pixeldoro
a cozy pixel world where you study, focus and hang out with friends.
25/5, 45/15, 15/3 or your own. stopwatch for long deep work. a real alarm when it's done.
six lofi + chill stations built in. they follow you around the world. rain and fog roll in while you focus.
tag what you're working on: exams, coding, reading. everyone nearby sees what you're on.
see where your hours go, split by tag. tomatoes stacking up week after week.
add friends and see what they're focusing on and where. drop into their room to study together, or have them over at yours.
adopt pets from the shop. they hang out with you and keep you company while you work.
every pomodoro earns coins. spend them on furniture, decor and whole new rooms, then move it all around in edit mode.
the folks around town hand out story, daily and weekly quests. finish pomodoros to clear them and unlock new places and backgrounds.
five places to study, each with its own crowd. more on the way.
real reviews from the app store and google play.
“Feels like club penguin but for real life goals”
“Not just a timer and not just a game that happens to include a Pomodoro timer: this is a game where you advance by using the timers, and the plot is directly tied to productivity.”
“It seems at first glance to be another study timer, but it is the only one that has gotten me to regularly look forward to doing work!”
“Top tier for neurodivergents”
“it feels similar to working in a coffee shop or library together with other people and it’s been incredibly motivating.”
“This app has helped me build a less resistant, if not outright positive, relationship with my tasks.”
a new update every few weeks. here's all of them.
pixeldoro is a free pomodoro timer inside a cozy pixel art world. you pick a spot, start a focus session and work next to real people doing the same. every session earns coins for your room, moves the story forward and adds to your stats. it has lofi radio built in and runs on iphone, ipad, mac, android, windows, linux, the browser and discord.
yes. the timer, the world, other players, friends, quests, pets and radio are all free, with no ads and no subscription. there's an optional one-time supporter pack: 25% more coins every session, a profile badge, premium skins, furniture, backgrounds and rooms, and a bonus quest.
both, but the timer comes first. the game only moves when you focus: finishing pomodoros earns coins, clears quests and unlocks new places. between sessions there's just enough to do to feel rewarding without pulling you off task.
yes. every character walking around or sitting at a desk is a real player focusing right now. you can see their timer, how many pomodoros they've done and what they're working on.
body doubling means working next to someone else so it's easier to start and keep going. it's why studying in a library or a coffee shop works. pixeldoro gives you that feeling without a camera or a schedule: open it any time and there are people locked in around you.
yes. add friends, see who's online and what they're working on, and visit each other's houses to focus side by side. lobbies let you switch servers and find a different crowd.
it's built for brains that tune out a plain timer. it rewards you just for showing up, other people focusing around you help you start, and the story gives you a reason to come back. it isn't a medical tool, just a cozier way to get going.
not yet. focus tags let you label each session (exams, coding, reading) and your stats split your time by tag. both are on the list.
iphone, ipad and mac on the app store, android on google play, windows and linux on pixeldoro.io, any browser at play.pixeldoro.io, and as an activity inside discord. sign in with your email and your progress, room and coins follow you to every device. it speaks 9 languages.

there's no public invite. finish 30 pomodoros and an invite shows up in the app.
it's a small server for the most active folks. see you there.
