## What is PomoGem?

Turn your next 25 minutes into a colorful gem.

PomoGem is a focus timer that turns completed time into a bottle of visible progress. Study for an exam, work on a project, or spend time with a book. Every completed session adds to a collection you can look back on. Taking a day off never removes your progress.

The app interface and customer support are currently provided in Japanese.

CHOOSE A THEME, SET YOUR TIME, AND START

Choose your theme and duration on Home, then tap to start. The 25-, 45-, 60-, and 90-minute timers are free. Finish a session and a pebble drops into your bottle with sound and haptic feedback. Each minute becomes 10 grams: a 25-minute session adds 250 grams.

FEATURES

• Free 25-, 45-, 60-, and 90-minute focus timers
• Custom themes for study and work, together in one list
• Optional manual records kept separate from measured timer sessions
• A tactile bottle: tap or lightly shake it to move the pebbles, with bounded sound and haptics that reflect their number and size
• Ten pebbles combine into a growing crystal while your original records remain available
• Milestone stones for a perfect score, an exam pass, or a work milestone
• History, overview, long-term projections, and share cards that always include PomoGem branding and its official website
• An explicit first-launch choice between private iCloud sync and storage on this iPhone only
• Privacy-safe Home and Lock Screen widgets that open the app without displaying your records

POMOGEM PRO

PomoGem Pro is a one-time, non-consumable In-App Purchase. It unlocks custom durations from 1 minute 00 seconds to 360 minutes 00 seconds, beyond the free presets, plus month labels on grouped pebbles. Enter minutes and seconds numerically or choose them with scroll wheels. Update both devices to the latest version before handing off a timer set with seconds. There is no subscription, free trial, or automatic renewal.

PRIVACY

PomoGem has no advertising, tracking, analytics service, or developer account system. At first launch, you choose between two equal storage options. “This iPhone only” keeps all app data on the device and supports all basic features without an Apple Account or network connection. It never automatically switches to or uploads to iCloud.

If you confirm iCloud sync, theme names, achievement notes, records, settings, and the active timer sync through your Apple Account's private iCloud storage between compatible iPhones. Initial loading and resuming sync require online account and storage checks.

When previously verified device data meets the access conditions, you can use timers and records offline in iCloud mode. Changes stay on this iPhone while sync waits. Account changes or conflicting history can block access to protect your data. Returning to the app after online use may require quitting and reopening it. A successful connection check does not confirm that every record has uploaded.

Change storage in Settings. Enabling iCloud can use the existing iCloud data, deleting and replacing this iPhone's local-only themes, records, and settings. The two histories are not merged. Disabling iCloud copies verified data to this iPhone and keeps the iCloud data. Replacing all iCloud data with this iPhone's data is unavailable to protect records.

Storage changes require a connection and app restarts as instructed. Do not delete the app during a transfer. Deleting it erases local-only records and changes not yet uploaded to iCloud. Exported JSON cannot be imported into PomoGem to restore or migrate records. Sharing and export happen only when you choose them.
