Your net worth builds a city that levels up over time — a soft, satisfying picture of how far your focus has taken you. Investing unlocks a Finance District.
Not just beautiful — actually yours.
Apps like Forest are pretty, but the aesthetic is fixed. StudySalary's room is yours to configure: the theme, the wall decor, the shelf, the floor piece, the ambient sound. Every study session earns the currency to unlock more. Open the app and the space you built is waiting.
And it's still a proper Pomodoro timer — customizable durations, breaks, auto-start, daily goals, and a background timer that tracks accurately even when you switch tabs.

Questions about the aesthetic timer
- What makes this Pomodoro timer aesthetic?
- Instead of a bare countdown, you study inside a cozy Focus Room with a soft lamp glow, a window backdrop that matches your ambient sound, a live coin jar filling as you focus, and a Salary Cat. As you study you unlock room themes — Sunset Loft, Night Owl, Neon Arcade — and decor for the wall, shelf, and floor.
- How many room themes are there and how do I unlock them?
- There are six themes: Cozy Cream (free from the start), Sunset Loft (unlocked at $100 lifetime salary), Forest Study (15 sessions), Night Owl (5-day streak), Seaside Desk ($2,500 net worth), and Neon Arcade ($25,000 net worth). Unlock conditions are economy-gated — earned by studying, not purchased.
- What decor items can I add to my room?
- The room has three slots — wall, shelf, and floor. You can place items you've unlocked: posters, a wall clock, a scholar pennant (wall); a potted plant, book stack, trophy (shelf); a cozy rug, star rug (floor). More items unlock as your sessions, streak, and net worth grow.
- Can I customize how the room looks?
- Yes. The Decorate panel lets you switch themes and place decor items in each slot. Your choices are saved and synced to cloud if you sign in. The room you set is what greets you every time you open the Focus Room.
- What is the Study City?
- Your net worth — cash plus simulated investments — powers a city that levels up as it grows. It's a calm, visual way to see weeks of focus add up into something that looks like real progress. Buildings and a finance district unlock at milestones as you earn and invest.
- Does the Focus Room scene change with the sound I pick?
- Yes. The window backdrop is synchronized to your ambient choice: grey and rainy for rain, soft orange glow for café, bright morning for birds, deep amber for fireplace, and cool blue for ocean. Visuals and audio reinforce the same vibe.
- Is it still a real Pomodoro timer underneath all the visuals?
- Completely. Customizable focus and break lengths, long-break intervals, auto-start options, daily goals, and a background timer that tracks accurately even when you switch tabs — all of the function is there. The aesthetic layer sits on top of a proper, no-nonsense study timer.
- Does studying in the aesthetic room actually help focus?
- Creating a consistent, intentional study environment — even a digital one — is a recognized focus strategy. Having a space that looks and sounds specifically like 'study time' can help cue the mental state for work. The cozy room is designed to feel like an inviting place to clock in, not a chore.
