Deep Focus

iOS and web

A pomodoro timer that goes fishing.

A pixel cat sits on a dock and fishes while you work. Finish a session, catch a fish, spend the coins on rods, boats and stranger places to fish.

Play the web version How it works

The timer is free, forever, on web and iOS.

A pixel cat fishing from a dock at dusk. The line drops from the surface down into dark water where fish drift past.

The idea

Time is depth

There is no progress ring anywhere in this app. The timer is a fishing line sinking through a cross section of water, and the clock rides the bobber down as the session runs. Where the line stops is which water you fished in, and that decides what you catch.

A longer session is not rewarded with a bigger number on a badge. It is rewarded with visibly darker water and fish you cannot otherwise reach.

Under 15 min
Shallows

Bright water, busy with common fish. Good for a quick reset.

15 to 29 min
The Reef

The default 25 minute session lands here.

30 to 44 min
Deep Water

Colder, quieter, and the silhouettes start getting strange.

45 min and over
The Abyss

Almost black. Some fish live nowhere else.

Seven places

Travel repaints the whole screen

Each place has its own palette, its own fish and one absurd landmark. Moving to a new one changes the sky, the water, the lake floor, the dock and the tint of the silhouettes drifting past.

Home Dock

Dusk lake, small lighthouse. Where you start.

Donut Reef

Teal water, pink sky, a colossal sprinkled donut on the horizon.

The Big Cup

Brown water, a giant coffee mug, still steaming.

Rubber Duck Bay

Bright daylight blue, an enormous rubber duck.

Sunken Ruins

Mossy green, broken columns.

Drowned Arcade

Near black violet, a cabinet still glowing underwater.

The Big Can

A tipped soda can in red water. No shoreline.

Boat only

Boats add depth on top of your rod, and open six offshore fish that will not bite from the dock.

The tank

54 fish to find

Every catch goes in the tank. Rarity runs from common to mythic, and the rarest things in the water only show up deep, late, or somewhere absurd.

The timer is never paywalled

Unlimited sessions, unlimited breaks and full stats are free forever, on web and on iOS. Money buys more world to fish in, not permission to concentrate.

Miss a session and nothing bad happens. Reeling in early gives you nothing, and the app says so plainly. That is the whole penalty.
