About

Pull

Features
Read full description

Pull is a focus timer that closes your distracting apps until the session ends, and learns how long you can actually concentrate so you stop guessing at twenty-five minutes. It shows you that session as an espresso shot. Set your dose โ€” the length you believe you can concentrate for โ€” and pull. The shot renders live, and nothing on the screen is decorative. The stream thins and pales as the puck gives up. Crema builds on the surface and holds. Run far past your dose and the stream blondes to straw, because that is what over-extraction looks like. Stop short and it is sour. Pick up your phone and the puck channels. The stream splits, the crema tears, and the tear stays for the rest of the shot and afterwards, on your wall. If you have used a pomodoro timer, this is the same shape of thing with one difference that matters: the length is yours rather than a fixed twenty-five. MATCH YOUR DOSE TO YOUR REAL ATTENTION SPAN Twenty-five minutes came off a paperback in the 1980s. It is not your number. Pull watches your clean sessions and reads back the dose you can actually hold โ€” and tells you honestly when your history is too scattered to call one yet. THE WALL Every shot you have ever pulled, kept. Day, week, month and year are one continuous object at four zooms: cups on lit shelves, in the colour they came out. A god shot lights its own rim. A dumped one lies on its side and stains the board, at the same size as a good one, permanently. AN INSTRUMENT, NOT AN ILLUSTRATION The extraction is drawn from live session state, sixty times a second. The pressure trace under the timer is the real curve. The gauge reads the real number. If the picture changes, something changed. BUILT TO BE TRUSTED ยท No account. No login. No sign-up wall. ยท No network. The app works in aeroplane mode, always. ยท No analytics SDK. No tracking. No ads, ever. ยท Your history is one file on your device and never leaves it. THE SHIELD Pull can hold the line for you. Arm the shield before a shot and nothing but Pull opens until the shot ends. It lifts itself the moment you cut, and it never outlives the session that armed it. ONE PURCHASE, FOREVER Not a subscription. Every dose is free, at any minute you like. Every origin, every machine part, the whole log, Live Activity, Dynamic Island โ€” free. The shield is free too, and free it closes everything. One optional purchase buys precision: name the handful of apps you cannot be trusted with, and leave maps, music and the rest exactly where they are. The paid version blocks less, not more. Nothing that works today will ever move behind it. Requires iOS 17 or later.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Pull at none against Pomodoro RPG's shown. Pomodoro RPG's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pomodoro RPG sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Pull sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
