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. ⢠DECORATE YOUR NEST Choose Poddaki's look, a timer background, and focus and break motions. Your timer changes right away. Looks marked Pro, like dark Podark and the Halloween skins, open with Pomodak Pro or with a short pass paid in feathers. ⢠COLLECT FEATHERS Earn feathers when you focus for 25 minutes or finish your first focus of the day, and more when you focus several days in a row. Spend them on 1-day or 7-day passes for Pro looks, and see what you earned and spent in your feather history. ⢠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. Days in a row link up on the calendar. ⢠STAMPS AND SHARE CARDS Collect achievement stamps as you focus, and pick the stamp that marks your calendar. Turn a day, a week or a month of focus into a card to share, with Poddaki's face and 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 and no ads. Your sessions stay on your device, and you can export them as CSV or JSON anytime. Purchases are checked with the App Store through RevenueCat using an anonymous ID. ⢠POMODAK PRO Timers, records, reminders, the calendar, D-day, export, the widget, white noise, share cards, stamps, the basic nest looks and feathers are free. Pomodak Pro opens every nest look, including Podark, Halloween Light, Halloween Dark and the ghost motion Pomodak Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. If you installed Pomodak before version 1.15.0, Pro is yours as a thank-you to early users. Built by one person who wanted a focus timer that respects your attention.

Make room for your next focused session. Bloom brings flexible timers, practical planning, and personal insights together in a calm space for studying and getting things done. FIND YOUR RHYTHM Choose adjustable Pomodoro focus sessions and short or long breaks, or use Flow mode to track an open-ended session. When starting feels difficult, try a 2- or 5-minute Tiny Start. Pause, resume, and set up the rhythm that suits your work. TURN PLANS INTO PROGRESS Organize tasks, set focus targets, and work toward goals with deadlines. Choose a daily target and give each session a clear intention. Keep your next step visible without turning your plan into a wall of numbers. UNDERSTAND YOUR FOCUS Review your session history, task completions, and weekly progress. Optional check-ins help you notice distraction patterns and explore what helps you start, stay with a task, and return after an interruption. Correct recorded work when your history needs an adjustment. MAKE DISTRACTIONS EASIER TO HANDLE Park a thought for later, prepare a small first action, and explore the offline Field Guide for practical focus exercises. Use optional rain, waves, or hush while the app is active. A CALMER PLACE TO STUDY Switch between day and night themes, choose a pixel companion, and see its progress grow alongside your completed sessions. On supported devices, Live Activities and completion alerts help you keep track of your timer. Alert availability depends on your device and system permissions. PRIVATE AND READY OFFLINE No account is required. Bloom saves your tasks, goals, settings, and history on your device and works offline. There are no ads or cross-device sync. Deleting the app removes its local data. Whether you are preparing for an exam, reading a chapter, or finishing a project, start with one manageable session.
