About Knot by Knot: Pomodoro Focus & Study Timer
Knot by Knot is a cozy Pomodoro focus and study timer that turns your tasks into a sailing adventure. Write down one task, start the timer, and your little boat sails across the sea, one knot at a time.
Made for the moments when starting is the hardest part. Procrastinating, distracted or overwhelmed? Every work or study session gives you a small, visible reward, so the next step feels lighter. It's ADHD-friendly by design: one thing in view, short sessions, gentle rewards, and nothing that punishes you for stopping.
HOW IT WORKS
- Write down the one task you're working on. It stays on screen while you focus.
- Pick a 15, 25 or 50-minute Pomodoro session, or sail freely with no time limit.
- Your boat sails around the world, from port to port, while you focus.
- Listen to deep focus music, made with brown noise and a steady beat that many people with ADHD find calming, or turn on Zen mode and sail with nothing but the sea and your timer.
- Earn coins and XP for every focused minute, plus a bonus when you finish.
- Take a 5-minute break, then sail on.
A GAME THAT REWARDS DEEP WORK
- 30 ports to discover, each with an illustrated postcard and a short story about the place.
- Sea Journal: meet dolphins, sea turtles, flying fish, monk seals, flamingos, swordfish and even a fin whale.
- Fishing: buy a rod, catch fish during your sessions, and sell them at the next port.
- Messages in bottles with stories, sea quotes and pieces of old maps that lead to hidden coves.
- Upgrade from a tiny pram to a 70-foot yacht, with new sails, colours, flags and scenery.
CALM, NOT DISTRACTING
Nothing pops up while you focus. Rewards wait until the session ends. No ads, no notifications, and no streak that punishes you for taking a day off. Calm ocean sounds help block out noise.
GREAT FOR
- Studying, homework and exam prep
- Writing, coding and deep work
- Working from home
- Breaking big projects into small, doable sessions
- People with ADHD, and anyone who wants productivity that feels cozy, not stressful
