Read full descriptionHide full description
PREMIUM — PURCHASE REQUIRED: All features described below are part of Pro and require a purchase: a weekly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Set the timer, start the sprint, and give the next 25 minutes to one thing. PomoTick runs the classic Pomodoro Technique — 25 minutes of focus, 5 of rest, a long break every fourth round — for anyone studying for exams or trying to get real work done. The difference: your focus leaves a trace. Every completed session grows a plant in your garden. A distracted day looks bare. A focused week looks alive. That little patch of pixels turns out to be a surprisingly effective boss. WHAT YOU GET • One tap and the ring starts counting — 25/5 by default, or any length from 5 to 90 minutes • A garden that grows one plant per finished sprint, so you can see yesterday's effort instead of guessing • Breaks that run themselves — short breaks auto-start, and the fourth round earns the long one • Rain, café, forest, white noise, or ocean waves that keep playing with the screen locked • Tasks with their own colors and session goals — thesis, bar exam, client project — plus charts showing which one actually got your hours • A streak counter and daily goal that make skipping a day feel expensive PERFECT FOR • Students grinding through exam season one 25-minute block at a time • Writers and programmers who need the door closed on distraction • Remote workers whose five-minute break keeps becoming an hour • Anyone who has read about the Pomodoro Technique and wants it to finally stick WHY NOT JUST USE THE CLOCK APP A bare countdown ends and evaporates. PomoTick keeps score: sessions logged, streaks counted, hours charted by task over 7, 14, and 30 days — so Friday-you knows exactly what Monday-you did. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Every session, task, and chart lives on your iPhone. No account, no cloud, no tracking. PREMIUM (PURCHASE REQUIRED) PomoTick requires PomoTick Pro, which unlocks everything: all ambient soundscapes, unlimited tasks, 14- and 30-day charts with the focus-by-task breakdown, and all four garden themes — Meadow, Autumn, Sakura, and Desert Bloom. Choose a weekly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Plant the first tomato: your next 25 minutes start with one tap.

Studva is the Strava of deep work: turn your focus hours into wins you share. Whether you're preparing for an exam, pushing a side project forward or working remotely: staying focused alone is hard. Studva turns every work session into a measured, verified, social activity - just like a workout. HOW IT WORKS 1. Arrive - settle in wherever you work: library, campus, café, office. 2. Start - snap your start photo, then start the timer. It becomes half of your before/after. 3. Focus - stay locked in, the app counts distractions. 4. Share - post your before/after with your stats baked in: proof of what you got done. Friends cheer you on with a Focus and you climb the leaderboards together. VERIFIED SESSIONS In an approved place, GPS confirms you were there at the start and the end: your session gets the Verified badge. Place leaderboards only count verified sessions. YOUR TIMER, ALWAYS IN SIGHT Your time keeps running on your lock screen - and in the Dynamic Island on iPhones that have one. Pause or finish your session without even reopening the app. BLOCK WHAT DISTRACTS YOU (iPhone) Pick the apps to pause during your sessions: they stay out of reach until the timer ends. Studva never sees which ones you chose - the selection stays on your phone. YOUR PRODUCTIVITY COACH Every week, Studva analyzes your sessions and tells you when and where you perform best: your peak time slot, your home base, your trends. Everything is computed on your phone. LEVELS AND SHOP Every minute of work earns you XP. Level up and spend it in the shop: animated stickers, frames, banners and timers, right down to your lock screen. A COMMUNITY THAT PUSHES YOU - A feed of your friends: cheer with a Focus, comment, chat in private messages - Clubs: your class, your team or your friends, with built-in chat - Weekly league with friends, challenges and trophies to unlock - Streaks: stack up the days and keep your run alive OVER 500,000 PLACES ON THE MAP Libraries, campuses and study spots worldwide. Every place has its own leaderboard: become the reference of your spot. YOUR STATS, YOUR PROGRESS Time per subject or project, personal records, weekly goals, exam and deadline countdowns, CSV export. PRIVACY FIRST - Your location is only used to verify your session - never a GPS trace, never a real-time position visible to others - Your private places: only you can see where they are - Friends only by default - Data hosted in Europe, except the notification identifier (Expo, United States), never sold - Deleting your account immediately erases your profile, your sessions with their photos, and your messages Ready to make focus a sport? Download Studva and start your first session.
