Work Capy

a focus timer with something to lose

Put the phone down. He's in the bath on your time.

A focus timer with a capybara and an actual consequence. Open something else mid-session and you get one warning. Do it again and Capy climbs out — the session is forfeit and pays nothing. Stay put and he gets a nicer onsen out of your work.

How it works

♨️

Pick a length, start

15 to 90 minutes, an optional label for what you're on, and one of six ambience loops. Then the phone goes face-down.

🚪

Leaving costs you the session

Open something else and you get one warning. Do it again and Capy climbs out: the session is forfeit and pays nothing. Your streak and everything you own are untouched — one slip costs one session, never your week.

🪙

Finishing pays out

A coin a minute, more for a clean run, nothing at all for a forfeited one. Spend them in Capy's Den on hats, sunglasses and scenes that re-skin the entire app.

Built for actually being used

⏱️

A timer that tells the truth

The clock runs on real wall time, not tick counts. Lock the phone or force-quit it — reopen and you're in the same running session, with no minutes lost or gained.

🖥️

Desk Mode

Screen stays awake, everything dims down, and your phone becomes an ambient desk buddy instead of a thing you keep picking up.

🫧

He lives off your focus

A week of real sessions upgrades the onsen — steam, a floating yuzu, a bird who decides this is the spot. He isn't proud of you. He's just very comfortable.

📈

Stats you can argue with

A seven-day chart, streaks, clean runs and a record of what you actually got done — including the sessions you lost.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes, and the timer is never paywalled. The Capy Pass is a one-time purchase — not a subscription — that removes ads and unlocks every track, scene and cosmetic. Optional coin packs exist for people who'd rather buy a hat than earn it.

What about ads?

No interstitials, ever. There are exactly three rewarded videos in the whole app — double your coins after a session, borrow a Capy Pass track for a day, or top up in the Den — and every one of them is optional. Notably, no ad can bring back a session you forfeited. A consequence you can watch your way out of isn't one.

Do I need an account?

No sign-up, no login, no network required. Everything is saved on your device.

What happens if I leave mid-session?

The first time, a card tells you the session survived and warns you. The second time, Capy climbs out and the session is forfeit — no coins, and the time doesn't count. That's the entire penalty. If that's not what you need, Gentle mode in Settings switches it off and nothing can ever be lost.

Does the sound cover my music?

No — ambience mixes underneath whatever you're already playing, and keeps going when the screen is off.
