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. Built for real study and work sessions - Classic Pomodoro and custom timers (25/5, 45/15, 15/3, 90/20, you choose) - Stopwatch mode for deep focus or longer creative sessions - Quick timer presets so getting started is frictionless - Focus tags to organize where your time goes: study, work, reading, coding An actual world you grow with - Start at a sleepy bar, unlock your apartment, then explore the city - Meet characters, complete story, daily and weekly quests, and find new items - Earn coins and rewards just by showing up and focusing - Every session gets you closer to unlocking something new Social, but low-pressure - See other people focusing alongside you in real time, like a study-with-me room - Add people you meet as friends - Visit your friends' houses and focus together inside each other's spaces - Check out public profiles and see how others are progressing Your cozy space, your vibe - Customize your character with outfits and cosmetics - Spend the coins you earn in the shop to decorate your apartment - Six built-in radio stations of lofi beats and chill music to match your mood Stats that actually feel good - Track daily streaks and session history - See where your study and work time really goes - Watch your progress stack up, week after week Made to follow you - Play on your desktop or mobile, wherever you feel like focusing - Create an account to sync your progress across devices Pixeldoro is for people who want to feel a bit more alive while getting things done. Students, people with ADHD, builders, indie devs, burnt-out knowledge workers: anyone who wants to stay consistent without burning out. It's still early. Built in public. New stuff lands weekly. hello@pixeldoro.io pixeldoro.io youtube.com/@pixeldoro instagram.com/pixeldoro x.com/pixeldoro tiktok.com/@pixeldoro twitch.tv/pixeldoro
RPG Tasks

Turn your daily effort into progress you can see. RPG Tasks brings together a focus timer, daily quests and custom skills that level up as you get things done. Study English. Finish a workout. Build your next project. Earn XP from completed tasks and focus sessions, then look back at the effort behind each skill. GIVE EACH SESSION THE RIGHT CREDIT One project can involve different skills. Building an app today? Choose Coding for your focus session. Writing its launch page tomorrow? Choose Marketing while keeping the same project. Use your project’s default skill distribution or select one skill for an individual session. Your work stays organized, and its XP goes where it belongs. FOCUS AT YOUR OWN PACE Flow counts up from zero, so you don’t have to decide how long you’ll work before you begin. Pick a project, start the timer, and pause or stop when you need to. Completed sessions record your focus time and earn skill XP. Follow your active session with Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island on supported iPhones. SEE WHEN YOU SHOWED UP Filter your activity calendar by skill to review the tasks and focus time linked to it. Want to see whether you’ve been keeping up with fitness? Select Fitness. Reviewing your study routine? Switch to English. Tap a day to explore its activity. TURN TASKS INTO QUESTS Give everyday tasks a place in your progress. Organize quests by project, add notes, choose a difficulty and set recurring tasks for routines you want to build. Break larger tasks into subtasks and earn XP as you complete your quests. BUILD YOUR OWN SKILLS Choose what matters to you: Coding, Fitness, English, Art or something entirely your own. Each skill has its own level, XP and progress bar. Open its details to review related quests and focus contributions. Your levels reflect the effort you log, creating a record you can keep building on. UNDERSTAND WHERE YOUR TIME GOES Review focus activity by day, week or month. Compare time spent across projects and see which goals received your attention. Use that history to decide what deserves your next session. MAKE THE JOURNEY YOURS Choose an avatar, name your character and create projects around your goals. Your skills and quests can reflect the things you actually want to work on. KEEP YOUR SKILLS SHARP Skills you stop practising slowly rust, just like in real life: barely at first, more after a few weeks, and never everything you earned. Pick a skill type (Knowledge, Body, Language or Motor) and each one fades at its own pace. Come back, and every XP you earn repays rust twice as fast. FREE AND PREMIUM Start with free features and a limited number of Flow sessions. Premium unlocks unlimited Flow and additional features. Optional rewarded ads may let you earn extra sessions when available. The free version includes ads, and some features have usage limits.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pomodoro Timer at none against RPG Tasks's shown. Pomodoro Timer also leads on device support (4 vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
