## Focus Timer ## App Blocker In a world full of distractions, FocusFlight offers a unique way to focus: turning every session into an immersive flight journey. From boarding and takeoff to staying focused in the air and landing at the end, FocusFlight combines aviation-inspired design with practical focus tools. It is more than a timer or app blocker — it is an experience that helps you avoid distractions, get into flow, and complete what matters. FocusFlight has been featured by the App Store as App of the Day. Whether you are studying, working, reading, or simply trying to put your phone down, FocusFlight helps you start with intention and end with a sense of completion. FOCUSFLIGHT FEATURES 【Immersive Flight Experience】 Opening FocusFlight feels like boarding a focus flight. Set your boarding pass, choose your task and focus duration, then begin your own deep focus journey. When the session ends, your flight lands safely with a clear sense of achievement. 【Airplane Mode, Block Distractions】 Turn on “Airplane Mode” to block distracting apps and websites during your focus session. Powered by Apple’s Screen Time integration, FocusFlight helps you stay away from interruptions and focus on what matters. 【3D Map Window View】 During your focus session, watch your journey through a 3D map window. As time passes, your flight moves across the world map, turning focus into a journey you can see and feel. 【3D Flight Routes】 Every focus session becomes a visualized flight route. See where you departed, where you are heading, and review the routes you have completed. 【Random Route Mode】 Not sure where to fly? Start with Random Route Mode. No need to choose a destination in advance — just begin focusing, and discover where you land when the session ends. 【FlightLog】 Every focus flight is saved in FlightLog. Review your departure city, landing city, focus duration, flight distance, and route history. 【Membership Cards & Flight Miles】 As your focus time and flight miles grow, you can unlock and upgrade your own membership cards. Each card marks your progress and gives your journey a stronger sense of identity. 【Multiple Map Modes】 FocusFlight offers 3D, satellite, and classic map modes. Explore routes and destinations from different perspectives, and enjoy traveling the world while staying focused. 【White Noise & Focus Music】 During each focus flight, you can turn on white noise or focus music to create a calmer environment for studying, working, or reading. From airplane ambience to soothing focus tracks, FocusFlight helps you enter a quieter, more focused state. 【Focus Records & Data Tracking】 Each session leaves a clear record, including your boarding pass, flight data, route, and focus duration. Use these records to review your focus habits and see the value of every session. 【Different Focus Types】 Choose focus types through seat options, such as study, work, reading, or creative time. Make every flight better matched to your current task, and make focusing more flexible and fun.

A pomodoro timer set in a hand-pixeled Japan. Press start. The konbini's neon hums. Rain begins on the window. For twenty-five minutes, this place breathes with your focus — and when the timer ends, a chime that belongs to the place sees you off. Twenty-five minutes is enough for the chapter you've been avoiding. The bug you keep half-fixing in your head. The reading that won't read itself. Pomotown helps you pick one. ———— FOUR PLACES TO FOCUS IN · Tokyo Konbini — fluorescent hum, rain on the window, the soft beep of a register at 2 a.m. · Kyoto Chashitsu — tatami quiet, a kettle warming, sakura drifting past shoji · Shibuya Crossing — neon flicker on wet asphalt, distant trains, a city that never quite sleeps · Lofi Bedroom — vinyl crackle, a desk lamp, rain against the glass Every frame is hand-pixeled. Every sound is recorded, not generated. The world keeps living whether you're watching or not. ———— WHAT'S IN THE APP · Classic Pomodoro — 25 minutes focus, 5 minutes break, customizable · Live Activity & Dynamic Island — your timer lives on the Lock Screen · Streak tracking — the days you showed up · A pixel town that grows with every session — yours to lose if you stop · Per-theme chimes — pick how your focus ends · Session history — local-only, never leaves your device ———— PRIVACY, BY DEFAULT No sign-up. No email. No "create an account." No analytics SDK. No ad network. We literally cannot see what you do in this app — and that's the point. ———— PAY ONCE. NO SUBSCRIPTION. ¥380 / $2.99 — one time. Yours forever, on every iPhone you own. Three days free, fully unlocked, no card required. After that, the buyout unlocks every theme, every sound, and every future update. If you don't unlock, Pomotown keeps working with one theme so your focus habit doesn't break. We were tired of timers that wanted a credit card on file. So we built one that doesn't. ———— WHO IT'S FOR · Students writing dissertations in long, quiet blocks · Writers, designers, engineers — anyone who needs the world to slow down for twenty-five minutes · People who love beautiful software and own it instead of renting it · People who turned off every notification on their phone and want their timer to feel the same way ———— FROM THE MAKER I'm one developer, building Pomotown alone. No VC, no growth team, no analytics dashboard watching what you tap. I wanted a timer that felt like a place, not a productivity tool. Quiet. Specific. Not trying to optimize me. If you find a bug — or have a town you'd like to see next — write: gijirokuman@gmail.com I read every message.
