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 Pick a bird to fly with, white Poddaki or dark Podark, then choose a timer background and focus and break motions. Your timer changes right away. • 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. See them all 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. • 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. Built by one person who wanted a focus timer that respects your attention.

One round, one thing. Roundi holds you to a single task and shows the time as color: focus you can see. Turn the dial, press start, and a disc of color begins to disappear — like a kitchen timer for your attention. No numbers counting down, no notifications pulling you back. Just time, visibly running out. THE ONE RULE Leave the app — or lock the screen — before the round ends, and the round is lost, instantly. That's the whole trick: Roundi doesn't block anything, it just makes leaving cost something. (Too strict? There's a Lenient mode.) MADE FOR YOUR RITUALS • Meditate — 15 quiet minutes, watching the color fade • Study — a 50-minute block with no pings • Work — deep work sessions up to 2 hours • Train — planks, dead hangs, rest between sets Save each ritual as a tag and it becomes a one-tap start button with its own duration. SAY IT, DON'T TAP IT "Start Plank in Roundi." Between rounds, Siri sets the length, starts a tag, adds another round, or tells you your streak. Hands free — and once a round starts, nothing interrupts you. ON YOUR WRIST Roundi runs on Apple Watch too. Turn the Digital Crown, tap START, and the color sweeps away on your wrist; a tap and a chime mark the end. Watch rounds land in your iPhone's calendar, Siri works on the watch, and one rule carries over: unlock your iPhone during a watch round and the round ends. A TIMER YOU'LL WANT TO LOOK AT Choose how time drains: a clockwise disc, a color that falls or rises across the whole screen, or a spiral coil that unwinds from the outside in. Six soft colors. A chime and a soft blink of color when the round completes. EVERY ROUND, KEPT Finished rounds land as dots on your calendar, with your daily total and streak. Time becomes habit; habit becomes you. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. Your rounds stay on your device. Set a time. Stay focused. One round at a time.
