A Pomodoro timer levels up your samurai
Turn your to-do list into a samurai training arc
Kakugo (覚悟 — "resolve" in Japanese) reimagines the Pomodoro technique as a feudal Japan RPG. Pick your class Samurai, Ninja, Zen Monk, Ronin, or Onmyoji and every focus session earns Ki and Ryō, levels up your warrior, and fills out daily and weekly duty boards. Built for people whose brains need a reward loop to actually sit down and focus. Free to play, with an optional Founder Pack for early supporters.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built Kakugo because I've tried basically every Pomodoro app out there and none of them made me want to open them.
They're all timers with a coat of paint.
I wanted something with actual stakes — where finishing a focus session felt like progress in a game, not just a checkbox. So Kakugo is built around five warrior classes (Samurai, Ninja, Zen Monk, Ronin, Onmyoji), each with its own stats and perks, and every session you complete earns Ki and Ryō that level up your character and fill out daily/weekly duty boards.
It's live on Google Play now, completely free to use. Would genuinely love feedback — especially on which class people gravitate toward and whether the reward loop actually gets you to sit down and focus. Happy to answer anything about how it's built too (it's a one-person project, so there are definitely rough edges I'm actively smoothing out).
🗡️ Which class are you?
