Turn your focus into a cozy world. Pixeldoro blends the Pomodoro technique with a pixel-art RPG. Every time you start a timer, your character moves forward, earning coins, unlocking quests and slowly building out their world. It's a study timer with just enough adventure to keep you coming back. If a plain timer is easy to ignore (hello, ADHD brains), Pixeldoro turns focus into a game so you actually want to start.
