Focus Blade: Pomodoro RPG
Leave the app, get hit back
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Touch your phone and the enemy strikes back. Turn 25 minutes of focus into a sword strike in this Pomodoro x retro RPG. 40 distractions-turned-monsters await you.
Put your phone down for 25 minutes.
Only then can your blade reach the enemy.
Focus Blade turns the Pomodoro timer into a retro RPG battle. Tap Fight, set your phone aside, and get back to your studies or your work. Every 25 minutes of focus becomes a strike against a monster.
- OPEN ANOTHER APP, AND THE ENEMY STRIKES BACK
Leave the app during a focus session and the enemy readies an attack. Come back within 10 seconds, or take a counterattack and lose some of your gold. A second counterattack in the same battle hits even harder.
Locking your screen and turning your phone face down is fine. The real enemy is the feed you open without thinking.
- THE MONSTERS ARE YOUR DISTRACTIONS
Notification imps, read-receipt eyeballs, message fairies... All 40 monsters in the tower are everyday distractions in disguise. The higher you climb, the more they come from inside your own head.
- CLIMB A 10-FLOOR TOWER, 25 MINUTES AT A TIME
Each floor hides a monster carrying a key. Defeat it to unlock the next floor. Bosses wait on every other floor.
When your 5-minute break ends, the next monster appears. Leave it too long and it starts to heal.
- THE MORE YOU FOCUS, THE STRONGER YOU GET
Win battles to earn EXP, gold and gear. Collect 100 pieces of equipment across five slots: weapon, shield, armor, helmet and accessory. Each weapon type has its own attack animation.
Choose your hero from 14 looks.
- WEEKLY LEADERBOARD
Compete with other adventurers on total focus time each week. You get an automatic name like "Adventurer#1234". No sign-up, no login.
