Focus Fish transforms your focus time into a vibrant, ever-growing coral reef. Set a timer for yoga, study, work, or play, then stay on task to earn coins and gems you can spend to customize your own underwater world. As you complete sessions, you’ll unlock new sea creatures, decorations, and diver skins, placing each reward to design a reef that visually reflects your progress and grows richer with every focused moment. The more consistently you focus, the more alive your ocean becomes. Collect golden diamonds to unlock special treasures like rare fish, axolotls, submarines, and other unique additions to your tank. Kids and adults alike enjoy building their dream aquarium as a tangible reward for staying on track. Explore your creation by rotating the tank and guiding your diver through the reef, and use this serene underwater world to relax, decompress, and stay motivated over time.

FocusTown is a gamified deep-work timer: every focus session you finish earns coins that build a cozy pixel town, block by block. Stay off your phone, and a tiny hamlet slowly becomes a thriving city. Pay once and it's yours forever — no subscription, no ads, and nothing about you is ever collected. HOW IT WORKS 1. Start a focus session — Pomodoro-style or a custom length. 2. Put your phone down and do the work. 3. Earn coins for every session you complete. 4. Spend them to build and upgrade houses, libraries, parks and more. WHY YOU'LL STICK WITH IT — See your progress: abstract "focus time" becomes a town you can actually look at and feel proud of. — Build real habits: streaks and gentle momentum keep you coming back, day after day. — Calm by design: no social feeds, no attention-grabbing notifications, no endless scroll. — Your data stays yours: the app collects nothing. Nothing to leak, nothing to sell. — Pay once: unlock everything with a single one-time purchase — never a subscription. FEATURES — Flexible focus timer for work, study, reading, writing or mindfulness. — A cozy town builder with unique, beautifully styled buildings to collect and arrange. — Clear statistics: track daily, weekly and monthly focus trends. — Ambient sounds to help you settle in and block out distractions.
