Simbo keeps your focus sessions calm, simple, and rewarding. Pomodoro made easy: Start focus blocks, choose short or long breaks, and stay on pace with gentle reminders. Simulation-style progress: Every finished session earns in-app coins you can spend later—there are no real-money purchases. Coin economy: Save your focus coins, stake them in the in-app bank, and watch the balance grow with passive interest as you keep studying. Interest system: Daily streaks boost the rate; logging in on time helps you collect extra rewards. Home upgrades: Visit the “Room” tab to buy decorations, furniture, and even invite special companions—each item marks a new productivity milestone. Student-built for everyone: Designed by a student who needed a simple focus buddy; no ads, no clutter, just a clean timer. Offline first, optional sync: Works entirely offline. Turn on iCloud sync to carry your coins, stats, and room design to other Apple devices. Start a session, earn coins for every block you finish, invest wisely, decorate your virtual space, and stay motivated day after day.
