Music for coding and deep focus

Coding and other deep work go best with music you stop noticing: no lyrics, a steady tempo, no sudden changes. Pupmodoro's records are instrumental loops made that way, and they play under a focus timer so you can work in rounds.

Night Ferry (warm deep house) and Rooftop Set (neo-soul) are free here. The app has more for long sessions: Tailwind (liquid drum & bass), Clock Shop (a minimal marimba pulse), Paper Planes (gentle math rock), Pixel Snacks (lo-fi chiptune) and slow ambient records for when you need it quieter.

Keep the timer next to your editor

The pup only notices when this page is hidden. Keep the timer window visible beside your editor or on a second screen and it sleeps through the whole round. Switch to another tab or minimize the window for more than 10 seconds and it wakes for a peek.

Work in rounds

Start a 50 minute timer for a feature or a bug, or a 90 minute block for deep work, with a real break in between. Every round lands in the Sleep log, so at the end of the day you can see how much focused time you actually had.

How it works

Pick 10, 25, 50 or 60 minutes (or tap the minutes and type any length up to 2 hours), then press Start. The pup settles in to sleep.

Keep this tab open while you work. If you are away for more than 10 seconds the pup wakes for a peek; the timer keeps counting, but the round earns one biscuit fewer.

When the round ends the pup stretches and you earn dog biscuits: 1 for 10+ minutes, 2 for 25+, 3 for 50+. The jar holds up to 99.

Records

Records are seamless loops you can play under your focus. Rooftop Set and Night Ferry are free, and two more can be unlocked on the web with 4 biscuits each. The rest, from math rock and cool jazz to deep house and Ethio-jazz, have previews here and live in the app.

The green Nature mix record plays ten looping nature sounds you can blend with sliders: rain, waves, campfire, thunder, crickets, snowy wind, café, turning pages, a pool and deep space.

On iPhone, Apple Watch and Android

The Pupmodoro apps add a Lock Screen Live Activity and Dynamic Island countdown, a gentle chime when a round ends, every record and every scene, outfits for your pup, a weekly and monthly journal, focus rounds from Apple Watch, and sync across devices. They are a subscription with a 7-day free trial; the web version stays free.

Sleep log

Every round lands in the Sleep log: today's rounds on a little timeline, and this week as crayon bars with the biscuits you earned each day.

Questions

Will the music change or stop in the middle of a round?

No. Each record is a seamless loop and keeps playing until you pause it, even after the round ends.

Is Pupmodoro free?

The web version is free with no sign-up. The iPhone/iPad app (with Apple Watch) and the Android app are a subscription with a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan: $29.99 a year, $4.99 a month, or a one-time $49.99.

Does the timer keep running if I switch tabs?

Yes. The countdown never pauses. Being away for more than 10 seconds only wakes the pup and costs the round one biscuit.

Do I need an account?

No. Your biscuits, records and sleep log are saved in your browser. Sign in with Google only if you want them on your other devices and in the app.
