A Pomodoro timer levels up your samurai
Turn your to-do list into a samurai training arc
What this is
A Pomodoro-style focus timer themed as a feudal-Japan RPG where finishing tasks levels up your character — a gamified habit tool, not a Japanese-language app.
Our one-line summary — not the founder’s tagline.
- How it works
- A Pomodoro-style focus timer reimagined as a feudal-Japan RPG: pick a class (Samurai, Ninja, Zen Monk, Ronin, Onmyoji), and each focus session earns Ki and Ryō, levels up your character, and fills daily/weekly duty boards.
- Pricing
- Free to play, with an optional Founder Pack for early supporters.
- Best for
- People whose focus needs a reward loop to actually sit down and work.

League price & chart
No money. No seat. It goes on your record — and in 28 days reality settles it.
Calls are closed while we rebuild accounts. You can still read every one of them.
Productivity. Launched 14d ago on Product Hunt, picking up 4 votes. Today, the site itself changed 2h ago — evidence it's still shipping, not just announcing.
Moving right now. The clock only starts when a launch goes quiet.
We check this site every day, ourselves. A founder can post “still working on it” — a claim like that doesn't price. What we price is what we can verify from the outside: evidence, not announcements. The real question isn't “will this be huge?” — it's “will they still be moving in four weeks?”

Beyan değil kanıt: founder “çalışıyoruz” diye post atabilir, ama sevk ettiyse izi kalır. ⚠️ Kaydı olmayan ürün “sevk etmedi” demek değildir — o üründe izleyecek bir kaynağımız yok demektir.
The market viewHow this launch is priced and ranked in our league — the investor side of the page.
ranked by the reality anchor, not the market price
It launched on Product Hunt with 4 votes.
No matter how much money goes in. There is no pump here — you can't make yourself right by buying more. The line only moves on things that actually happened: an award, revenue that grew, a new platform, code that shipped — or silence.
En eski 1 hareket bu listede yok — toplam 13 olay var. 2 quiet days in between are left out — nothing happened on them. A launch that goes quiet eases down a little at a time — never a cliff you could have run from the night before.
No names, on purpose — a call is worth what it turns out to be worth, not who made it.
Daily tracking just started for this launch — the first point is on the board. A second reading lands with tomorrow's run, and the curve builds from there.
How the launch is moving on its own board, day by day — the crowd's attention.
A flat line is normal: votes stop within a day or two of launch, on every board. What's unusual — and what actually counts — is a launch that keeps pulling votes long after its day is over.

The board it did best on sets the price. Every other board only adds to it if the launch also placed high on that board too — because just showing up somewhere isn't an achievement. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
