Why Dopodoro never shames you

Most productivity apps run on pressure: streaks that shatter, trees that die, red badges that scold.

You miss a day, the app shows you the broken streak, and opening it tomorrow feels harder. After a few rounds of that, most people stop opening it.

For ADHD brains, the hard part is usually starting, and shame makes starting harder. Dopodoro is built for the opposite: you show up more when showing up feels safe.

• One thing at a time. You see one task, never the whole list.
• Five minutes counts. When 25 feels impossible, start with five.
• Smaller steps. On-device AI breaks a big task into a first step you can start, like “open the doc”.
• Park a thought. When something pops into your head mid-session, park it with a tap and keep going.

Your stats show what you did: a chart of your focus, a heatmap of when you focus best, and, with Plus, a private weekly recap. Streaks come with a grace day, so one bad Tuesday doesn’t erase three good weeks.

The words matter too. Dopodoro never says you “failed” a session or “broke” anything. Yesterday got away from you? No biggie. Pick one thing for right now.

No account, no servers of mine, no tracking. Your data stays on your devices and in your own iCloud, and the AI runs on your iPhone.

Dopodoro asks for one thing and five minutes. That’s all today has to be.

Tiny doses of done.
