Finish a focus session, flip the card, reveal your reward. A gamified Pomodoro timer built for ADHD brains — and anyone whose dopamine plays games. IF ANY OF THIS SOUNDS LIKE YOU: • You have 47 tabs open and can't start the one task that matters. • You know what to do, but your brain refuses to do it. • Boring productivity apps feel like punishment. • You need a reward NOW, not "someday." …then this is for you. KEY FEATURES: • Reveal-the-Card Reward System: Complete a session > Tap the card > Watch it flip > Claim your reward. The anticipation drives you to finish. • Variable Rewards: Sometimes you'll find a treat. Sometimes the card is empty. The surprise is what keeps you coming back to finish the next session. • Dopamine Menu: Build your own reward list. From a "coffee break" to a "new gadget" — you choose what motivates you. • Built for ADHD Brains: Visual timers and instant feedback help you get unstuck and beat the "Wall of Awful." • Premium Design: A beautiful, aesthetic interface that feels great to use every day. • Flexible Timer: Classic Pomodoro or your own custom flow — the timer adapts to you. • Live Activities: Track your focus from the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. • Streaks & Strikes: Watch your consistency compound, 1% at a time. • Smart Reminders: Stay on track without being annoying. WHO LOVES IT: • Students fighting procrastination during exams and deep study. • ADHD & neurodivergent minds tired of boring timers that feel like a chore. • Writers, coders, and creators who need a motivation system, not more willpower. • Anyone whose to-do list outlives their motivation. WHY IT WORKS: Most productivity apps shame you for failing. This one rewards you for trying. By using a Variable Reward System, focus stops feeling like a battle. You don't need more willpower. You need a system that works WITH your brain, not against it. 1% BETTER EVERY DAY: You don't need to overhaul your life overnight. Show up, finish one session, flip the card. Watch the compound effect take over. Create a positive feedback loop where effort equals satisfaction. Stop fighting your brain. Start flipping the card.
