About
A timer for the long exhale.
Dopodoro™ started with an honest look at my own brain. The hard part was never focusing. Once I'm in, I'm in. The hard part is starting, that gap between "I should do this" and actually doing it, the one that can swallow a whole afternoon. Most focus apps assume you've already begun; their streaks and badges just add another race to fall behind in.
So Dopodoro asks for one thing and five minutes. On-device AI helps you pick a single task, break it into steps small enough to actually begin, and park the stray thought that shows up mid-session. And it never punishes an off day.
In Dopodoro, progress only accumulates. Every finished session ends with a spark and joins a quiet record of when you actually focus; miss a day and nothing burns down. All of it runs on your phone, no accounts, no servers, just tiny doses of done.
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.
