Getting Started
Welcome to Nurrow! This guide will help you install the app and complete your first focus session.
Takes about 5 minutes1Get Started on Mobile
Nurrow is available now on Android and iPhone. The Windows and macOS desktop apps are coming soon; download the mobile app to get started today:
Heads Up for Windows Users
When the Windows desktop app launches, you may see a SmartScreen warning on first install. Click "More info" then "Run anyway" to proceed; this is normal for new applications.
2Install the Browser ExtensionComing Soon
The browser extension syncs with the desktop app to block distracting websites, so it will be enabled once the desktop app ships. For now, focus sessions and website blocking are available on mobile:
3Add Sites to Your Blocklist
In the Nurrow app, click on "Blocked Sites" in the sidebar. Add websites that distract you during work:
- twitter.com
- reddit.com
- youtube.com
- instagram.com
You can always add or remove sites later.
4Start Your First Focus Session
Return to the main timer screen and click "Start Focus Session". The default is Pomodoro mode (25 minutes work, 5 minutes break).
During your session:
- • Your blocked sites will be inaccessible
- • Your pet companion will watch your progress
- • An alarm will sound when time is up
✓Earn Your First Reward!
After completing your first session, you might earn an egg! Check the Hatchery to see if you got one. Start hatching it to discover your first pet.
Congratulations!
You're on your way to building better focus habits.
