About this app
Nurrow is a focus timer with a pet that grows when you do.
You pick a length, 25 minutes, an hour, whatever fits. You hit start. Your pet settles in next to you and waits while you 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 the moment you start 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 trying to hit 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.
FEATURES
• Customizable timer for Pomodoro, deep work, study sprints, or any session 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 sessions, or skip entirely
• Streak tracking and stats that show your real focus hours, not vanity numbers
• Light and dark themes
• Notifications when sessions end, silent when they shouldn't be
OFFLINE BY DEFAULT
No account. No email. No login. No tracking. Your data lives on your phone. If you uninstall, it's gone — 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 fully usable 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. 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.
