Fruitsful turns focus into something you can see. Every session you finish grows a hand-drawn fruit. It falls into the pile at the bottom of your screen, bounces, and settles among the others ā real 2D physics, not a picture. Tilt your phone and the whole harvest rolls. Give up halfway and a rotten one drops instead. Nothing is hidden and nothing is punished: the pile just tells the truth about your week. A TIMER THAT STAYS OUT OF THE WAY ⢠Pomodoro cycles with short and long breaks, or any length from 5 to 180 minutes ⢠Overtime keeps counting past 0:00 while you're in flow ā and stops before a forgotten phone becomes a nine-hour session ⢠A real alarm that rings in Silent Mode and through Focus ⢠The countdown survives the app being closed, killed, or the phone restarting ⢠App Freeze: pick the apps that pull you away and they stay locked until the session ends SEE WHERE YOUR TIME WENT ⢠Tag your sessions ā Work, Study, Deep Work, or your own ā and see the split ⢠Day, week, month and year charts ⢠A calendar timeline of every session you have run ⢠Medals across five categories, from your first fruit to your thousandth EVERYWHERE YOU FOCUS ⢠Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, for the whole cycle ⢠Home Screen widget with today's harvest ⢠Apple Watch app: watch the session from your wrist, control it from there, or run one entirely on the watch with your phone in another room ⢠Mindful minutes saved to Apple Health ⢠Finished sessions exported to your calendar FRUITSFUL PLUS All 15 fruits, your real statistics, the full calendar timeline, iCloud sync across your devices, calendar export, and App Freeze. The annual plan starts with 7 days free ā cancel any time. Fruitsful speaks 50 languages, and you can switch the app's language without touching your device settings. Plant your focus.
