About

My Molu

Read full description

Focus feels less lonely with Molu. Choose a task and a 15, 25, 45, or 60-minute timer. While you settle into your work, Molu quietly reads, meditates, or watches the world nearby. When a round finishes, a gentle reminder lets you know. Take a break, keep focusing, or call it a day. My Molu never starts a break timer for you. Choose sound and haptic, haptic-only, or silent reminders. Extra nudges are optional and limited to two. Completed focus sessions help you collect space fragments and condense Time Dew. Restore a rainy greenhouse and a midnight train, discover keepsakes, open new rooms, and make little personal touches for Molu in the attic workshop. Progress stays with you without streaks or expiry. Designed for real life: - Locking your phone or taking a call does not fail a focus session. - Clothes and accessories can be changed whenever you like. - Works offline, with progress saved locally on your device. - No account, ads, analytics, or tracking. - Adjust ambience, action sounds, haptics, and motion to suit your day. Background reminders depend on iOS notification permissions and your device's Silent and Focus settings. Haptic-only mode controls feedback inside the app; iOS controls notification vibration. A little world that grows with you.
