Imates
Said “i-mates”, as in internet mates.
A focus timer that doesn't leave you alone with it. Start a session and your character sits down at a desk in a shared study hall, alongside everyone who is focusing at that moment.

A room full of people working
When you study, your character takes a desk in the hall, and so does everyone else who is studying right now.
You can see who is working, on what, and how long they have left, and they can see you. A timer on your own is easy to abandon. A room where other people are visibly working is harder to walk out of.
The room follows your day: morning light through the window, a pool of it on the floor in the afternoon, and at night the lamps come on. Want company you know? Make a private room and share its code.
Focus the way that suits you
Set a length, or count up with no end. Turn on pomodoro and the breaks are handled for you.
While a session runs, a live countdown sits in your notification shade and keeps ticking with the app closed. Your statistics show your hours by day, week, month and year, your longest session, your streak and a calendar that fills in as you go.
Studying toward something with a friend? Make a shared goal: give it a name, set a target in hours if you want one, and invite them. Once they join, pick the goal before a session and those minutes count toward it. By default you each race to the target on your own bar; or put both of your hours into one bar and get there together. The goal shows both of your minutes side by side, so you can see who has been putting the time in.
Choose who sits at your desk
Every focused minute earns a token, and tokens buy new characters and desk pets: 25 characters and 45 pets, all animated.
It goes where you go
You sign in with Google, or with a code sent to your email: there is no password.
Your calendar, sessions, minutes, tokens and everything you have earned are kept with your account, so a new phone picks up where the old one left off.
The privacy policy says exactly what is stored, and you can delete your account from the app at any time.
