## What is Ripen?

Ripen turns the pomodoro technique into a small daily ritual: every focus session you complete becomes a tomato in your orchard. Three tomatoes make a full cycle. Over weeks the orchard fills up. It's a quieter, more rewarding way to track deep work than another bar chart.

A FOCUS TIMER, MADE CAREFULLY
- 15, 25, 45, 60 or 90 minute sessions
- Short and long breaks, with optional auto-start
- Hold the tomato to abandon — no accidental cancels
- Wall-clock accurate even if you background the app

FIVE AMBIENT SCENES
- Café murmur · Rain · Forest · Fireplace · Ocean
- Seamless gapless looping with crossfade — no audible seams every minute
- One-tap mute, mixable with your own music or podcast

A LITTLE ORCHARD OF YOUR OWN
- Every completed focus grows a tomato in its category
- Categories you can name, color and add to (work, study, reading, side project, anything)
- Daily goal rings, weekly streaks, a clean stats view that's actually nice to look at

APPLE WATCH BUILT IN
- Run a session straight from your wrist
- Sessions auto-sync to iPhone via WatchConnectivity
- A launcher complication keeps Ripen one tap away on your watch face

CALM, NOT GAMIFIED
- No notifications nagging you
- No streaks shaming you
- No leaderboards, social feeds, or "premium upsell" pop-ups

100% OFFLINE, 100% PRIVATE
- No account, no email, no sign-in
- No analytics, no trackers, no third-party SDKs
- All your data lives on your device — see our Privacy Policy

WORKS IN ENGLISH AND SIMPLIFIED CHINESE
- Switch in Settings any time

Three to nine completed tomatoes a day is plenty for most people. Plant the first one and see how the orchard grows.
