Hatch utilizes positive behavioral reinforcement to reward students for maintaining focus and completing tasks. We recommend starting with shorter sessions of 5-10 minutes and gradually increasing the duration as your child or student becomes more adept at staying focused for extended periods without interruption.

Is Hatch legit?
🤔 The Hatch app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
Don’t get me wrong, I like the app structure. I like how it’s a hatching game and how longer sessions give you rarer pets… but I hate the other features. First, no breaks. I get that some people might ask, well why can’t I just use the focus timer as a break? For me, it doesn’t provide the same satisfaction because I get a egg as a reward while the break IS supposed to be the break. Plus, this also unmotivates me as it makes me collect eggs faster (will quit this timer after collecting all pets). Second, the radio from the tutorial is nowhere to be found. Third, I hate how there’s no settings, no toggle, NOTHING. Fourth, there’s no alarm. Even if I finish my session, I can’t detect that I did because it doesn’t signal me. This brings me to my fourth issue, it deletes my timer when I return back to the app. Sometimes, I like to check the alarm to see how much time I have left after a assignment is finished. Well, I did just that, and I got JUMPSCARED by a void cutscenes with LOUD sounds (I have heart problems, don’t do me like this). This is SUPER annoying and is the reason why I’m quitting this app. Overall, this app barely even has the bare minimum.
Very good app!
The amount of times this encouraging app has put me on the right track is astonishing. I really don’t even know how I got alll my work done on time without it! (Spoiler: I didn’t😂)
Only recommendation is maybe some Lofi music or something? But other than that, really good app!
Great
I really like the app I now use my phone a lot less but one thing I think you should add is custom times so you can do more than two hours but overall it’s a great app!
Good concept
Simple to use
Easy to understand
Crashes when scrolling on the store
Sleep
I was running through the demo and started to work on a task, during that time my phone went to sleep.
When I opened the app again, I saw the Oh No message. Is there any way to use this app without constantly having to interact with it to keep the screen on?
Add a pause button and an alarm
Hey if you would like to may you add a pause button and an alarm when you are done
My middle schooler uses it every night
We put it on the iPad during math and reading. Positive behavior rewards for the win 🔥
Not what I was hoping for
I thought (I’m not sure why) that this app would encourage putting time into an activity in order to hatch and then evolve a creature. Maybe even multiple creatures (habits/activities) that could be labeled (i.e., piano, a language, etc). The creatures would grow and evolve along with whatever skill you are working on. After trying this app, I searched for one like described, but none exists. Can you create this please?
More varieties on animals
There should me more varieties of animals and reptiles etc
Think of Pokemon cards but for Hatch
Awesome App!
Great app for increasing focus by challenging you to hatch cute aliens to add to your collection. Focus sessions of 25 minutes or longer allow you to collect rarer creatures, with the rarest creatures saved for even longer focus sessions, which tempts you into focusing for even longer periods of time! But if you fail to stay off your phone for the entire time, your creature dies, which pushes you to remain focused for the entire time you set! Great backstories are given to each creature, and collecting them becomes a fun way of charting your focus. I’m not even a student, and I love this app—it’s made all the difference in the world when it comes to helping me focus on tedious tasks!
