Sprout is a Pomodoro timer and focus timer that grows a plant while you work. Start a Pomodoro session, put your phone down, and a plant grows from sprout to full bloom. Stop early and you keep it. A calm productivity app, study timer, ADHD focus timer and app blocker in one. Built for students, remote workers, people with ADHD and anyone who wants to stay focused, stop procrastination and cut screen time. No coins. No events. No pop-ups. Just a Pomodoro timer, a plant and your focus. POMODORO TIMER & FOCUS TIMER β€’ Pomodoro timer presets: 15, 25, 45, 60 and 90 minutes, or any focus session from 10 minutes to 3 hours of deep work β€’ One screen to start: pick a Pomodoro length, pick a plant, tap "Plant & focus" β€’ See exactly what will grow before you start the focus timer β€’ Study timer, work timer, reading timer: tag every Pomodoro as Study, Work, Read or your own tags β€’ The Pomodoro technique made visual: 25 minutes of focus reaches a bud, 50 minutes blooms, 90 minutes is full bloom STAY FOCUSED, GROW A GARDEN β€’ Every finished focus session lands in your garden, a visual record of your productivity β€’ 20 plants to collect: sunflower, tulip, basil, cactus, rose, fern, succulent, lavender, orchid, strawberry, lemon tree, monstera, hydrangea, bonsai, Venus flytrap, mushrooms, pumpkin, cherry blossom, Japanese maple and olive tree β€’ Plants are unlocked with focus time. The best focus habit tracker is the garden you grew yourself ADHD-FRIENDLY FOCUS TIMER β€’ Made for ADHD: stopped early? You keep what grew. No dead trees, no guilt, no punishment β€’ Gentle, non-punitive motivation that helps with ADHD, procrastination, phone addiction and doom scrolling β€’ Short Pomodoro sessions (15 or 25 minutes) are perfect for ADHD focus and getting started when starting is the hard part β€’ Optional strict mode: leave the app during a focus session and the plant wilts. Real stakes, if you want them APP BLOCKER: BLOCK DISTRACTING APPS β€’ Block distracting apps and websites for the length of every Pomodoro, enforced by iOS Screen Time β€’ The app blocker stops doom scrolling, reduces screen time and keeps you off your phone while you study or work β€’ Privacy first: Sprout never sees which apps you block FOCUS STATS, HABIT TRACKER & HEATMAP β€’ Track focused time today, this week and all time β€’ Focus trend: today vs. the same time yesterday and the day before β€’ GitHub-style focus heatmap: see every day you focused over the last months at a glance β€’ Tag breakdown: how much of your focus time went to Study, Work or Read β€’ Your most productive hour, productivity streak and a daily focus goal ring. A soft target, no nagging notifications MADE FOR β€’ Students: study timer for exams, homework, revision, reading and studying with the Pomodoro technique β€’ Remote work and deep work: Pomodoro technique, time blocking, flow state, time management β€’ ADHD focus: simple, kind, no clutter. A focus timer that works with your brain, not against it β€’ Writers, developers, designers and anyone building a concentration habit, one plant at a time PRIVATE & OFFLINE β€’ No account, no sync, no tracking, no ads.

Or pay once for lifetime access. One plan, everything included: focus timer, app blocker, garden plot, stats. No ads, ever. Sprout is built by one solo developer with ADHD, not a studio. No ad budget, no growth team. If it helps you focus, a rating is the single biggest thing that helps other people find it.

Focus, and your pea grows. Peapod is a focus timer with a heart: a tiny pea that grows every minute you stay focused. It's free, with no login. HOW IT WORKS 1. Name the one thing you'll work on. 2. Start a focus session: 15 to 120 minutes. Keep Peapod open β€” locking your screen is fine. 3. Wander off to other apps and it counts as a distraction. In Hard mode, leaving for 30 seconds ends the session. 4. Finish, rate your focus with one tap, and watch your pea grow. STAY HONEST β€’ Peapod notices when you leave mid-session β€” each distraction costs coins β€’ Giving up takes a 30-second pause, enough to change your mind β€’ Locking your screen never counts against you, and short breaks under 15 seconds are forgiven A PET THAT NEVER DIES β€’ Grows from Seed to Golden Pod β€” your first evolution comes after your very first session β€’ Fully grown? Plant it and hatch a mystery seed: 8 peas to collect, from Common to Legendary β€’ A widget with attitude: your pea dozes off, stares, or celebrates depending on your day β€’ Give up early and your pea is sad for an hour. That's it. No guilt trips. BUILT ON WHAT ACTUALLY WORKS β€’ Insights: minutes per day, daily goal, completion rate, your best time of day, where your focus went. All free, all on your iPhone β€’ Streaks with a weekly freeze, so one bad day doesn't undo a month β€’ Seasonal challenges with limited rewards FOCUS DUO β€’ Pair with one friend using a simple code β€” no accounts β€’ See each other's pea, cheer each other on, and grow a shared streak when you both focus that day MORE β€’ Live Activity and Dynamic Island countdown β€’ Home and Lock Screen widgets, with a one-tap Start button β€’ "Start focus in Peapod" with Siri and Shortcuts FREE MEANS FREE β€’ Unlimited sessions, forever β€’ No ads β€’ Peapod Pro is optional: 2Γ— coins, lucky seeds, exclusive skins, app icons, an extra streak freeze and a large widget PRIVATE BY DESIGN β€’ No account, no email β€’ Export your data any time from Settings Peapod Pro subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period.
