## What is Tideling?

Tideling is a calm focus timer with a companion who keeps you 
company while you work.

Meet Percy, a small platypus who settles into his pond while you 
focus. Start a session, and Percy is simply there with you — no 
notifications begging for attention, no streaks to break, no 
metrics to chase.

HOW IT WORKS

Tideling uses the Pomodoro Technique: focused blocks of work 
followed by short breaks. Choose a session length — 15, 25, 45, 
or 60 minutes — tap Start Focus, and begin.

Every completed session earns Percy experience. As you focus more, 
he gradually evolves through four forms: Pebble, Ripple, Bloom, 
and Stream. There's no pressure and nothing to lose. Just steady, 
quiet progress that mirrors your own.

QUIETLY DESIGNED

Tideling is built to be calm:
- No accounts. Nothing to sign up for.
- No data leaves your phone. Your focus history stays with you.
- No analytics, no trackers, no ads.
- Works fully offline.

TIDELING PLUS

For those who want to make the space their own, Tideling Plus 
unlocks all cosmetic customization:
- Terry the Turtle, a second companion
- Percy color styles — Midnight, Lavender, and Forest
- Cozy accessories — a Star Halo, a Cup of Tea, an Open Book

Tideling Plus is available as a monthly ($3.99) or yearly ($24.99) subscription. 
Individual items can also be purchased on their own. The full 
focus timer — Percy, all four evolution forms, every session 
length — is completely free, forever.

Just you, Percy, and your focus.
