"Momotaro is a focus timer app that takes a different approach to productivity by combining app blocking with personalized coaching powered by Apple Intelligence. […] What also sets Momotaro apart is its 'Sensei' feature — a personal focus coach that tracks your habits and progress, offering guidance based on your patterns and time of day. I like the cute character in the app as well as its minimalistic, full-screen approach."

— Federico Viticci, MacStories

"Adorable app blocker. A focus timer for iOS, built by a small team in Barcelona, that blocks your chosen apps for the duration of a session. The unlockable colour themes and giant type give this familiar idea a unique personality."

— Dense Discovery

"Es mi nueva app preferida para concentrarme sin distracciones, y Made in Spain. Visualmente preciosa."

— Eva Morell, El Club de la Cabaña

"An app for focus developed by the uber-talented Orlando F. Ruiz, because your brain needs 23 minutes to refocus after a distraction."

— Damian Bradfield, Any Given Sunday

"Una app gratuita para iPhone, hecha por un estudio de Barcelona, que con un diseño precioso te invita a bloquear las aplicaciones que elijas durante un tiempo determinado."
