Helped me focus on work
Adorable presentation and it did helped me focus on work. I'm in the game industry as a storyboard artist and your app helped me concentrate during our current work from home situation. I also just purchased the pro version with the dev gift to support you and your small team. Your app inspires me and I would love to create a similar simple app to help people and spread good vibes. Thanks and good job! I have to learn how to create a game by myself now haha :)

Best for mental health
Hey, Hope you’re having a good time. I wanted to say how much I love the app, I suffer from anxiety and some health problems so working certain can be a burden but with I love it with your app, so thank for making this.

Dunno if it’s too soon to call but I think this app is changing my life.
I have to say recently I’ve found a few things more gratifying than feeding focus the fruits of my labour at the end of the day right before bed. I have to thank you for this app, it’s simple but effective, I’m currently at university and one thing I’ve been struggling with is knowing if I’m doing enough work but this app and the doughnuts are a great way of tracking how much I’m really doing.

Great productivity app!
I love this app! I have been using this since the start of the pandemic and it has increased my productivity on a daily basis. It really pushes me to finish what I’ve started esp in my studies. The goals also help motivate because I get excited everytime I get donuts for each time sets. Highly recommed this if you want to be strict in restricting your daily usage of your phone!!

Lovingly designed app
I was looking for an app for a long time that would keep me productive. I feel motivated and motivated to produce and feed donuts. Even tidying up the room is fun!

I love it
Its like maintaining a pet. If you dont stay focused he gets hungry.

Best app ever
This is a really great app. If you guys know what forest is, that’s basically what this is but free. It is great for kids and fun and playful. It will also help kids gain responsibility

Wow!
I'm surprised by this app. It is really good, and I appreciate you being able to make it downloadable on iPad, especially my ancient mini gen 1. The design is very simple and cute, and I love it. As for the app, it works perfectly and has an element of responsibleness needed to complete tasks, which makes the user engage in their productivity. Great overall! No bugs so far. 😄

It is so fun that it keeps me going
I love how fun it is and the fact that it is so fun is what motivates me. I just wish that there was some part of the app where I can see my focus and maybe pet it during breaks or something. Ignore me if this feature already exists for pro users or something.

So happy I found this app
This is a well made app! It’s very cute and it works! I have so much trouble with procrastination. I’ve used A LOT of different apps. Most of them are ones where I plant trees, which got kind of boring after a while. I like this one because I have a choice on whether I want a set timer or if I just want to start the timer from zero. There are a lot of things to unlock. One thing I would like is if I would be able to choose my own dog and watch him eat or grow when I feed him the donuts I’ve earned. The free version works well, but I decided to do the one-time payment for this app because I wanted to buy an indie developer some coffee.

10/10
I adore this app! I’m a writer and it’s really helped motivate me through hours long sessions! I recommend it to anyone! 100% more productive as a result!

Game changer
My metrics at work are so much better and I’m retaining so much more information from studying too.
CheekySweetie, October 04, 2019
Wow
This app has been one of the many I’ve tried to help me focus, and is the only one to succeed. I am the type of person who loves to reach towards goals, but has a hard time doing so. This app lets me reach small goals inside the app, by reaching larger ones outside of it. If you’re a similar type of person, this app is perfect. ❤️
