Can't stop reaching for your phone? Turn your focus into something you can watch grow. FocusTown is a gamified deep-work timer: every focus session you finish earns coins that build a cozy pixel town, block by block. Stay off your phone, and a tiny hamlet slowly becomes a thriving city. Pay once and it's yours forever — no subscription, no ads, and nothing about you is ever collected. HOW IT WORKS 1. Start a focus session — Pomodoro-style or a custom length. 2. Put your phone down and do the work. 3. Earn coins for every session you complete. 4. Spend them to build and upgrade houses, libraries, parks and more. WHY YOU'LL STICK WITH IT — See your progress: abstract "focus time" becomes a town you can actually look at and feel proud of. — Build real habits: streaks and gentle momentum keep you coming back, day after day. — Calm by design: no social feeds, no attention-grabbing notifications, no endless scroll. — Your data stays yours: the app collects nothing. Nothing to leak, nothing to sell. — Pay once: unlock everything with a single one-time purchase — never a subscription. FEATURES — Flexible focus timer for work, study, reading, writing or mindfulness. — A cozy town builder with unique, beautifully styled buildings to collect and arrange. — Clear statistics: track daily, weekly and monthly focus trends. — Ambient sounds to help you settle in and block out distractions. WHO IT'S FOR Students revising for exams, remote workers fighting distraction, writers chasing flow, and anyone who wants to reclaim their attention — without renting their tools by the month.
