What is Pondoro?
A native iOS focus timer. Complete real Pomodoro sessions and they grow a living aquarium — earning coins, XP, and companions as you go. The same app covers classic Pomodoro blocks, semester study streaks, and ADHD-friendly short starts.
Who is Pondoro for?
Students building long-haul habits, people who need deep-work windows without a shame loop, and anyone who struggles to start — including ADHD-friendly focus days. If a bare countdown feels like homework, the reef makes finishing visible.
Does the timer keep running in the background?
Yes. The timer is timestamp-anchored and pairs with a Live Activity, so leaving the app or locking your phone won't cheat your session.
Is it pay-to-win?
Pondoro Plus speeds up single-player progression with higher earned coin/XP rewards, a higher daily cap, shop discounts, and premium customization. Coins have no cash value, there are no paid coin packs or cash-out, and Plus must not control race outcomes, streak repair, or paid rare odds.
What is Depth Dive?
Each finished session is also a dive. How long you focused, the time of day, and whether you stayed undisturbed decide which of 24 sea creatures you log in your Field Guide — with seasonal migrations and the occasional rare moment along the way.
What happens if I miss a day?
Nothing punishing. Your streak rests instead of breaking, companion care stays recoverable, and the reef simply waits for your next session.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Pondoro is local-first with on-device persistence. Sign-in and sync are optional, for when you want your reef across devices.
When can I get it?
Pondoro is available now on the App Store for iOS 17+. Download it and start your first focus session today.
