Aquarium Zen: Retro

A hand-drawn black-and-white aquarium focus timer. Inspired by the original 1985 Macintosh, every fish is drawn by hand in pure black and white (no color, no clutter, nothing competing for your attention).

Aquarium Zen: Retro is an ambient aquarium that helps you actually get things done.


— THE AQUARIUM —

Ten species swim across your screen, each drawn by hand: Clownfish, Neon Tetra, Zebra Danio, Guppy, Betta, Angelfish, Swordtail, Harlequin Rasbora, Molly and Platy.

They aren't just decoration. Larger fish hunt smaller
ones and grow with every meal — the bigger the catch,
the more they grow. Leave it in Auto and the
population finds its own balance. A small ecosystem,
running quietly in the background.

— FOCUS TIMER —

A pomodoro-style timer built right in. Set any
duration you like, down to the second, and watch the
circular progress ring wind down. When time is up,
eighty bubbles burst across the screen. Simple,
distraction-free, satisfying.
