A minimal, calm timer for iOS that invites you to pause and focus. Pick a duration, start the timer, and unlock soothing color themes as you accumulate focus minutes.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
Really excited (and slightly nervous) to share my very first app with you all.
I built Momotaro because I couldn't find a simple, beautiful focus timer on the App Store that felt calm and inviting—most felt either too aggressive or overly complicated. I just wanted something minimal that helps you pause, breathe, and focus.
It's completely free, no strings attached. I'd love to hear what you think, feedback is incredibly welcome, especially from this community.
Thanks for checking it out! 🙏
This is beautiful work for a first app launch. The calm, minimal aesthetic is exactly what focus tools should be—most productivity apps feel like they're yelling at you. The color theme unlocking as positive reinforcement is a smart gamification move that doesn't feel manipulative.
One thing I've learned building systems that run 24/7: the less friction, the higher the adoption. How did you decide on the duration options? Curious if you tested shorter intervals (like 5-10 min) for people just starting to build the habit.
Congrats on shipping! 🚀
Wow! I didn't know iOS allows control over its UI elements.
Do you really can change UI of the lock screen and hide all the apps with your app??
Wow, Momotaro looks gorgeous! I love the idea of unlocking themes as I focus. Wondering if the background colors subtly shift during the timer or stay static? Super curious!
Thanks for your question. Not yet! But I am planning to add those if there is enough interest. How would you like to see this in the app?
Does your app also offers e.g. streak records? (Something like GitHub or Duolingo have.)
I think it keeps people motivated to stick to their routines. :)
how customizable are the focus sessions and rewards? Can you tailor them to different types of work (deep focus vs quick tasks)
