You pack your laptop and walk to a café — not because you need coffee, but because you can't focus at home. The hum, the clatter, the stranger typing across the room. Somehow, that's where the work happens. BrewFocus is that café — open whenever you need it. HOW IT WORKS Open the door. Order your drink — and your drink is your focus session. Espresso for a quick sprint. Pour over for the long haul. Grind the beans, take a seat by the window, and start. Then just work. The café hums around you. Your coffee slowly empties. When the cup runs out, you're done. THE RITUAL • Stepping inside — a quiet café by the sea, and the camera moves in • Ordering a drink — espresso runs 25 minutes, hand drip runs 3 hours • Grinding the beans — the sound that tells your brain it's time • Choosing a seat — window table, stool across the room, a spot at the bar. Every seat, a different view • Watching the coffee go down — the time you have left isn't a number, it's in the cup WHY IT WORKS Your brain doesn't need more willpower. It needs the right environment. A moderate hum of café noise can boost creative thinking — the "Café Effect." BrewFocus rebuilds it: the ambience, the light, the view out the window. You're not staring at a countdown. You're sitting in a café, getting things done. WHAT'S INSIDE • A living café — waves outside the window, trees swaying in the woods. Not a still image, but a scene that actually moves • A view that changes with your seat — sit by the window and you face the sea; sit at the bar and you face the counter • A cup that empties — you watch time pass instead of counting it • Coffee order receipts — a record of every session • Ambient sound — café noise, rain, waves, forest, fireplace, lo-fi A café is a "third place" — not home, not the office. Somewhere you go to get into your own head. Now you can go there anytime.

About

Study Corgi

Features
Read full description

Meet Mochi — a cozy corgi who cheers you on every time you focus, and mopes if you walk away too soon. Study Corgi turns the Pomodoro technique into something you actually want to open. HOW IT WORKS • Pick a focus length — classic 25-minute sprints, deep work blocks, or build your own. • Start the timer and your corgi settles in next to you. • Finish the session, earn coins and XP, and watch your buddy react in real time. • New here? Try a first 5-minute session with Mochi and get a 100-coin welcome gift. RAISE YOUR CORGI Every completed session feeds your pet's mood, levels it up, and keeps your daily streak alive. Your buddy grows through 5 stages — Baby, Little One, Grown-up, Angel and Legend — getting bigger as it levels up, earning angel wings at level 30 and a golden crown at level 50, the max level. Each pet keeps its own level: raise one to Legend, then start fresh with a new buddy. Extra companions can be unlocked with coins or with Premium. Skip too many sessions and it shows — a happy, grown-up corgi is proof of real focus habits, not just a badge. DECORATE YOUR SPACE Spend the coins you earn on furniture, themed rooms, and cosmetics for your pet. Unlock cozy new scenes as a reward for showing up. STAY IN THE ZONE • Ambient sounds — rain, ocean, forest, birds, white/pink/brown noise, and more — to mask distractions. • Daily quests and streaks that give you a reason to come back tomorrow. • Stats that show your total focus time, sessions completed, and streak — by week, month, or year. • A weekly recap every Sunday shows how much you and your buddy focused together. • A home screen widget keeps your pet, its mood, and your streak one glance away. BETTER WITH FRIENDS Invite a friend to Study Corgi — when they finish their first focus session, you both get coins. WHY STUDY CORGI Most focus timers are just a countdown. Study Corgi gives you something to come back for: a pet that notices whether you're actually focusing, a buddy that grows with your habit, and a streak worth protecting. The free version shows some ads, but never during a focus session. STUDY CORGI PREMIUM Premium unlocks every pet companion, all focus sounds, full stats, and 3x coins from every session, and removes forced ads from the app. The only ads Premium members can still see are the optional "watch to earn coins" videos in the shop, which only play if you tap them. Choose monthly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://focus-5ec07.web.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://focus-5ec07.web.app/privacy-policy Whether you're studying, working deep, or just trying to put your phone down for 25 minutes — Mochi's waiting.
