A timer for the long exhale.

Dopodoro™ is a personal answer to a personal problem. Most focus apps feel like productivity gyms, bright colors, streaks, badges, leaderboards. The kind of energy that turns deep work into another race to fail at.

I wanted something quieter. A timer that starts a Pomodoro, finishes it, and gets out of the way. Something that feels as good to come back to as a favorite mug.

So I built it. Dopodoro is a Pomodoro timer for iPhone, calm by default, ADHD-aware by design. On-device AI that helps you start, a soundscape engine, and gentle progress that never shames an empty day. Everything stays on your phone, because that's where it belongs.

The name

"Pomodoro" is Italian for tomato, Francesco Cirillo named the technique after the kitchen timer he used in the '80s. Dopodoro adds the part nobody talks about: dopamine. Every finished focus is a tiny hit, and the name says so out loud. Dopamine + Pomodoro = Dopodoro.
