions lasting 15, 25, 45, 60 or 90 minutes
• A cozy pixel-art study game that rewards focused work
• A living village that grows with every completed focus session
• Three buildings to upgrade: Timber Hut for wood, Quarry for stone and Clay Pit for clay
• Strict Focus Mode—leave the app during a session and your reward is forfeited
• Block distracting apps during sessions using iOS Screen Time app blocking
• Track productivity with daily and weekly trends, a monthly heatmap, longest streak and personal records
• Receive a gentle notification when your study or focus session is complete
• Works completely offline with no account or sign-up required

BEAT DISTRACTIONS AND PROCRASTINATION

FocusVille is designed for students, professionals, writers, developers and anyone who wants to stop procrastinating, reduce screen time and build better focus habits.

• Studying for exams

PRIVACY FIRST
