Focus feels easier with a little company. Cappy the capybara soaks in his hot spring while you work. He paddles, dozes, climbs out to play in the garden, and brings you a little gift every time you finish. Give up early and he gets a bit sad, so you'll want to stay. FOCUS YOUR WAY • Pick 5 to 60 minutes, or set your own timer • Strict: other apps are blocked and there's no pausing. Hold to give up • Whitelist: only the apps you choose stay open • Relax: no blocking, just you and Cappy LITTLE GOALS, KIND STREAKS • Set a daily focus goal and watch the ring fill • Three little quests a day, and a chest to open when they're done • A cosy challenge every month, with a keepsake to keep COSY SOUNDS • Lo-fi music for every season • Koto garden: a gentle Japanese-style melody • Soft rain or hot-spring water • Lo-fi plays alongside your own music, even with your phone on silent GIFTS, TOYS AND SEASONS • Earn 10 XP for every 5 minutes of focus • Cappy brings you a tangerine, a beach ball or a daisy, and plays with them in the garden • Unlock cherry blossom, autumn leaves and snow as you level up FOCUS TOGETHER • Invite up to 4 friends with a link • Start a focus and it starts for everyone in the room • Their pets visit your garden while you all focus • No account needed ALWAYS WITH YOU • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets • Live Activity countdown in the Dynamic Island • Day and night scenes that follow your iPhone • Weekly tracker with minutes, sessions and streaks • Upright or sideways on iPhone, and every way round on iPad PURRDUCTIVE PRO Biscuit the Shiba is free too, with his backyard, a rope toy to start and two more toys to earn as you level up.
