About

Mochidoro

Features
Read full description

Focus. Earn a sticker. Fill your jar. Mochidoro is a cute Pomodoro focus timer for study and work, with a glass jar that fills up with the days you showed up. Pick a length (5 to 90 minutes), press start, and your cat doodles a little picture while you concentrate. Every finished session drops a hand-drawn shape into the jar. Reach your daily goal and a cat sticker falls in too. Tilt your phone and the stickers slide. Shake it and they tumble. A year from now, the jar is a year of days you actually sat down for. NO GUILT No streaks to lose. No red warnings. No "you failed". Stop a session early and nothing is taken away. Blank days are just blank. Made for anyone who gets distracted easily and does better with a gentle nudge than a nag. 80+ HAND-DRAWN CATS Coffee cats, box cats, sleepy loaves, a cat with a bouquet. Every goal you reach brings a new one, and milestones at 7, 30, 50, 100, 200 and 365 cats bring special ones. Tap "only cats" to see just your cats in the jar. A JAR YOU CAN PLAY WITH Real physics. Tilt, shake, tap the glass, drag a sticker. Tap any sticker to see the day it was earned and the note you wrote. A PAGE FOR EVERY DAY Your book has a page for each day. Paste your stickers, doodle with coloured pens, and write one line about what you worked on. Share a page as a picture. PAW COINS AND A LITTLE SHOP Earn a paw coin for every 25 minutes of focus, plus one to collect each day. Spend them on extra copies of the stickers you love, for your journal. A CAT TO SIT WITH YOU A bobblehead cat keeps you company on the Today screen. Tap its head and it wobbles. Poke it a few times and it might meow back. ALSO • Tags to see where your focus goes each month • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, Live Activity while you focus • Apple Watch: start, pause, see the time left, feel the finish • Monthly and yearly recaps you can share • Soft rain sound while you focus, and optional background music • Dark mode, like a desk lamp at night • Syncs between your devices with iCloud • English, 繁體中文, 日本語, 한국어 Free to use: the timer, the daily stickers, the jar, the journal, paw coins and the rain sound. MOCHI CLUB Join the club for the extras: seasonal cats, three more companion cats, four jar looks, nine app icons, six more focus sounds (wind, fireplace, library, café, summer outdoors, street), more paper for your book, unlimited tags, a yearly insights page, five paw coins a day, and a printable journal of each month.
