Hi everyone. After trying a bunch of productivity apps that either felt like chores or paywalled the good stuff, I built my own from scratch the past 6 months.
It's called FocusBuddy — every focus session and completed task earns you coins to pull anime companions across six rarities. Think Pokémon meets Pomodoro but with cute chibi characters!
I specifically tuned it so Pomodoros give you the most coins — so if you really want to open more gacha chests, you've gotta do more focus sessions. The grind is the productivity.
I've just started advertising and heard reddit was a good place to show off my project!
Features:
- Full Pomodoro + task manager with recurring tasks, difficulty ratings, and daily quests
- Anime companion gacha with six rarity tiers, from Common to Secret
- Farm system so your collection earns coins passively
- Friends + leaderboard for healthy competition
- Stats, streaks, themes, skins, and mystery chests
The core app is completely free — premium unlocks AI chat with your companions and doubles coin rewards, but you can collect it all for free.
Would genuinely love feedback — let me know what buddies you pull and what you'd want added next!
Thank you for reading!
