## What is Naru?

Naru is a Pomodoro timer for people who want to know where their attention actually went.

Set a focus length, pick something to focus on, and start. The clock drains as you work, breaks arrive when you want them, and every session is logged against the task you chose. Nothing to configure, nothing to manage.

THE TIMER
• Custom focus, break, and session lengths
• Breaks and focus rounds can start themselves, or wait for you
• Zen mode hides everything but the clock
• A full-screen timer that rotates with your phone

ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN
• The countdown lives on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island
• It rolls from focus to break on its own while your phone is locked
• Pause and resume without unlocking

TASKS
• Your task list doubles as a ledger of hours actually given
• Due dates with reminders
• Stop early and the minutes still count toward your day

STATS
• Today's focus, free forever
• Streaks that grow with every day you show up
• A month heatmap, trends, and a breakdown of where your time went
• Per-task history: sessions, averages, and rhythm

SOUNDSCAPES
• Six field recordings to focus to: heavy rain, ocean waves, rain on canvas, campfire, night jungle, and morning birds

NARU PRO
Unlock your full focus history — weeks, months, years, and all time — plus the month heatmap, per-task stats, daily goals, every soundscape, and strict mode, which ends a session if you leave the app.

Monthly or yearly. Cancel anytime.
