Every focus session you finish becomes a little journey with your pet. Mofu brings a Pomodoro timer, cozy campsites, and keepsakes together to make it easier to begin studying, reading, or working. Available on iPhone and iPad. Choose a pet and a campsite, set your focus goal, and start. Your campsite shapes the scene for that session. When you finish, your companion returns with a discovery that makes your time feel worth remembering. With Mofu, you can: • Focus somewhere cozy. Travel through 10 themed campsites, each with its own scene and collection. • Collect memories from finished sessions. While your current collection still has souvenirs to find, each successful focus goal brings back one new souvenir, with a chance to discover a rare treasure. Revisit your finds and progress in the Journey Book. • Find a rhythm that fits. Use Normal Mode or choose Flow Mode when you want to focus without a fixed end time. Mofu Pro also unlocks Strict and Whitelist Modes to help reduce distractions. Add ambient sounds to set the mood. • See how your time adds up. Explore your focus rhythm in Statistics and Timeline; advanced insights and full history require Mofu Pro. Then visit your pets in Pasture. • Keep focus close. Widgets are available on iPhone and iPad. On iPhone, follow an active timer with Live Activities and Dynamic Island on supported models. • Make Mofu feel like yours.

A Pomodoro timer with a cat that keeps you company while you study or work. FocusCat is a simple Pomodoro timer: you press play, the kitten wakes up and moves along with your focus session. When the time is up, you both rest. WHY FOCUSCAT - Starts in one tap Open the app, press play, and your focus session begins. An account is optional, so you can try the timer before deciding anything. - Block the apps that pull you away Choose which apps to block during a session and FocusCat holds the line for you. No willpower needed to ignore a notification you never receive. The block lasts as long as the Pomodoro, then everything comes back on its own. - A cat for company The cat animation follows the timer. It is a gentle way to feel that the session is running, with no aggressive alarms and no guilt trips. - Study with friends in real time See who is in a session right now and let them see you. Studying alone is harder than studying next to someone, even when that someone is a name on a screen. Add friends and run your Pomodoro sessions together. - Earn XP for every session you finish Each completed block gives you XP and moves your level forward. Your progress comes from the time you actually focused, not from paying. - Your focus, your intervals Set the length of your focus block, your short break, and your long break. The classic Pomodoro is 25 and 5, but you can run 50 and 10 if that suits you better. - Categories that separate your work Create categories like University, Exam Prep, Work, or Reading, and see how much time went into each one. - Statistics that show the pattern Daily focus chart, study time per day, total time per category, session completion rate, focus vs break, and recent history. WHO IT IS FOR - Students preparing for exams who need a study timer they can trust - University students in the middle of a thesis, a paper, or finals - Study groups who want to focus together without being in the same room - Remote workers who reach the end of the day with no idea where the time went - Anyone who struggles with concentration and studies better in short blocks - Anyone who tried a productivity app before and quit because it was too much HOW THE POMODORO TECHNIQUE WORKS 1. Pick one task 2. Start the 25 minute Pomodoro timer 3. Work without switching tabs until the time is up 4. Take a 5 minute break 5. After four cycles, take a longer break The Pomodoro cycle is short on purpose. Starting is easier when you only have to hold out for 25 minutes, and the FocusCat kitten exists to make those 25 minutes less dry. Download FocusCat, open the Pomodoro timer, and turn your study time into a routine you can actually keep. ____________________________________ Subscription Information and Legal Terms Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
