Tiny doses of done.
The Pomodoro timer built for brains where starting is the hardest part.
One calm loop, not a feature list.
Most focus apps assume you’ve already started. Dopodoro is built around the part that’s actually hard, and around never punishing you when you slip.
-
Decide
“What do I even do right now?”
A quiet morning brief, a brain dump that turns mess into a list, and a pick-for-me that chooses one thing, and tells you why.
-
Enter
“Okay… starting is hard.”
Just 5 minutes is a doorway, not a mountain. A soundscape some brains find helpful sets the room, and the calm dial begins.
-
Stay
“Don’t let me drift.”
Park a stray thought without leaving. Screen Time blocking holds the door. Add five minutes instead of breaking the spell.
-
Learn
“Did that even count?”
Every session ends with a spark, then joins your focus history. A private, on-device weekly review shows when you actually focus best, no scorecard.
On-device AI for the stuck moments.
Small AI helpers, each built for one moment of the loop. They run privately on your phone, show up when you’re stuck, then get out of your way.
No Apple-Intelligence iPhone? The same buttons still work. You get simple built-in versions instead of the model.
- Pick one for me chooses your next task, with a reason
- Estimate it a realistic guess at the minutes, before you start
- Break it down turns a scary task into tiny steps
- Brain dump turns a mess of thoughts into a list
- Plan my day “90 minutes on the deck, then email” becomes a session plan
- Weekly review shows when you actually focus best
The actual app.
Three screens, straight from my phone. No mockups.
Pause, add five, or skip right from your Lock Screen: the timer follows you out of the app.
No accounts. No servers. No tracking.
-
Nothing to sign up for
No account, no email, no profile. You open the app and it works.
-
There is no server
Not a promise not to look. There is nowhere for your focus history to go.
