## What is Shimpaku?

Shimpaku is a focus timer with a garden that grows.

Set a length, press Start, and put the phone down. When the session ends, a watering can tends your bonsai. Finish enough sessions and the tree moves to its next stage.

HOW IT WORKS
• Choose a session length from 5 to 60 minutes.
• Start. The garden stays on screen while you work: a tree, a stone lantern, raked sand.
• When time is up you get a quiet notification, even with the phone locked.
• Take a short break, or extend by ten minutes if you are in the middle of something.

A GARDEN THAT KEEPS YOUR PROGRESS
• Three bonsai to grow: Shimpaku (juniper), Momiji (Japanese maple) and Kuromatsu (black pine).
• Each tree grows through six hand-illustrated stages, and each keeps its own progress.
• A calendar stamps every day you completed a session.
• Simple stats for the week, the month and all time.

MADE TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY
• No account and no sign-in.
• No ads, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases.
• Works fully offline. Everything is stored on your device.
• Optional sound and vibration, a reduced-motion mode, and support for larger text.

Shimpaku does not collect any data. You can erase everything at any time from Settings.

Shimpaku is a timer. It is not a medical or health product.
