A cute timer with a puppy

Pupmodoro is a study timer with a puppy in it. Press Start and the pup curls up for a nap. Keep working and it stays asleep, breathing slowly beside the clock. Tap it for a little woof.

Pick 10, 25, 50 or 60 minutes, or type any length up to 2 hours. When the time is up a soft chime plays and the pup wakes and stretches.

Cute, cozy and a little kawaii

The pup and its rooms are drawn in a soft crayon style with warm paper colors. Calm records play under your focus, from neo-soul to deep house, and you can blend in rain or a crackling fire. It is a cozy timer you won't mind leaving open all afternoon.

Why a cute timer helps

A plain countdown is easy to ignore. A small sleeping creature is harder to ignore: if you switch to another tab for more than 10 seconds, the pup wakes up to check on you and the round earns one biscuit fewer. That small nudge is the whole idea. More on that on the puppy timer page.

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

Can I name the puppy?

In the Pupmodoro app, yes: you name your pup the first time you open it and can dress it in outfits you unlock with focus time. On the web the pup is simply the pup.

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.

What is the music?

Original instrumental loops made for Pupmodoro: lo-fi, neo-soul, bossa nova, cool jazz, deep house and more, with no vocals.
