About

Holowork

Read full description

Holowork is for anyone who wants to manage their time well and stay present in the moment. Dig tunnels with Holdu while you focus. Every minute of concentration digs 1 meter deeper. Before you know it, you and Holdu will have built something together. Deep Focus mode blocks distracting apps during your session and lifts automatically when you're done. Track your daily focus time and depth to build a consistent habit. Every night at 10 PM, sit by the campfire with Holdu and take a break. Sometimes he reads you a poem while the fire crackles. As your tunnel deepens, so does your ability to focus.

Read full description

Pomodak is a focus timer you share with Poddaki, a tiny bird. Poddaki flies beside you while you focus, and every focus day earns a stamp on your calendar. • THREE TIMERS Pomodoro for work and break cycles, a stopwatch for open-ended sessions, or a simple countdown. Swipe to pick a duration or type it in. • AUTO REPEAT + WHITE NOISE Breaks follow focus and focus follows breaks, no taps needed. Choose rain, waves and more, and set white noise and the completion sound volumes separately. • STAMP CALENDAR A Poddaki stamp for every day you focus. See today's and this month's totals, detailed logs, and your longest streak this month. • TODAY AND MONTHLY CARDS Turn today's focus or your whole month into a card to share, with your D-day if you like. • HOME SCREEN WIDGET See today's focus time and your D-day without opening the app. • DAILY REMINDER Poddaki nudges you at the time you choose. • STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE No accounts, no ads, no servers. Your sessions stay on your device, and you can export them as CSV or JSON anytime. Free. Built by one person who wanted a focus timer that respects your attention.
