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.

Read full description

One page at a time. Tomato Daily is a Pomodoro timer for study and rest. A little art, a little ambient sound, and time for what matters to you. STAY IN YOUR FLOW Still reading when the timer ends? Keep going after the reminder. It won't switch to a break automatically. Extra time counts too. A PAUSE FEELS GOOD Put the book down. Take a breath. Choose a short or long break, or start another when you need it. Breaks keep counting and recording past the set time too. EVERY BIT COUNTS A few pages. A little practice. One task done. Organize sessions with tags and look back by day, week, month or year. See where your time went, and how it adds up. FORGOT TO SET THE TIMER? Add a missed session, edit the time, or leave a note about what you read or finished. FIND YOUR QUIET Pick an illustrated scene and an ambient sound. Or choose a minimal theme and turn the sound off. Make room for your own kind of quiet. A GLANCE, THEN BACK TO YOUR BOOK Check the timer on your Lock Screen or in the Dynamic Island on supported models. Home Screen widgets show today's focus. Enable notifications for reminders while your screen is locked or you're in another app. NEW PHONE, SAME PROGRESS With iCloud enabled and the same Apple Account, your focus and break records sync to your next iPhone. Unlock charts and more ambient sounds with a one-time purchase. No subscription.
