Pomopal

A Pomodoro focus timer where every focus session raises a little fox on a floating island. Focus for 25 minutes, earn a snack from the garden, feed your fox and take a break. It hatches, grows up and reacts to everything you do, and it never gets sick or runs away.

Support

Something broken, a timer that looks wrong, or a question? Write to nubeostudio@gmail.com and you will get a reply from a person. Tell us your Mac model, your macOS version and the version in Settings, General, About.

Common questions

How do I start? Press Start focus, or Space, or use the fox in the menu bar. The timer keeps going with the window closed, while your Mac sleeps, and even if you quit and reopen.
How does my fox grow? Every finished focus grows one snack in the garden. Feed it to your fox to help it grow, from egg to baby, young and grown. Skipping or resetting a focus costs nothing.
What if I am away for days? Your fox just gets a little sleepy. One snack and it is happy again. It never gets sick and never leaves.
The screen dims during my break. That is a gentle reminder to look away. Choose Brighten for that break, or change it in Settings, Timer, Breaks.
Can I see the island from another side? Drag to turn it all the way round, and double-click or press Command-0 to go back.
Notifications. Pomopal asks after your first finished focus. From a notification you can feed your fox and start the break without opening the app. There is at most one gentle reminder per session, and none during quiet hours.
What is Pomopal Plus? One purchase, never a subscription, shared with your family: Spring, Autumn and Snow seasons that recolour the app too, fox coats and accessories, Rain, Stream, Fireplace and Ocean sounds, month and year stats with CSV export, and break dim colours. The timer and your fox's food and growth are always free. Bought it already? Settings, Plus, Restore Purchases.

Privacy

The short version: no account, no ads, no analytics, and Pomopal never connects to the internet except for Apple's App Store when you buy Plus. Everything stays on your Mac. The full privacy policy has the detail.

The island, the fox and every sound are made for Pomopal.
