What's New in Mr. Tapioca

1.2.0

September 1, 2026

One tap at the counter. Your partner reward used to make you wait for a code and read it out to the cashier. Now the card shows the shop and the perk instantly, you tap once, and it stamps itself. Your progress toward the next real reward shows on the finish screen and in Settings too, instead of being buried in the map. Pomodoro. A third timer preset that runs work and breaks back to back inside one session. Your blocked apps stay locked through the breaks, so a five minute rest is a rest and not an escape hatch. Study Squad went live. Turn on "let friends see when I'm brewing" and your squad can see you studying right now, and you can see them. The leaderboard resets every Monday, so a bad week is only ever a week. And sharing your code finally sends a real link your friend can just tap. Your week in boba. A share card with your hours, your best day, your streak and the shape of your week. He reacts now. End a session and your little guy is genuinely sad about the drink. Not about you. Seasonal flavours. Pumpkin spice, peppermint mocha, cherry blossom and a finals week espresso, each around for its own part of the year and yours forever once you unlock one. Plus a weekly quest and seven new badges. Thanks for using this thing. Email me if anything breaks.

User reviews

Makes studying more enjoyable!

Mr. Tapioca helps me study for my hardest classes and gives me the motivation I need to push through those otherwise boring study sessions. This app is really great!

A much-needed study support

Mr. Tapioca is a godsend! While completing a focus session, I felt secure in the knowledge that Mr. Tapioca was keeping track of time for me - so I was able to complete a meaningful task, instead of letting time slip away! I did not miss my blocked addictive app (IG), because I looked forward to the accomplishment of a successfully completed session. I can’t wait for some real-world boba rewards to be set up in my area!😋
