Every focus session is now a dive: log 24 hand-painted sea creatures in your new Field Guide, take breathing breaks, and keep a streak that rests instead of breaking.
Every focus session is a dive. Watch a living reef — and a whole ocean — grow with you.
Pondoro is a calm Pomodoro study timer that turns each focus session into coins, XP, new cartoon fish for your own aquarium, and a sea creature for your Field Guide — calm, private, and never naggy. Made for students, deep workers, and busy ADHD minds.
WHY PONDORO IS DIFFERENT
Most focus apps punish you when you slip. Pondoro doesn't. No shame, no nagging, no streak guilt — just a calm, offline-first space where showing up is its own reward, and your reef remembers every session.
DEPTH DIVE + FIELD GUIDE
- Your session length picks the depth: the Shallows (under 20 min), the Reef (20–39 min), or the Twilight zone (40+ min)
- The hour you start sets the scene — dawn, day, dusk, or night — and who's out
- Stay undisturbed and the water stays crystal-clear, so shy creatures appear
- Every session logs one of 24 hand-painted sea creatures in your Field Guide
- 6 seasonal migrations return every year, plus 12 rare "while you were away" moments to discover
GROW A LIVING REEF
- Every focus session earns coins and XP
- Hatch and collect cartoon fish — common & uncommon free, rarer species (rare, epic, legendary) with Plus
- Breed rare new species and decorate habitats your way
- Gentle fish care: a free daily sprinkle, soft hunger, and level-up pearls
- Bred fish inherit a head start
STAY IN FLOW
- A reliable, timestamp-anchored timer — locking your phone never cheats a session
- A Lock Screen Live Activity keeps your session in view
- Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show your streak and today's progress at a glance
- Works with iOS Focus modes — flip on Work or Study and a session is ready when you return
- Optional Deep Focus app-blocking — block the apps that pull you away, only while a session runs (free, on-device)
- Gentle, optional AirPods posture check-ins — on-device, foreground only
- Race the fish your focus earned against in-app rivals — just for fun, no real money
- Set a daily goal, and Keep flowing past the timer when you're in the zone
- A breathing break with your fish after each session
- A weekly tide that lights up your tank, and a streak that rests instead of breaking — one free rest day a week; a lapsed streak regrows with two sessions
FOCUS WITH FRIENDS
- Shared Ponds: focus alongside friends and see who's diving now
- Pond rules, report, and block keep every pond a kind place
CALM AND PRIVATE BY DESIGN
- Offline-first — core focus works with no account or connection
