Focus Zoo vs Pet Pause

Stay focused. Earn paws. Grow your zoo. Focus Zoo turns focus time into something you can see. Set a timer, put your phone down and get to work. Every 5 minutes of focus earns you a paw. Spend paws to bring new animals into your zoo. PICK A TIME Drag the slider to set a session from 5 minutes to 3 hours. Press start and let your animal keep you company. STAY FOCUSED Tap the screen to dim it while you work. The screen stays awake, so the timer keeps running. EARN PAWS Finish a session and collect your paws. Stop early and you go home empty-handed, so stick with it. GROW YOUR ZOO Start with Panda, then unlock Bunny, Frog, Tiger and Whale. Each new friend takes a little more focus to earn. HATS AND CROWNS Every animal remembers the time you spend together. Focus for 1 hour with an animal to earn its propeller hat. Reach 10 hours and it wears a crown. Swap hats or take them off anytime in the store. SEE YOUR PROGRESS The Stats screen shows your focus time week by week and month by month, so you can see your habit grow. WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT • Simple: one slider, one button • Rewarding: cute animals and hats to earn • Honest: no ads, no in-app purchases, no accounts • Good for studying, work, reading, writing or any task that needs your full attention Put the phone down. Your zoo is waiting.

Pet Pause is a quiet Pomodoro timer for people who like working in focused blocks — and who could use a little company on their breaks. Start a focus session. While the timer counts down on your Dynamic Island and lock screen, the app stays out of your way. When the session ends, a small animal companion slides into view and stays with you through your break. That's the whole app. — FROM THE PET GATEKEEPER FAMILY — Pet Pause is the mobile companion to Pet Gatekeeper, the browser extension that lets cats and dogs wander across your screen between tabs.
