Focus, and a planet forms. Stay until the timer ends and it joins your galaxy. Quit early and it scatters. A pomodoro focus timer that turns your time into worlds. Made with ADHD and restless focus in mind, Planeta gives every study block, homework hour or deep work sprint a reward you can actually see. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a session length from 5 to 120 minutes and start the timer. 2. While the clock counts down, your planet's terrain and colors take shape. 3. When time is up, the planet is yours and joins your galaxy. The rule is simple: stay to the end and you keep what you built. Leave early and nothing is left behind. It's an easy way to stick with the pomodoro technique, one session at a time. NO TWO ARE EVER ALIKE Every session generates a new terrain, color palette and set of rings. There are 20 planet types to discover, and no two planets ever come out the same. LONGER FOCUS, RICHER PLANETS Focus for more than 30 minutes and your planet gains an atmosphere. Go past 60 minutes and it gains a ring. Shorter sessions still leave a planet, just without the extra layers. That's a small reason to stay in flow a little longer. YOUR GALAXY The planets you earn settle into star systems. Pan across the map and see which session each planet came from. Your focus history becomes a place you can explore. THE CODEX A record of all 20 planet types that fills in as you discover each one. JOURNAL Every voyage is logged with its length, its tag and its planet. Add a note to any session so you remember what you worked on. It doubles as a simple study tracker for ADHD study habits, exam prep or long work days. ON YOUR WRIST AND HOME SCREEN • Apple Watch: start and end a session from your wrist • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, so your study timer is always a tap away • Live Activity: see the time left on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island FOCUS SHIELD Lock your phone down for the session and let through only the apps you choose.

About

Lepomo

Features
Read full description

Lepomo is a cozy Pomodoro timer for iPhone and Mac. Open it, press Start, and get to work. No account, no setup, no noise. And while you focus, a little train carries Lepomo across the countryside: every minute is a kilometre, and nothing you earn is ever lost. FOCUS, GENTLY • One clear timer: focus, short break, long break. • Pause and resume without losing your place. Paused time never counts as focus. • A soft sound and a notification when it's time to rest, with Start Break right on the banner. • A living scene instead of a bare countdown: the sky follows your time of day, it rains now and then, and the ambient sound is made for concentration. A JOURNEY THAT ONLY GOES FORWARD • Each minute of focus moves the train. Stations arrive, each with a postcard and a souvenir. • Small keepsakes turn up along the way. Put them on display, furnish the cabin with your souvenirs. • No streaks, no guilt, nothing decays. Take a week off and the train simply waits for you. ALWAYS WITHIN REACH • iPhone: Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, Home and Lock Screen widgets. • Mac: lives in the menu bar, with desktop widgets; pauses your focus when the Mac goes to sleep. • Works with Shortcuts: Start Focus, Start Break, Pause, Resume. QUIET INSIGHTS • See your focus by Day, Week, Month and Year: real calendar periods, clean charts. • Rest days never drag your average down. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no analytics, no tracking. • Your history and preferences stay on your devices and, if you use iCloud, in your own private iCloud, so your iPhone and Mac show the same journey. We cannot see any of it. LEPOMO PLUS (optional) • Decorations and new looks for the cabin. • Start on your Mac, pause on your iPhone: the running timer follows you. • Your own tasks, and the time you gave each one. • The stopwatch, focus sessions up to 180 minutes and longer breaks. • View your full history by Day, Week, Month and Year. • Extra themes, alert sounds and app icons. • Future seasons of the journey. Subscribe monthly or yearly (7-day free trial on yearly), or buy once with Lifetime. One purchase covers iPhone and Mac. The timer and the whole first season of the journey are free, always.
