Naru is a Pomodoro timer that helps you focus on one thing, shut out distractions and actually get it done. Pick what you're working on, hit start, and give it your full attention until the clock runs out. Then take a break before you burn out. Short rounds of real focus with rest in between get more done than a whole day of half-attention. Phone keeps pulling you away? Block the apps you scroll the most, and they stay locked while you focus. Want it even stricter? Turn on strict mode, and leaving the app ends your session. Stand your phone up and go full screen for a big flip clock that keeps you on track. Put on rain or ocean waves to block out the noise around you. Every minute you focus is saved to that task, so you can see what's really getting your time and what isn't. Watch the hours add up, keep your streak alive, and set a daily goal to build a habit that sticks. Naru Pro gets you the app blocker, strict mode, your full history, daily goals, Calendar and Apple Health sync, and every soundscape. Try it free before you pay, and cancel anytime.
