Miko is the study app with a virtual pet: a Pomodoro and focus timer where every study session you finish feeds, dresses and cheers up your pet. Studying stops being a chore and becomes a habit you actually look forward to. STUDY TIMER & POMODORO Pick how long you want to focus and start. A 25-minute quick start or a Pomodoro tailored to you: focus blocks, breaks and rounds you configure, with a heads-up when the break ends. Leave the app mid-session and the session fails — the best cure for procrastination and phone distractions. A VIRTUAL PET THAT LIVES WITH YOU Miso, Mochi, Canela, Mango, Trufa and Brasa get hungry, thirsty, happy and tired. Feed them, give them water, play with them and let them rest.
