Hamster Focus

How do I start?

Choose 15, 25 or 50 minutes, then drag your hamster onto the wheel. The countdown starts immediately. Sessions are started manually; there are no automatic breaks or app-blocking features.

What happens if I leave the app?

You can cancel without a failed session during the first 10 seconds. After that grace period, leaving the app for more than 10 seconds ends the session without seeds. A screen lock is exempt when the operating system reports it. On iPhone, this relies on protected-data notifications; a phone without a passcode or a short lock may not report a lock, and the app then applies the normal absence rule. Keeping the screen on during focus is enabled by default. Force-quitting during a session causes it to be marked as failed when you next open the app.

How do I earn and spend seeds?

Complete a session to earn one seed per selected minute: a 25-minute session earns 25 seeds. Spend seeds on a water bottle, food bowl, hideout, cork tunnel or sand bath. Purchases use in-app seeds, not money.

How do ads work?

The iPhone version is ad-free: there are no banners, rewarded ads or ad-based seed doubling. On Android, an optional rewarded ad can double a completed session’s seeds once, when an ad is available. A banner may appear on the home screen after your first completed result. Ads are not shown during a focus session. If an ad cannot load, you can continue using the timer and keep your base session reward.

Is there an account or cloud save?

No. Progress is stored on your device. There is no account, developer-operated cloud save or progress transfer service. Removing the app can remove its locally stored progress. The timer and cage items work without an internet connection; ads and online help need a connection.

What does “I’m interested” do?

The collection screen previews possible future Pro features. The interest button records interest in that offer; it does not purchase anything, collect your email or sign you up for release notifications. Rare hamsters and Pro purchases are not available in this version.

How can I manage notifications?

Local notifications are optional. You can change permission in your device settings for Hamster Focus.
