PomoMon

■ Focus that feels rewarding. PomoMon is a Pomodoro Timer × Monster Collection app. “I’m motivated, but I lose focus quickly.” “I can’t stick with regular timer apps.” On days like that, PomoMon is here for you. Every 25 minutes of focus turns into “eggs,” and after your break, a hatching moment awaits. Each work session becomes a small event. That is the PomoMon experience. ■ What we value PomoMon supports “a day where you made a little progress” rather than “a perfect day.” Instead of flashy effects, we offer a small reward waiting after focused work. If that makes you want to open the app again tomorrow, we’d be happy. ■ Recommended for people who want to: ・Keep studying, working, or creating without burnout ・Use Pomodoro, but found it too monotonous to continue ・Boost motivation with a game-like experience ・Focus alongside cute characters ■ Main Features 【Pomodoro Timer】 Build a steady rhythm of focus and breaks. Start instantly from the home screen. With Live Activities, you can also check remaining time from the lock screen. 【Eggs & Hatching】 As you complete focus sessions, the number of hatchable eggs increases. Earn 1 egg every 5 minutes. Stay focused for 25 minutes to earn 5 eggs. 【Get Monsters via Gacha】 Use mana earned through focus and session results to pull gacha. Feel the same excitement when you hit a rare. 【Pokedex & Collection】 View all monsters you have obtained in one list. As your collection fills up, it gives you that extra push for “one more session.” 【Mana Exchange】 No luck with high-rarity monsters from hatch gacha? No problem. Use the mana you worked hard to save and exchange directly for the highest-rarity monsters. You may even get one with a low serial number. 【Timeline】 See a live timeline featuring moments like highest-rarity monster drops. Peek at everyone’s “I got it!” moments. And when you get one, show it off too! 【Task Management】 Register what you need to do today and make your focus theme clear. 【Progress Visualization】 Track your daily focus. When you can see your progress, it becomes more fun to keep going. ■ About Premium For users who want a smoother, more enjoyable long-term experience, we also offer Premium (monthly subscription), including: ad removal, extended maximum focus timer length, automatic break bonus collection, increased high-rarity drop rates, and more. Please check the app for details and pricing. ■ Contact For feedback or bug reports, please use the in-app contact option or the contact form on our official website. Now, start the timer. Which monster will you meet next? Terms of Use: https://pomomon-dc77b.web.app/en/terms_of_use/
