Focus in short sessions and watch your garden grow. Porotimer is a Pomodoro focus timer that turns every focus session into a tree. Plan your tasks, block distracting apps while you work, and see your progress grow into a garden, one session at a time. Built for brains that wander: short focus blocks, a visual garden that shows your progress, and app blocking to cut distractions. It helps if you have ADHD, or if you just get distracted easily. --- [+] Focus Garden • Every focus session you finish plants a tree. The longer you focus, the bigger it grows. • Choose which trees to plant, earn Sun as you focus, and collect seasonal and rare trees. • Look back over a week or a month of focus as a garden, and keep your streak alive. [+] Block distracting apps • Pick the apps that pull you away. Porotimer blocks them only while a focus session runs, using Apple's Screen Time. • Your app choices stay on your device. [+] A timer that fits how you work • Custom focus, short break and long break lengths. • Flows: save your favourite timer and sound setups and switch in a tap. • Focus music, ticking and relaxing break sounds that keep playing in the background. [+] Tasks, projects and notes • Add a task in seconds and pick what to focus on right from the timer. • Group tasks into projects, and keep a daily note of what you did. [+] Always in view • Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. • Home Screen widgets for your timer, today's focus and your garden. [+] Works across devices • Your sessions, tasks, notes and garden sync between iPhone, iPad and the Porotimer web app. --- [+] Who is Porotimer for? • Students studying for exams • Professionals who need deep work blocks • Creators, developers and writers • Anyone who struggles with distractions or procrastination --- Porotimer Pro Some features, such as app blocking, rare trees, full garden history and more sounds, need a Porotimer Pro subscription. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.
