How PomoDuck works

Our mission is to make deep focus a habit people love — the Pomodoro method turned into a game, where every real minute of work grows something you care about.

Build the focus habit
Pomodoro timerClassic focus and break sessions. Giving up takes a 2-second hold — quitting has friction.
Session intentWrite what you'll focus on, then mark it Done, Partial or Not yet.
Daily goalPick 30m–8h a day. The bubble above your duck tracks the percent done.
Tasks & tagsOrganize your own quests — every claimed session pays seed or water.
StreakShow up daily. Streak, goal and finished intents lift Mood — ducks lay up to ×1.5 faster.
Reports & reflectionCharts, records, your best hour. A weekly reflection earns a mystery egg.
The loop
  1. Focus & rest1 focus min → 1 seed · 1 break min → 1 water, × your duck count
  2. Feed a ratio130 units per cycle — the seed : water mix picks the egg element
  3. Ducks lay eggsMood ×0.5–1.5 · feeding a duck its own element ×1.25
  4. Sell or crackSell → footprints · Crack → shards, footprints, dust
  5. Build & upgradeShards assemble new ducks and level DNA → you earn faster

Cracking an egg

Never nothing — dust pity-converts into the shard you pick.

Going deeper
DNA5 genes per duck, level 1→5 with shards + footprints. Cap rises as you focus.
Ascension ⭐Max all genes, then ascend for stars. Each star costs more and needs more focus.
MoodStreak, daily goal and finished intents make ducks lay up to ×1.5 faster.
GearAccessories add +1 egg per cycle. Skins are style — shop only.
