Lumea is an iPhone focus timer with flexible sessions, focus stats, pet growth, and collectible rewards. Use it for studying, work, reading, or any time you want to put your phone down. ◆ Focus timer • Choose a session from 5 to 120 minutes in 5-minute steps • Pause and resume; an active timer can be restored after locking your phone, switching apps, or reopening Lumea • Track study, work, reading, exercise, or your own custom focus categories • If you end early, completed full focus minutes still count toward stats and base rewards ◆ Focus history and stats A session is recorded after at least one full focus minute. Review individual records in your timeline and use weekly category totals to see where your focused time went. ◆ Pet growth and collecting Completed focus sessions give your pet XP and add hatching progress to the current egg. You can: • Hatch and collect 24 watercolor pets • Mix keepsakes, outfits, tools, and available badges in any slot—up to 3 per pet for free users or 6 with Membership—and adjust each item's position, size, rotation, and layer order • Create a saveable, shareable watercolor Moment after a completed session • Build progress across pets, places, collections, and milestones by focusing Lumea has no hunger meter, energy limit, or required daily chores. Taking time away from the app never makes your pet worse or removes progress you already earned. ◆ Apple Health boosts (optional) You can choose to connect Apple Health. If yesterday's steps or last night's sleep meet the goals, the current session receives a boost to pet XP and the current egg's hatching progress. Not granting access does not affect core features or base rewards. ◆ Free features and optional membership Start immediately in Guest mode. Free users can access every core feature. Lumea Membership is an optional monthly auto-renewable subscription that provides ×1.5 pet XP and hatching progress earned from focus time, a one-time Starisle Cloak welcome outfit per Lumea account, and a member badge. Fixed hatching bonuses are not multiplied. Membership does not change drop rates, pity counters, or the range of free features. Eligible Apple accounts can receive one 7-day free trial. Unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, the subscription renews automatically. Your Apple account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. A free trial converts to a paid subscription when it ends; cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends to avoid a charge. Manage or cancel in Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions.
