About this app
Nurrow is a focus timer and study timer with a virtual pet that grows when you do.
Pick a session length. 25 minutes for a Pomodoro, an hour for deep work, or anything that fits. Hit start. Your pet settles in next to you and waits while you study or work. When the session ends you've earned shards, the currency you spend on eggs, which hatch into new pets you can keep, collect, and care for.
The pet isn't a punishment system. Skip a few days and it gets a little glum, but it'll perk back up the next time you sit down. It's there to make starting a focus session feel less like work and more like showing up for something that's waiting on you.
WHY IT WORKS
Most focus apps stack timers on top of guilt. Nurrow flips it: the reward is small, frequent, and tied to something that feels alive. You're not chasing a streak for the streak's sake, you're trying to hatch the next egg, see what's inside, and figure out which pets you actually like.
If you have ADHD, or you've just never made a productivity app stick, the pet gives you a reason to start that willpower alone doesn't.
FEATURES
- Customizable focus timer for Pomodoro sessions, deep work, study sprints, revision, or any length you want
- A virtual pet that animates, reacts, and levels up as you focus
- Eggs and a collection of 100+ pets. Common ones hatch fast, rarer ones take real focus time
- Task list you can attach to study or work sessions, or skip entirely
- Streak tracking and stats that show your real focus hours, not vanity numbers
- Light and dark themes
- No ads, ever
- Notifications when sessions end, silent when they shouldn't be
A STUDY TIMER THAT ISN'T ANOTHER CHORE
Use it for homework, exam revision, thesis writing, coding, reading, or any work where the hard part is starting. The Pomodoro technique works, but a bare countdown timer gives you nothing to look forward to. Nurrow gives you a pet that's waiting on the other side of the session.
OFFLINE BY DEFAULT
No account. No email. No login. No tracking. Your data lives on your phone. If you uninstall, it's gone, and that's the trade-off for not handing your habits over to a server somewhere.
PREMIUM (OPTIONAL)
Unlocks the Forager, which lets your pet collect shards passively while the app is closed. Also includes exclusive pets and a few extras. The free version is a fully usable focus timer forever. Premium is for people who want more pets faster, not for people who want the app to actually work.
GOOD FOR
The 11 PM essay you've been avoiding. The third time you've picked up your phone in ten minutes. The hour you set aside to write but spent reorganizing your desktop. Students, writers, and anyone who's tried five productivity apps and bounced off all of them because they felt like homework.
Built by one person. Feedback goes somewhere a human reads it.
