I launched yet another Pomodoro app, and 800 users showed up in the first week

Yes, I know. There are toooooo many Pomodoro timers out there. But most of them have bad UI, are pricey, or just feel clunky for Gen Z users.

So I built https://studyfoc.us — a beautiful, aesthetic, no-login Pomodoro timer with built-in site blocking and a Chrome extension. Simple enough to just hit "start" and focus.

In 7 days: - 800 users - 1.9k pageviews - Avg session ~1 min - No ads, just posted on some communities on Facebook and Reddit

Next: building an iOS app with app blocking + premium tools. Web stays free.

How did you get those 800 users?
