Sprout is a Pomodoro timer and focus timer that grows a plant while you work. Start a Pomodoro session, put your phone down, and a plant grows from sprout to full bloom. Stop early and you keep it. A calm productivity app, study timer, ADHD focus timer and app blocker in one. Built for students, remote workers, people with ADHD and anyone who wants to stay focused, stop procrastination and cut screen time. No coins. No events. No pop-ups. Just a Pomodoro timer, a plant and your focus. POMODORO TIMER & FOCUS TIMER • Pomodoro timer presets: 15, 25, 45, 60 and 90 minutes, or any focus session from 10 minutes to 3 hours of deep work • One screen to start: pick a Pomodoro length, pick a plant, tap "Plant & focus" • See exactly what will grow before you start the focus timer • Study timer, work timer, reading timer: tag every Pomodoro as Study, Work, Read or your own tags • The Pomodoro technique made visual: 25 minutes of focus reaches a bud, 50 minutes blooms, 90 minutes is full bloom STAY FOCUSED, GROW A GARDEN • Every finished focus session lands in your garden, a visual record of your productivity • 20 plants to collect: sunflower, tulip, basil, cactus, rose, fern, succulent, lavender, orchid, strawberry, lemon tree, monstera, hydrangea, bonsai, Venus flytrap, mushrooms, pumpkin, cherry blossom, Japanese maple and olive tree • Plants are unlocked with focus time.
