Work Capy

Work Capy is a focus timer with a capybara who is sitting in a hot spring on your time.

Start a session and put the phone down. Open something else mid-session and you get one warning. Do it again and Capy climbs out of the bath — the session is forfeit and pays nothing. That's the deal, and it's the whole reason it works.

SOMETHING TO LOSE
A timer with no consequences is a stopwatch. Leaving twice ends the run: no coins, and the time doesn't count towards your total. Nothing else is taken — your streak, your coins and everything you've unlocked are untouched. One slip costs you one session, not your week. And nothing you can buy or watch will undo a forfeited session.

ONLY LEAVING COUNTS
Locking the phone isn't leaving, however long the screen stays off, and neither is taking a call. Pausing is free. With notifications on, wander into another app and a heads-up can reach you while there's still time to come back.

GENTLE MODE
If stakes aren't what you need today, one switch in Settings turns them off entirely and Capy stays put no matter what. The app never decides that for you.

A POMODORO TIMER, IF YOU WANT ONE
Switch on Pomodoro sets and soaks come in fours: a five-minute break after each, fifteen after the fourth. Or set one long block of deep work and leave it alone. It works as a study timer just as well as a work one, exam season included.

DESK MODE
Keeps the screen awake and dims everything down, so your phone becomes a quiet desk buddy instead of a thing you pick up. If you get more done with someone beside you — body doubling — a capybara counts.

HE LIVES OFF YOUR FOCUS
Capy sits in the water while you work. The hours you put in heat his bath: steam, a floating yuzu, then a bird, a turtle and a frog who all decide this is the spot. He is not proud of you. He is just very comfortable. You can name him, and pet him whenever you like.

SEASONS
Halloween, 20 October – 2 November: three hours of focus earn a jack-o'-lantern for the onsen, eight a witch hat. Winter, 1 December – 5 January: a snowman at three hours, a snowy onsen scene at eight. Both come back every year. Season items are earned, never sold.

CAPY COINS AND CAPY'S DEN
Every finished session pays out coins. Spend them on hats, sunglasses, outfit recolours, things for his bath and scenes that re-skin the whole app.

PROFESSION THEMES
Capy can be a student, a programmer, a designer, a doctor, a marketer or — regrettably — a vibecoder. Each one changes his outfit, the scene behind every screen and his job title. Buy the one you are, buy all six at once, or earn each one with focus hours: from 15 in total (Student) to 220 (Vibecoder).

THE CAPY PASS, AND ADS ONLY WHEN YOU ASK
No banners and no interstitials: only short videos you choose to watch, for coins. The Capy Pass, bought once and kept for good, switches even those off, doubles the coins from every session, and adds the Chef Hat, the Halo, the Monocle and the Rainy Window scene. Everything does what it says: the Pass and all six professions, in one purchase.

STATS YOU CAN ARGUE WITH
A heatmap of your focus, day by day, and an optional daily goal shown as a ring. Streaks, clean runs, where your time went by label, and a record of what you actually got done — including the sessions you lost. The month gets a recap card sized for stories.

NUDGES, IF YOU WANT THEM
A gentle daily nudge at a time you pick, skipped once you've soaked, and a Sunday recap. Both are off until you switch them on.

GOOD FOR
Deep work and writing sprints, homework and exam revision, ADHD-friendly focus with a capybara for body doubling, and staying off your phone one session at a time.

NO ACCOUNT, NO MUSIC
Your sessions and stats stay on your device, and the timer works offline. It runs on real wall time: reopen the app and you're back in the running session. There's no music or ambient sound, on purpose. Every purchase is one-time, never a subscription, and the focus timer itself is never paywalled.
