Yoruro

Yoruro helps you begin, stay with a task, and understand your focus habits without turning study into another source of pressure. Choose a desk mate, write down what you want to finish, and create a focus plan that fits your day. The timer records actual focus time, pauses, and interruptions, then turns those facts into a clear weekly view. On compatible devices, optional Apple on-device AI can break a broad goal into concrete starting points, classify interruption notes, and write a short reflection or reachable micro-goal. All time calculations and statistics are handled by app code, not by AI. Your tasks and study history stay on your device. There is no account, advertising, tracking, or third-party analytics. The timer and records remain fully available when AI is unavailable.
