Shrimpodoro
A pomodoro timer for your body
Your pomodoro breaks are making you tired.
Five minutes of scrolling turns into forty, and you come back curled up like a shrimp. Shrimpodoro locks your next pomodoro until you squat: 10 by default, or pick 5 or 20. About a minute. Less tired, better mood.
This is you after 3 pomodoros.
Your brain gets work done. Your body curls up. Scrolling doesn’t fix either.
Squat your way up Everest.
Every squat lifts you one meter. Pass a landmark, earn its badge: 17 around the world, from a little house to Everest (8,849 m), plus 3 from your own city.
Share your climb as a video, with a QR code so friends can try it.
Every pomodoro drops a tomato.
Pink if you squat. Black if you skip or give up.
Focus, curl up, squat, repeat.

Before you ask
What is Shrimpodoro?
Shrimpodoro is a pomodoro timer for iPhone. After each focus session, the next pomodoro stays locked until you do a set of squats (5, 10 or 20). Your iPhone's front camera counts the squats on-device. Finished rounds drop pink tomatoes into a pile; skipped rounds drop black ones.
What if I can’t squat right now?
Skip it. That round becomes a black tomato, and your next pomodoro starts.
Is my camera recording me?
No. Squats are counted on your phone and the video never leaves it.
Can I change the length or the number of squats?
Yes. Tap the timer to set any length from 5 to 120 minutes (25 by default), and pick 5, 10 or 20 squats per break.
Is it free?
Yes. The free version gives you 2 pomodoros a day and all 38 landmark badges. Shrimpodoro Pro adds unlimited pomodoros and week, month and year stats: $3.99/month, $19.99/year with a 3-day free trial, or $29.99 once for lifetime.
Do I need an account?
No. There's no sign-up. Your pomodoros and squats are stored on your iPhone.
Does it work on iPad, Mac or Android?
It's iPhone-only at launch (iOS 17 or later), with a Dynamic Island and Lock Screen timer. A Mac version is planned.
When can I get it?
iPhone first. Join the waitlist and you’ll get one email on launch day.
