Focus Timer: FocusGarden

Plant a tree while you focus.

FocusGarden is a focus timer that turns every session into a tree. Press start, a seedling grows in the middle of the screen, and when the timer ends it joins your forest for good. Stay focused, get things done, and watch the proof of it grow.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Pick a tag for the task in front of you: work, study, fitness, or one of your own.
2. Start the focus timer. A seedling appears and grows as the minutes pass.
3. Stay in the app. Switch away for too long and the tree withers.
4. When the timer ends, the tree joins your forest and your streak moves forward.

That's it. No account, no setup wizard, no feed to scroll.

EVERY TREE REMEMBERS HOW THE SESSION WENT

The marks on the trunk aren't decoration. They're a record of the session itself:

• How many times you paused
• How many times you switched to another app
• How long your streak was at the time
• Whether you planted it late at night

The same species grows differently depending on how the session went. Look through your forest and you can tell which sessions were effortless and which ones you had to fight for; patterns like "I always drift in the evening" show up within a few weeks.

THE ONES THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT STAY TOO

Give up halfway and the tree withers, then stays in your forest: faded and leaning, but never deleted. A forest is an honest record, not a trophy shelf. Seeing last week's withered trees standing next to this week's healthy ones is often what brings you back tomorrow.

61 SPECIES, AND 20 OF THEM CAN'T BE BOUGHT

Those 20 are earned only through focus: early mornings in a row, late-night sessions, one long unbroken stretch, hours accumulated. No amount of money unlocks them. That's deliberate.

The rest are available in the shop, including 5 seasonal and 6 rare species. From a classic oak and a cherry blossom to a desert cactus, a lotus, and a Venus flytrap, every species has a full dex entry with all five growth stages and a story of its own.

WHO IT'S FOR

• Students preparing for exams who want a Pomodoro timer that makes a study session feel finished
• Remote workers who need a concrete reason not to open one more tab
• Readers, writers, and anyone learning something on their own
• Anyone who has tried a habit tracker and wanted something that shows the work instead of counting it
• People who care about privacy and want their data on their own phone, not on a company server

FOCUS TOOLS

• Pomodoro and count-up modes
• Adjustable focus, break, and long-break lengths, long-break interval, and daily goal
• A to-do list, with tags you can attach to each session
• Strict mode: leave the app and your tree withers, with an allowlist for the apps you actually need
• 8 ambient sounds: white noise, rain, waves, forest, campfire, stream, late night
• 12 backdrops, from Morning Garden to Aurora Night

PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE

A focus timer only helps if you come back to it tomorrow, so the numbers are right there:

• Streaks, total hours, this week vs last week
• The tag you invest the most time in
• 100 achievements
• Yearbook: a whole year of focus laid out in one image
• One-tap shareable result cards

No sign-up, no login. Your sessions, to-dos, and forest live on this device. There is no server to put them on and no analytics inside the app; whatever happens in it, we simply don't know about it.
