PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Dayroad brings pixel-art drives, a Focus Journal, and a growing Home together in an iPhone focus timer. Choose your task, make time for it, reflect on your habits, shape your own space, then take a cafe break.

For moments when starting feels difficult or another app pulls you away. Choose your task and duration; the car drives automatically while you study, read, or work. Choose a 10, 25, 45, or 60-minute preset, or set hours, minutes, and seconds. An activity name is optional. Focus Drive starts in automatic mode. Pause and resume the timer, and choose whether to show the remaining time. Focus Lock optionally blocks selected apps and categories with Screen Time permission. Website blocking is not supported. A Lock Screen Live Activity can show the remaining time, with a completion notification. Availability depends on device support, permission, and notification settings.

Unlock the mailbox at Home stage 1 to open the Focus Journal. Move between Summary, Calendar, Analysis, and Log to reflect on time actually spent focusing. Review focus totals, trends, and comparisons by period. More details include completion rate, streaks, and badges for accumulated focus. Choose a calendar date to see its focus time and sessions. Change the date or period to revisit earlier records. Session lists and details distinguish the target, actual focus time, and completion status. Recording time and awarding Stamps follow separate rules.

Start with a name, or choose a saved activity. Organize time with activities and folders, then explore your own focus habits in Analysis. Folders support two levels. Parent totals include subfolders. Review focus time by folder or by activity. Save and reuse activity names, or choose from recent and favorite activities. Edit record names and categories, and filter by folder. Choose a period and folder to explore weekdays, time of day, and session lengths. Compare folder colors and inspect chart segments.

Each 25 accumulated minutes of actual focus earns one Stamp. Remaining time carries into the next session. Save the required Stamps, then spend them yourself at Home. Completing Japan’s 35 Home stages sets its remaining Stamp balance and carried time to zero, ending further Stamp awards there. Actual focus time, session history, and badges continue to accumulate.

From a small house to changing gardens and everyday scenes, Home develops through 35 stages. The mailbox opens at stage 1, car customization at 2, the avatar at 3, and the nameplate at 5. Choose your avatar’s gender, skin, hair, and outfit. Use unlocked options to make yourself part of the scenery. Choose a red or white car. Your selection appears at Home and on your drives. Enter a name for the plate outside your Home. The nameplate menu appears after its stage is unlocked.

Focus starts with automatic driving. Separate driving controls let you choose automatic or manual control, speed, and Top or Side View. Set the time of day automatically or manually; choose clear or rainy weather manually. Adjust music, ambience, and effects; rest at the cafe or set off again. Avatar and dog routines at Home, and changes in the surrounding scenery, give focusing and unwinding a shared setting.

Supports on-device saving, personal iCloud sync, and JSON export and restoration. Sync depends on your Apple account, iCloud, and network conditions. Keep separate backups of important records. Open the Travel Atlas from Home to explore the current Japan area. The available Focus Drive is set in Japan. Other area listings do not mean playable content; additional regions and purchase scope follow separate announcements. The app UI supports Korean, Japanese, and English. See the App Store for device compatibility.

Free Drive stays free, with no time limit. It does not award focus rewards. Try Focus Drive, set against Japanese scenery, for 75 cumulative minutes. After that, a one-time Focus Drive Pass purchase unlocks continued access. There is no subscription, auto-renewal, or automatic charge when the trial ends. The pass covers the current Japan-themed Focus Drive. Additional regions may be sold separately. Purchase restoration is available in the app.

Visible records and a growing space are designed to make the next focus session feel like a small step forward.
