Pomotown - Focus Timer
Pomodoro in a pixel Japan
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Most timers want your credit card. This one wants twenty-five minutes. A pomodoro timer set in a hand-pixeled Japan — pay once, no subscription, ever.
A pomodoro timer set in a hand-pixeled Japan.
Press start. The konbini's neon hums. Rain begins on the window. For twenty-five minutes, this place breathes with your focus — and when the timer ends, a chime that belongs to the place sees you off.
Twenty-five minutes is enough for the chapter you've been avoiding. The bug you keep half-fixing in your head. The reading that won't read itself. Pomotown helps you pick one.

FOUR PLACES TO FOCUS IN
· Tokyo Konbini — fluorescent hum, rain on the window, the soft beep of a register at 2 a.m.
· Kyoto Chashitsu — tatami quiet, a kettle warming, sakura drifting past shoji
· Shibuya Crossing — neon flicker on wet asphalt, distant trains, a city that never quite sleeps
· Lofi Bedroom — vinyl crackle, a desk lamp, rain against the glass
Every frame is hand-pixeled. Every sound is recorded, not generated. The world keeps living whether you're watching or not.

WHAT'S IN THE APP
· Classic Pomodoro — 25 minutes focus, 5 minutes break, customizable
· Live Activity & Dynamic Island — your timer lives on the Lock Screen
· Streak tracking — the days you showed up
· A pixel town that grows with every session — yours to lose if you stop
· Per-theme chimes — pick how your focus ends
· Session history — local-only, never leaves your device

PRIVACY, BY DEFAULT
No sign-up. No email. No "create an account." No analytics SDK. No ad network. We literally cannot see what you do in this app — and that's the point.

PAY ONCE. NO SUBSCRIPTION.
¥380 / $2.99 — one time. Yours forever, on every iPhone you own.
Three days free, fully unlocked, no card required. After that, the buyout unlocks every theme, every sound, and every future update. If you don't unlock, Pomotown keeps working with one theme so your focus habit doesn't break.
We were tired of timers that wanted a credit card on file. So we built one that doesn't.

WHO IT'S FOR
· Students writing dissertations in long, quiet blocks
· Writers, designers, engineers — anyone who needs the world to slow down for twenty-five minutes
· People who love beautiful software and own it instead of renting it
· People who turned off every notification on their phone and want their timer to feel the same way

FROM THE MAKER
I'm one developer, building Pomotown alone. No VC, no growth team, no analytics dashboard watching what you tap.
I wanted a timer that felt like a place, not a productivity tool. Quiet. Specific. Not trying to optimize me.
If you find a bug — or have a town you'd like to see next — write: gijirokuman@gmail.com
