hey product hunt! 👋 i built Lulu because traditional pomodoro timers always gave me so much anxiety. the loud ticking clocks, harsh alarms, and rigid rules felt more like a stress test than a helpful focus tool—especially when trying to overcome phone distraction or executive dysfunction. i wanted something gentle that actually made starting work feel nice rather than overwhelming. with Lulu, focus sessions feel like a cozy game. as you stay on task, distracting apps like tiktok or instagram get blocked, and you earn carrots to decorate a cozy room for a llama companion. it's free on the app store today, and i'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any features you'd like to see next! 🦙✨

Love the no-account thing and the calm timers, that alone makes me want to try it. One idea: let me pick which apps get blocked per session instead of a fixed list. Sometimes I need Reddit blocked during writing but open during a break, and a quick toggle before I hit start would make the whole flow feel even more personal.

thanks so much Chapman! really glad you like the calm timers and friction-free setup.
that per-session custom app blocking idea is honestly brilliant. having quick toggles depending on whether you're in deep writing mode versus a light break makes complete sense.

adding this straight to our product roadmap! out of curiosity, would you prefer quick preset profiles (like "Writing" vs "Break") or just a quick toggle screen before hitting start?

Love that the timer doesn't make that frantic ticking sound, it actually feels calming to focus with. Earning carrots for my llama room is a cute touch too.
