Purrmodoro is the pomodoro timer for study that turns focus into a cozy game. Start a focus session and your cat keeps you company while you work. Finish it and you earn coins, XP and treats. Stay focused, build streaks and grow a collection of 55 adorable cats. A study timer that feels like a game, and a focus timer that actually helps you get started. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a pomodoro session: 15, 25, 45 or 60 minutes, or your own length. 2. Focus while your cat studies with you. The timer keeps counting in the background, even with the app closed. 3. When time is up, collect your coins and XP, then take a short break. Every fourth break is a long one. 4. Spend coins on treats, feed and pet your cat, unlock new cats and level them up.

PREMIUM — PURCHASE REQUIRED: All features described below are part of Pro and require a purchase: a weekly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Set the timer, start the sprint, and give the next 25 minutes to one thing. PomoTick runs the classic Pomodoro Technique — 25 minutes of focus, 5 of rest, a long break every fourth round — for anyone studying for exams or trying to get real work done. The difference: your focus leaves a trace. Every completed session grows a plant in your garden. A distracted day looks bare. A focused week looks alive. That little patch of pixels turns out to be a surprisingly effective boss. WHAT YOU GET • One tap and the ring starts counting — 25/5 by default, or any length from 5 to 90 minutes • A garden that grows one plant per finished sprint, so you can see yesterday's effort instead of guessing • Breaks that run themselves — short breaks auto-start, and the fourth round earns the long one • Rain, café, forest, white noise, or ocean waves that keep playing with the screen locked • Tasks with their own colors and session goals — thesis, bar exam, client project — plus charts showing which one actually got your hours • A streak counter and daily goal that make skipping a day feel expensive PERFECT FOR • Students grinding through exam season one 25-minute block at a time • Writers and programmers who need the door closed on distraction • Remote workers whose five-minute break keeps becoming an hour • Anyone who has read about the Pomodoro Technique and wants it to finally stick WHY NOT JUST USE THE CLOCK APP A bare countdown ends and evaporates. PomoTick keeps score: sessions logged, streaks counted, hours charted by task over 7, 14, and 30 days — so Friday-you knows exactly what Monday-you did. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Every session, task, and chart lives on your iPhone. No account, no cloud, no tracking. PREMIUM (PURCHASE REQUIRED) PomoTick requires PomoTick Pro, which unlocks everything: all ambient soundscapes, unlimited tasks, 14- and 30-day charts with the focus-by-task breakdown, and all four garden themes — Meadow, Autumn, Sakura, and Desert Bloom. Choose a weekly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Plant the first tomato: your next 25 minutes start with one tap.
