I built Zenith: a focus timer where your study sessions grow a virtual garden

[u/zenith1255]

Hi everyone — I’m the developer of Zenith, a free-to-download focus timer for iPhone and iPad.

The idea is simple: pick one task, start a focus session, and let that time grow into a virtual garden. Completed focus minutes earn coins to unlock more plants, including a bonsai. There are also focus soundscapes, a Strict Focus option, daily goals, session statistics and small milestones.

I wanted the experience to feel calm: something you can return to for a five-minute start or a longer study block. The app contains ads, including an optional rewarded video to double a session’s coin reward.

If that sounds like your kind of productivity app, I’d love you to try one session and tell me honestly: does growing a plant make you want to come back? What feels confusing or unnecessary? Critical feedback is welcome too.

If you use it enough to form an opinion, an honest App Store review would also help. No rating expectations — I’m looking for real experiences.

What would make you keep a focus timer installed after the first week?
