okay. me too.

2 of 4 grapes

Jeolmi is a focus timer and to-do list with a flat, deadpan seal pup that looks like a rice cake. Type “read chapter 4” and it picks up a book, then keeps holding it on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island while you work. Every real 25 minutes inks one grape.

iPhone only · iOS 26 or later · Free

How it works

Type it, lock it, ink it.

  1. Type a task

    Write it the way you normally would. As you type, the seal picks a paper prop that matches your words: a book, a dumbbell, a broom, a wallet.

  2. It holds your task

    Tap start and lock your phone. The seal stays on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, holding the prop next to your task. No need to reopen the app.

  3. Grapes ink

    Every real 25 minutes of focus inks one grape. Checked-off tasks add dotted grapes. Fill the day’s grape slots and the seal sits up and claps. Once a day.

The mirror

Whatever you write,
it brings the right prop.

Write it however you’d write it. The prop comes from a word list inside the app, so it changes the moment you type, with no server in between.

brought the book. right way up now. reading is still your part.

Try one

The props and the seal’s lines are the ones in the app.

  • No match? It holds a pencil in your subject’s color.
  • Long-press a task to hand it something else. It remembers that choice for that task.
  • Props collect on a shelf. Finish the task, or focus 10 minutes with it, and the prop goes on your prop shelf.

Lock Screen · Dynamic Island

Lock your phone.
The seal stays.

Tap start, then lock your phone. The Live Activity shows the seal, your task, the timer and today’s grapes, all in one strip.

  • In the Dynamic Island, the seal’s face and the timer. Touch and hold to open it up.
  • Pause and Done work right on the Lock Screen, and +5 on a countdown.
  • Only the timer moves. The seal holds still, and grapes appear once the app has counted them.
  • Not showing up? Turn on Live Activities in iOS Settings → Apps → Jeolmi.

Today’s grapes

One grape per
real 25 minutes.

Timer grapes are solid. Grapes from checked-off tasks are dotted, so you can always tell them apart. Each grape takes its subject’s color, which turns the day’s bunch into a tiny chart of your day.

  • 25 focus minutes · a solid grape
  • A checked-off task · a dotted grape
  • 12:30 in · half a grape, carried to next time

today’s grapes are all in. i clapped. once.

Fill the day’s grape slots and the seal sits up and claps. Once a day. Later grapes keep growing the same bunch, and the card of today’s grapes saves to Photos or goes out through the share sheet.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Anything else is on the support page.

Is it really free?

Yes. Everything in 1.0 is free, with no in-app purchases. Jelly only comes from focusing and finishing tasks. It can’t be bought.

Does it work on iPad?

No. Jeolmi is made for iPhone only and needs iOS 26 or later.

Is there an Android version?

No. Jeolmi is only on iPhone.

Where is my data? What about a new iPhone?

On your iPhone only. There’s no account and no cloud sync, so deleting the app deletes your data too.

Your data is part of your iPhone’s own backup (iCloud Backup or a computer backup), so restoring or moving to a new iPhone brings it along.

Which languages does it speak?

한국어, English and 日本語. It starts in your iPhone's language, and you can switch any time in the app under Settings → Language. The seal's voice and the widgets switch too.

Why “Jeolmi”?

It’s a spotted seal pup that looks like injeolmi, a Korean rice cake rolled in roasted soybean powder. It claps like a sea lion, then tells you it’s a seal. Every time.
