Meet Pomo, your desktop companion

Pomo is an animated 3D mascot that lives on your desktop while you work. He follows your focus sessions, rests during breaks, and celebrates completed tasks.

  • See your remaining focus time and control sessions from the desktop
  • Start, pause, or resume focus and quickly add a task from Pomo's controls
  • Move and resize Pomo, show him only during focus, or choose quiet and reduced-motion modes
