StayPaws is a focus timer that helps you beat procrastination, stay off your phone, and build lasting productivity habits — while caring for your own virtual dog. Distracted by your phone? You're not alone. The average person picks up their phone 96 times a day. StayPaws flips the script: every minute you stay focused earns rewards for a virtual dog that depends on you. It's a simple idea that works — because it turns willpower into something you can see. HOW IT WORKS Pick a virtual dog from a growing collection of companions. Set a focus timer — 15, 25, 45 minutes or custom. Stay focused until the session ends. Your dog earns a meal every time you complete a session. Hit milestones to unlock rare breeds, accessories, and new items. Skip a session? Your dog gets hungry. It's a small, fun accountability system that keeps you coming back — and that's the point.
