Press play and the sleeping cat opens its eyes. It stays awake with you until the session ends. This is a timer that keeps a record of the time you spend focusing. No setup, no account. β–  Two ways to focus 1) Pomodoro β€” set a length and focus. Spin the wheel anywhere from one minute to two hours. 2) Endless β€” no end time. Focus for as long as it lasts. β–  Ten minutes, one stamp Reach ten minutes in a day and the calendar gets a stamp. You don't need long sessions. What builds up is a calendar you filled in a little at a time. β–  Note what you focused on When a session ends you can tag it. Make your own β€” English, math, workout β€” and after that it's one tap. Each topic shows how much has piled up. β–  Day, week, month Day β€” see which days earned a stamp. Week β€” a bar per weekday, plus your longest day and daily average. Month β€” the whole month at a glance. β–  Eleven cats Black, White, British, Cheese, Ragdoll, Selkirk, Russian Blue, Calico, Tuxedo, Asura, Bengal. Change the cat and the whole app changes colour to match. More are on the way. β–  Even with the screen off A notification tells you when the session ends. You don't have to keep the app open. β–  Your records stay They're kept in your iCloud, so deleting the app or switching phones brings them back. You can also export them to a file. β–  Nothing is collected No account, no sign-in. We never ask for your name, email, or location. No ads, no analytics. Your records live on your device and in your own iCloud. β–  Free for your first week Everything is unlocked for 7 days from the day you first open the app β€” the full focus log and every cat skin. After that, the focus log and the paid cats lock. The timer and the black cat stay free forever. To keep the rest, unlock once. A one-time purchase, not a subscription. Available in Korean, English, and Japanese.
