## What is FocusVille?

FocusVille is a Pomodoro timer that turns your focus time into a cozy pixel-art village. Start a focus session, put your phone down, and your villager gets to work chopping wood, mining stone and digging clay. Finish the session and the resources are yours. Leave early and the day's work is lost. A study timer, work timer, app blocker and village-building game in one — made for students, remote workers, people with ADHD and anyone who wants to stop procrastination and cut screen time.

No ads. No account. No pop-ups. Just a timer, a village and your concentration.

POMODORO TIMER & STUDY TIMER
• Presets from 15 to 90 minutes, for a quick reset or a long block of deep work
• One screen to start: pick a building, pick a length, tap begin
• See exactly what you will earn before the session starts
• The Pomodoro technique made visual: every finished session is a piece of your village

BUILD A VILLAGE WHILE YOU FOCUS
• Earn wood, stone and clay for every completed session
• Upgrade the Timber Hut, the Quarry and the Clay Pit
• Watch a lone campfire in the woods grow into a thriving village
• Your village is a record of every hour you stayed off your phone

REAL STAKES, FRIENDLY RULES
• Quit a session early and you lose that session's loot — nothing else
• No guilt, no dead trees, no punishment for a bad day
• Short sessions work too: 15 minutes is a real start when starting is the hard part
• Day streaks reward showing up again, not perfection

BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS
• Keep the apps that pull you away out of reach while the timer runs
• Fewer interruptions, less doom scrolling, lower screen time
• Privacy first: FocusVille never sees what you block

FOCUS STATS
• Focused time today, this week and all time
• Your streak and your most productive stretch
• A simple record of your focus habit, without nagging notifications

MADE FOR
• Students: exams, homework, revision and reading with the Pomodoro technique
• Remote and deep work: time blocking, flow, time management
• ADHD focus: simple, visual, kind — a timer that works with your brain, not against it
• Writers, developers, designers and anyone building a concentration habit

PRIVATE & OFFLINE
• No account, no sync, no tracking, no ads — your data stays on your phone
• Works offline, the timer runs without a connection
• Dark, cozy pixel art and a calm soundscape

FocusVille is built by one solo developer, not a studio — no ad budget, no growth team. If it helps you focus, a rating is the single biggest thing that helps other people find it.

### 5/5 — Actually makes me want to focus

*2026-09-25*

I’ve tried a bunch of focus timers, but I really like the idea of actually building something with the time I spend focused. You earn resources after each session and slowly grow your little village, which makes putting my phone down feel way more rewarding. The pixel art is super cozy too. Simple idea, really well done.
