Sweet Time is a focus tool that combines time management with light gamification elements. Using the Pomodoro technique, it guides users to stay engaged and productive during each focus session — while gradually building and running their very own pixel-art sweet shop. Focus that's not just effective, but genuinely fun and rewarding. 【Core Features】 1. Pomodoro Timer A 25 or 30-minute focus countdown. While a session is running, other apps on your phone cannot be used. 2. Bake a Treat Complete a Pomodoro, craft a dessert. Every session, something sweet. 3. Run Your Sweet Shop Complete sessions, bake treats, sell them — earn coins and unlock more desserts in your collection. 4. Focus Stats Track your daily and weekly focus time at a glance, helping you build a lasting focus habit.

POTATO is a flow-first focus timer for people who do not want another rigid Pomodoro clone. Create projects like Learn English or Build My Startup, start a focus session, and POTATO keeps your running total for today and all time.

What makes POTATO different: • Project-based time tracking • Today and lifetime totals • Custom focus and break lengths • Full-screen focus mode on iPhone and iPad • Live Activity support on iPhone • Playful progress animations, including fries, boba, coffee, ramen, plant, campfire, and milk themes • Optional Google or Apple sign-in for cross-device sync • Premium app and website blocking, strict mode, schedules, advanced stats, and smarter focus rules POTATO helps you build momentum by making your time visible, calm, and a little more fun.
