PondoroApp StorePondoro turns real Pomodoro sessions into a calm underwater world. Finish focus time, earn coins and XP, hatch fish, and log the sea creatures you meet on each dive.
Session length picks the depth. The hour picks the tide.
Six seconds here. Stay still and the water stays crystal.
Pick a Pomodoro length and name what you're working on. The timer runs on real time, so locking your phone doesn't pause or cheat it.
Deep Focus can shield the apps that pull you away. Stay undisturbed and the water stays crystal clear.
Finish to earn coins and XP, hatch fish, and log one sea creature in your Field Guide. Miss a day and nothing is taken away.
Session length picks the depth, the hour picks the tide, and staying undisturbed keeps the water crystal so shy creatures come out.
Breaks that end on time, spent breathing slowly with your fish instead of scrolling.
The more you focus this week, the brighter the tank glows. Every Monday the tide starts fresh.
Miss a day and your streak rests instead of breaking. Come back and it regrows.
Shield distracting apps for the length of a session with Apple's Screen Time. Free for everyone.
Collect 36 fish, then pair two companions to grow rare hybrids with focus minutes alone.
Race your fish on Easy, Medium or Hard tracks. A fun extra, never a requirement.
Start from the Home Screen or Siri, and keep the session on your Lock Screen.
Focus alongside friends. They see that you're diving, never what you're working on.
Every finished session logs one sighting. Each depth holds eight: four you'll meet any time, two that keep their own hours, and two shy ones that only come out in crystal water. Six annual migrations and twelve rare moments that happen while you're away round out the guide.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Nothing punishing. Your streak rests instead of breaking, companion care stays recoverable, and the reef simply waits for your next session.
Yes. Pondoro is local-first with on-device persistence. Sign-in and sync are optional, for when you want your reef across devices.
Pondoro is available now on the App Store for iOS 17+. Download it and start your first focus session today.
Pondoro is a Pomodoro-style focus timer for iPhone that ties every completed session to a living aquarium. You set a length, name what you are focusing on, and finish the block. The app then banks coins, XP and companion care from that real focus time. Fish hatch, the water clears, and the next session has something waiting for you.
It's for students building semester habits, people who need deep-work windows without a shame loop, and anyone whose hardest step is starting, including on ADHD-friendly focus days. It works offline, needs no account, and is built natively for iOS 17 and later.
