While you focus, it adventures. Lumea is an iPhone app that combines a focus timer, focus history, and pet raising. For study, work, and reading: focus on your task while your pet explores, then see what this time brings. ◆ Start focusing at your own pace • Set a 5–120 minute countdown in 5-minute steps, or start counting up without a preset duration • End a count-up session when you’re done; it ends automatically 12 hours after starting. Pausing does not extend that deadline • When leaving Lumea or locking your screen, choose to keep timing or auto-pause. After auto-pausing, return to the app and tap Resume • 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 ◆ Every return may bring a new discovery After an adventure, it may return with Outfits, Tools, or Melodies—a small surprise for the journey. Finish a full session to create a saveable, shareable watercolor Moment. ◆ It remembers every focus session A session is recorded after at least one full focus minute. Revisit each record in the Footprints timeline, and use weekly category totals to see where your focused time went. ◆ Make room for focus today Daily Promise is optional. Set a daily goal of 5–120 minutes; after granting access, choose apps or categories to set aside on this device. Selected apps unlock automatically when you reach your goal. • Valid on-device focus minutes from both count-up and countdown sessions count—no need to finish in one sitting • Unlock temporarily when needed, or turn Daily Promise off anytime; no membership required • Your goal and selected apps stay on this device and are never synced Reach your goal at your own pace. ◆ Let focus hatch new pets Completed sessions give your pet XP and add hatching progress to the current egg. Hatch and collect 24 watercolor pets; hatching a pet you already own gives Gleam instead. Steady focus also advances pets, places, collections, and milestones. ◆ Style its adventures, your way 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. 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 adds 50% to 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.

集中するためのタイマーは、たくさんあります。休むためのタイマーは、あまりありません。 「ほっとく」は、休むと決めたときに押すタイマーです。押した瞬間から、その時間は「休憩」として記録されます。休んでいるあいだに、メールや家事や頼まれごとを後回しにしたら、それも「手放したこと」として残ります。 ■ 休むと決めたら、押すだけ 時間は「5分」「30分」「60分」「気が済むまで」から選べます。ふつうは「気が済むまで」。終わりたくなったら「おしまい」を押します。 休憩中にスマホを見ていても、それは休憩です。SNS を眺めていても、動画を見ていても構いません。アプリを閉じても時間は進みます。 ロック画面と Dynamic Island には「休憩中」と経過時間が出ます。コントロールセンターに「休む」を置けば、アプリを開かずに休憩を始められます。 ■ 手放したことも、記録に残る 休憩を終えると「何か手放した?」と聞きます。家事、返信、仕事、頼まれごと、運動、勉強。ワンタップで選ぶだけで、選ばなくても構いません。タグは自由に足せて、並べ替えたり隠したりもできます。 ■ 休んだ時間が、溜まっていく ふりかえりには、今週休んだ時間、手放したことの数、曜日ごとのグラフ、よく手放したことが並びます。週ごとに、ひとことを添えます。 ■ 入れていないもの ・点数、連続日数、ランキングはありません ・「休みすぎ」の警告や、生産性の指標はありません ・スマホの使用を止めたり、アプリをブロックしたりしません 休んだことを、ただ肯定するためのアプリです。 ■ 料金 休憩の記録と、今週のふりかえりは無料です。先週より前のふりかえりを見返すときだけ、¥500 の買い切りが1回。月額もサブスクリプションもありません。広告もありません。 ■ 動作環境 iOS 18 以降。アカウント登録はありません。記録は端末内だけに保存され、開発者に送信されることはありません。時間を決めた休憩の終わりをお知らせするために、通知の許可を求めます(許可しなくても使えます)。
