Mofu is a cozy Pomodoro focus timer for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. One Mofu Pro unlock works across all your devices, so you can focus with the same gentle companion wherever you study or work. Widgets, Live Activities, and Dynamic Island keep your focus visible outside the app. Check today, weekly, and monthly progress from widgets, follow an active timer on the Lock Screen, and glance at Dynamic Island on supported iPhone models. Start a focus session, stay with your pet, and turn every completed block of time into visible progress in your pasture.

You sat down to get things done. An hour later, you're still scrolling. A quick check turns into endless feeds, videos, and headlines — and the work, the studying, the things that actually matter slide to "later." When you finally look up, all that's left is the same quiet guilt: another day, nothing moved. It's not that your willpower is weak. These apps are engineered by the smartest people and the biggest budgets in the world to do one thing: take your time. So Focusity stopped fighting them on willpower alone. Instead, the time you spend off your phone turns into something you can see — a world wonder, rising one stage at a time. It turns "resisting" into "building." HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick how long you want to focus (15–120 minutes) and start 2. Every focused minute builds a world landmark — Machu Picchu, the Sagrada Família, and more — stage by stage 3. Finish it, and it's yours to keep in your collection Optional: choose apps to block, and they stay locked during your session Because the payoff is something you can actually see, it's a habit that sticks. BUILT FOR YOU IF • You reach for your phone without thinking, and nothing gets done • Plain focus timers felt too cold to stick with • You want to cut your screen time — but actually enjoy doing it FEATURES — Focus, and Wonders Rise While you focus, a diorama slowly takes shape. Machu Picchu, the Taj Mahal, the floating torii of Itsukushima, the Sagrada Família — build the world's landmarks with your own focus. — Ambient Sounds for Deep Focus Rainfall, ocean waves, a forest breeze, alpha waves. Put on a study-friendly soundscape and sink into your work. — Block Apps & Sites Auto-block the apps and websites you don't want to open during a session (powered by iOS Screen Time). Try to open one, and the landmark you're building asks: "Quit now?" The more you block, the faster you build — up to a 2x boost. — Home Screen Widget Your building-in-progress and today's focus time, right on your Home Screen. You see how far you've come without opening the app — and your hand stops reaching for the phone. — Collection Every finished landmark goes into your collection. The row of wonders you've built is proof of every minute you stayed focused. — Bonuses That Keep You Moving Early stages finish fast, so your first sense of progress comes quickly. And if you keep resisting your phone after the timer ends, that time counts toward your build as a bonus. — AI Craft: A City That's Only Yours Enter any theme and AI generates a one-of-a-kind city, made just for you — your own companion to keep you focused. — Share Share your finished landmarks and original cities to social media in a single tap. FOCUSITY PREMIUM • Build premium-exclusive landmarks like Kinkaku-ji and Mont-Saint-Michel • Pick exactly which landmark to build (free plan: random) • See finished landmarks at sunset and lit up at night • View them close-up, looking up, and from the other side • Build the original cities you made with AI Craft • Show your finished builds on the widget • Use all six ambient soundscapes PRIVACY Your focus time and building data are stored on your iPhone. Note: only when you use the AI Craft feature, the theme you enter is sent to a server to generate your city (the images are AI-generated). SUBSCRIPTION • Payment is charged to your Apple ID account • Auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends • Manage or cancel anytime in iPhone Settings → Subscriptions Terms of Use: https://hiro0211.github.io/focusity-legal/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://hiro0211.github.io/focusity-legal/privacy.html
