## Description

**Focus Dog** is a gamified Pomodoro focus timer designed to help students, remote workers, and anyone struggling with phone distraction stay productive. Start a focus session to produce donuts for your virtual dog, Focus. Leave the app to open distracting apps and the machine stops, creating a simple incentive to stay on task.

Track work, study, and deep-focus sessions with tags, streaks, calendar heatmaps, and weekly, monthly, and yearly statistics. Earn donuts, unlock recipes, dog skins, machines, and backgrounds, compete in leagues and leaderboards, and participate in seasonal events. Focus Dog also supports open-ended sessions, live notifications, Google Assistant commands, home-screen shortcuts, CSV exports with Pro, and donations that turn gifted gems into meals for real shelter dogs.
