FocusVille turns your focus time into a little life you grow. Start a focus session and a tiny friend grows with you: baby, child, teen, adult. Every focused minute turns into coins, a cozier room and a life that slowly takes shape: a job, a salary, a bike, a house with a garden, and one day a seaside villa or an island of your own. Made calm on purpose. No noise, no pressure, no punishment for stopping early, and nothing you have earned is ever taken away. Just a soft, rewarding loop that makes it easier to start, especially if starting is the hard part for you. • Promise: promise yourself 1, 2 or 3 sessions (Easy, Medium or Hard) for today or tomorrow, and earn coins when you keep it. Add some of your coins if you like and they come back multiplied. Pick an hour and get a reminder. Keep 7 in a row for a bonus and a Promise cup for your room. • Your friend's form: your last 7 days of focus show on your character. When Fresh, sessions earn 10% more coins. Need time off? Take a break for 3, 7 or 14 days. Want more challenge? Optional Hard mode: a neglected friend gets sick and their salary is halved, until a few good days bring them back. • Your scene while you focus: during a session, your lock screen and home screen widget show the scene you picked and your friend with a live countdown (iOS 17 and later). Dim the screen and the scene stays softly visible. • Focus Journey: a one-time ticket for a 30-stop path. Every day you reach your minutes you move one stop, collecting room items you can't buy in the shop. • Big goals: a bike, a house with a garden, a sports car, a seaside villa and a private island, each with a new window view. The villa and the island open rooms of their own. • Wealth ladder: 12 titles from Apprentice to Legend, and every new title gives you a raise. • Seasonal trips with postcards, 15 new room items and a quote of the day. • Focus sessions with real ambience: rain and river are free; café, fireplace, forest, ocean, brown noise and white noise come with FocusVille+ (try each one free for a session) • Strict Mode (iOS 18 and later): lock the apps that distract you while your session runs. Free, with no daily limit • Exam and deadline countdown with your weekly focus time • Look after your friend: water, meals, a kitchen to fill and pets you name yourself • Jobs, salary, achievements and a story to unlock • Daily reminders and gentle streak protection • 12 languages, now including Vietnamese • Works offline. Signing in is optional, and your progress is yours FocusVille+ (optional monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription) adds Hard lock and Scheduled lock (iOS 18 and later), the weekly focus report (your first one is free), all scenes and sounds, focus effects and themes, free streak repair, unlimited breaks for your friend and 20% more coins in coin packs. Coins are earned by focusing; optional coin packs are just a shortcut. Coins have no cash value.
