Focus with a tiny friend.
Sometimes getting started is easier with a little company. A small timer can make space for the next page, the next idea, or a quiet stretch of work.
Stay With Lotl pairs a count-up focus timer with a pixel axolotl. Time together helps your Lotl grow and brings new friends into your tank. Pause when you need to; your Lotls stay with you.
How it works
Start small
Open the free timer for studying, working, reading or creating. Pause whenever you need.
Watch a friendship grow
Accumulated focus time moves your Lotl through five growth stages and earns points. Every 100 minutes can welcome a new companion, up to five.
Make it yours
Name your Lotls, pet them, and try different outfits. Earn customization points by focusing; optional purchases are available.
A closer look
A companion you keep
Your tank and accumulated progress remain when you close the app. No account registration is required.
A simple place to focus
The free timer counts up. Lifetime Premium adds 25-minute Pomodoro focus with 5-minute breaks, detailed stats and adjustable growth pace.
A gentler update is on the way
Version 1.8 has been submitted and is awaiting App Review. It adds Korean and Japanese, private session memories and optional share cards, and removes affection loss after an absence. These changes become available after App Store approval.
A few details
Can I start for free?
Yes. The count-up timer, growth and earned-point customization are included. Pomodoro and detailed stats require optional lifetime Premium.
Will my Lotls disappear if I take a break?
No. Your Lotls and accumulated focus progress remain. Version 1.8 also removes the older daily affection decrease.
Does it track me?
The app has no ads or third-party tracking. Lotls and progress use local storage and your existing iCloud save. Apple provides aggregate App Store reporting.
