Your focus, looked after.

A companion to cheer you on, a shield to keep you on task, and a reef worth coming back to. Every part of Pondoro exists to make the next session easier.

Cheered on

Pondie keeps you company — encouragement, planning help, and a pep talk when you need one.

Shielded

Turn on Deep Focus and Pondoro blocks the apps that pull you away — only while a session runs, never longer.

Rewarded

Race the very fish your focus earned against friendly rivals — no real money, no pay-to-win.

Your hours keep slipping away. Take them back.

Pondoro replaces the doomscroll with a loop worth finishing — the same minutes, spent somewhere that grows.

Distracted & drained

Endless pings, doomscrolling, and tabs you never meant to open. The hours slip away and there's nothing to show for them.

  • 3 new notifications
  • Just one more video
  • 47 tabs open
  • Where did the day go?

Focused & growing

One session at a time, your attention becomes a living reef. Finish the timer and come back to something calmer than you left it.

Calm by design
The loop

A focus ritual that actually rewards finishing.

  1. 01

    Set a session

    Pick a Pomodoro length and what you're focusing on. A timestamp-anchored timer keeps it honest, even in the background.

  2. 02

    Earn fair rewards

    Finish the session to bank coins, XP, and companion care — granted from real focus, never from your wallet.

  3. 03

    Grow your reef

    Hatch fish, decorate habitats, and watch a calmer aquarium take shape one completed session at a time.

Meet Pondie · Your companion

The little goldfish who's actually in your corner.

Pondie lives in your reef and knows how your focus is really going. Chat about your day, get help planning your time, or just hear that a slow day is still okay — warm, encouraging, and never preachy.

  • Knows your real streak, focus, and fish — so it's about your day, not generic tips
  • Cheers you on, helps you plan your time, and talks you through the hard moments
  • On-device with Apple Intelligence on supported devices — private, free, and works offline

Runs entirely on your iPhone with Apple Intelligence on supported devices — nothing you say ever leaves your device.

That's the spirit. Goldie's already waving at you — tap start whenever you're ready.

Beyond the timer

Everything you grow by simply finishing.

The focus loop and the living aquarium it feeds — finish a session, and the reef does the rest.

Real focus time

Start a session. The reef keeps score.

A live, timestamp-anchored countdown — no fake decrements, no shame loops. Choose Classic, Deep Dive, or a quick tide, set your intent, then watch your companion drift while the clock runs.

  • Background-safe timer with Live Activity
  • Classic, deep-dive & breath modes
  • Completion translates straight into rewards

Living aquarium

Your completed sessions become a habitat.

Fish wander, water clarity climbs as you focus, and companions build a bond over time. Care stays recoverable — miss a day and nothing punishes you, it just waits for your next session.

  • Companion needs, bonds & daily goals
  • Tank conditions you tune over time
  • Décor studio, photo mode & friends
Posture coach

Your fish notices how you're sitting.

Wearing AirPods? Pondoro reads your head motion — only while a session is open — and your companion gently reacts. Sit tall and the reef stays bright; ease forward too long and a calm nudge invites you back up. No video, no cloud, no nagging.

  • Works with AirPods Pro, 3rd/4th gen & Max
  • A quiet Good · Better · Bad read-out, never a grade
  • In-session only — nothing is ever recorded

On-device & hands-free

Private AI — and a session that starts from your Lock Screen.

Your companion's reflections are written by an on-device model: free, offline, and private — nothing leaves your iPhone. Start a session with Siri, the Action Button, or a tap, and the controls float over the living reef in iOS 26's Liquid Glass.

  • On-device reflections — no account, no subscription, no network
  • Start focusing from Siri, Shortcuts & the Action Button
  • Liquid Glass controls over a living, refracting reef

Deep Focus

Block the apps that break your focus.

Switch on Deep Focus and Pondoro shields your most distracting apps for the length of a session — built on Apple's Screen Time, so it stays private and on-device. Pondie can even suggest which categories to silence. The shield lifts the moment you finish, and it's free for everyone.

  • Pick apps & categories with Apple's Screen Time picker
  • Pondie suggests what to block — your usage stays private
  • Free for everyone — never behind a paywall

Collect & care

Hatch a reef of 36 companions.

Earn eggs through focus and hatch a fish book across five rarities — common and uncommon free, the rarer species with Plus. Each one yours to name, bond with, and grow.

…and 24+ more to discover — from common comets to legendary founders.

Breeding & nursery

Pair two fish. Grow a rare new species.

Send two discovered companions to the Nursery, spend coins to start an egg, then grow it with focus minutes alone — no real-time timers to wait out. The right pairings hatch breeding-exclusive hybrids you can't find anywhere else.

  • Pair any two discovered fish as parents
  • Eggs grow only as you focus — never idle waiting
  • Rare hybrids like the Prism Angelfish hatch only here

Immersive focus

A timer that quietly roots for you.

Fish race

Pick a racer. Spend a ticket. Watch the lanes go live.

Turn earned tickets into a lane-based race with a position rail, lap HUD, and a finish pillar. Outcomes are settled fairly — speed comes from your fish, not your wallet.
