Read full description

Your focus timer is now an RPG. Start a session and your pixel-art hero sets off on a quest that lasts exactly as long as you stay focused โ€” every minute of real concentration moves them forward. FocusQuest turns the hardest part of deep work โ€” actually starting โ€” into the best part of your day. No guilt-trip charts. No streak-shaming. Just a quest board, a hero, and a world that grows a little every time you focus. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a quest from the daily board and set your timer. 2. Focus. Your hero adventures through scrolling pixel-art worlds while you work. 3. Finish and collect XP, gold, gear, and a longer streak. WHY YOU'LL ACTUALLY OPEN IT โ€ข A focus timer you look forward to โ€” Pomodoro sessions reimagined as quests โ€ข Real progression โ€” earn XP, gold, and armor every single session โ€ข Level up a character that mirrors your focus habit, with no level cap โ€ข Build daily streaks and see your whole focus history at a glance โ€ข Five hand-crafted pixel-art worlds to journey through โ€ข Calming soundscapes to drop into deep work fast โ€ข Group quests โ€” focus side by side with friends in real time โ€ข Works fully offline โ€” your focus shouldn't depend on a signal BUILT TO HELP YOU FOCUS, NOT DISTRACT YOU During a quest the world goes quiet: slow scrolling, nothing to tap, no noise. The game gets out of the way so you can do the work โ€” then celebrates you the moment you're done. NO PUNISHMENT, EVER Miss a day? Abandon a session? You never lose XP, gold, or gear you've already earned. FocusQuest only rewards you for showing up. MADE FOR Studying, deep work, writing, coding, reading, side projects, beating procrastination โ€” and anyone who's bounced off plain productivity timers. GOLD CARD MEMBERSHIP Go further with an optional Gold Card subscription: a monthly Guild Marks stipend, your complete focus history, daily perks, and the ability to host group quests. โ€ข Monthly: $4.99 USD per month โ€ข Annual: $39.99 USD per year (best value) FocusQuest is free to download and play.
