Pomodoro Timer is a focus timer for work and study: 25 minutes of work, a short break, and a long one every four rounds. You change any of those numbers. Nothing to sign up for. The timer runs against a fixed end time, so locking the screen, switching apps or iOS closing the app in the background does not stop it. WHAT IT DOES • Pomodoro timer with your own work, short break and long break lengths • Focus modes: ready-made presets and your own, each with its own lengths and sounds • Seven ambient sounds generated live — rain, waves, brown noise and more • Live Activity and Dynamic Island: the phase and the time left on your Lock Screen • Home Screen widget • Stats by day and week: sessions finished and time focused • Auto-continue with a countdown before the next phase, or straight through • A notification the moment a session ends COMMON QUESTIONS Does the timer keep running with the screen locked? Yes. It counts against a fixed end time, so locking the phone, switching apps or even iOS closing the app in the background does not stop it. Leave notifications on and you get the alert when the session ends. Do I need an account? No. There is no login and no sign-up. Does it work offline? Yes. What is free and what is Premium? The timer, the breaks, the ambient sounds and the stats are free, with ads. Premium removes the ads and unlocks every focus mode and as many custom modes as you want. You can also unlock a mode temporarily by watching a short video. Can I change the 25 minutes? Yes, and the breaks too. The classic numbers are only the default. Where do I get help? Settings has a Help screen inside the app, with the questions people actually write in about.

Endura is the study app that makes focus feel like something worth fighting for. Set your timer, watch your egg come alive on screen, and stay in the app — because the moment you try to leave, Endura reminds you: your egg won’t survive without you. When time’s up, crack it open. Inside is a rare, real-world endangered animal, released into your personal sanctuary to roam, rest, and grow your collection. Features: ∙ STUDY TIMER — Choose your subject, set a timer, and focus. Our distraction-free timer keeps you motivated with gentle reminders — leave early and your egg might not make it. ∙ HATCH ENDANGERED ANIMALS — Every completed study session hatches a new endangered species — from Amur Leopards to Pangolins. Nickname them, learn about their conservation status, and build your sanctuary. ∙ PERSONALISE YOUR SANCTUARY — spend Eco-Credits on accessories and decorations (yes, your panda can wear a party hat) ∙ PROTECT REAL WILDLIFE — Donate directly to WWF conservation projects from inside the app. 100% of donations go to protecting habitats and endangered species worldwide. ∙ Progress Tracking — weekly, monthly, and subject-by-subject breakdowns with visual charts ∙ Global Leaderboards — compete with friends, classmates, and students worldwide ∙ Animal Study Tips Feed — scroll through unconventional, actually useful, research-backed study tips delivered by your animals ∙ To-Do Lists & Badges — stay organised and get rewarded for every milestone Endura took what makes social media impossible to put down — streaks, leaderboards, collections, social comparison — and redirected it somewhere that actually matters. Built by a 16-year-old IB student who believes her generation can truly change the course for endangered species. Endura is youth-led, free to use, and designed to make every study session count.
