The Nerd Squirrel treehouse getting cozier with each upgrade

How it works.

  1. 1

    Pick one task.

    Add what you need to get done and estimate it in focus sessions.

  2. 2

    Focus with your buddy.

    25 minutes with your squirrel studying by your side. Breaks start on their own, so you never forget to rest.

  3. 3

    Earn acorns, build a treehouse.

    Every focused minute earns an acorn. Spend them on fairy lights, plants, a bookshelf and more.

What's inside.

Focus, the pomodoro way

Focus sessions with short and long breaks, all adjustable. Always see what is next, with real clock times.

A to-do list that keeps you honest

Estimate each task in focus sessions, pick one, focus on just that and watch it fill in.

Build a cozy treehouse

Acorns buy upgrades like fairy lights, a knitted rug, a telescope and a record player.

Streaks that keep you going

Set a daily goal, grow your streak and see your last 7 days, total focus hours and a calendar.

Focus music, built in

Lo-fi beats, soft piano, ambient, café jazz and acoustic, plus white noise, soft rain and deep rumble.

Private by design

No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Everything stays on your iPhone.
