A Pomodoro timer with pets: make focus feel rewarding

A gamified timer adds progression to the familiar work-and-break routine. In Octodoro, completed focus sessions earn XP and coins, while ordinary eggs placed in nests gain incubation progress from completed focus. Your octopus, pets and customisations give that progress a visible home.

The timer still has a simple job: help you give one task a defined block of attention. Choose what you will finish before pressing Start, then use the game features when you return from the work.

1. Create a free account and follow the welcome setup for your username and octopus.
2. Near the end of the tutorial, choose your welcome egg. If you skip the tutorial, the unclaimed welcome gift remains available in Hatchery.
3. Claim the egg, then give it to the Hatch Master in your free Cozy Nest. Your starter egg is ready to hatch immediately.
4. Hatch the egg to reveal your companion. Open Pets to view your collection and choose which pet to equip.

Ordinary eggs work differently from the starter gift. Put an egg into a nest before settling down to study. Complete your focus sessions and save their reflections so the app can record the work and apply the eligible progress.

When the egg is ready, return to Hatchery and hatch it. Simply keeping an egg in storage is not the same as placing it in a nest. Treat hatching as a small moment between study blocks, rather than something to keep checking while the timer runs.

Before a session, write down one achievable result and check that any egg you want to work on is in a nest. Then close the collection and workshop. For the next session, the only target is the task you chose.

After you save the session, take your break. At the end of a larger study block, check the hatchery, equip a companion or customise your octopus. If collecting starts taking more time than studying, move all collection activity to the end of the day.

The Pomodoro timer and account are free, and the welcome gift includes a starter egg and access to the free Cozy Nest. You can earn progress through completed focus sessions. An account is required to keep your sessions and collection together.

Optional Premium extras and shop purchases are available. The timer does not require a subscription, and you do not need to buy an upgrade to begin your first session. Check the item or plan shown in the app before choosing any paid extra.
