Everything it does, and why.

Dopodoro is one calm loop with real depth underneath. Here’s the whole thing, organised the way you actually use it: decide, enter, stay, learn, then come back.

The loop

Four phases, one motion.

  1. 01

    Decide

    Morning brief, brain dump, pick one for me, and break it down. Mess in, one clear next thing out.

  2. 02

    Enter

    Just 5 min lowers the bar, a soundscape sets the state, the calm dial starts, and a Live Activity spins up.

  3. 03

    Stay

    Park a thought captures a stray without leaving. Screen Time app blocking holds the door. +5 instead of breaking.

  4. 04

    Learn

    Every finished session lights a star in your Constellation. A private weekly review notices your wins, never a scorecard.

Depth you grow into, never a wall.

On-device AI

The AI helpers run on Apple’s Foundation Models, entirely on your phone. No cloud round-trip, no account, nothing logged, and they work offline. On iPhones without Apple Intelligence they gracefully step aside.

  • Brain dump, a paragraph in, structured tasks out
  • Pick one for me, an energy check-in, one task chosen with a reason
  • Break it down, any task into a few starting-sized steps
  • Weekly review, a one-paragraph recap, written on-device

Soundscape engine

A focus environment generated on-device and offline: brown, pink, and white noise, rain, ocean, café, plus binaural and isochronic tones you can mix. Some people find these help them settle in; try them and keep what works.

  • Starter set free, full library + custom generator in Dopodoro+
  • Layer ambient noise under the tones
  • Runs offline, nothing streamed, nothing tracked

Liquid Glass design

Apple’s Liquid Glass on the controls, a warm colour mesh beneath. Calm, native, and unmistakably Dopodoro, with colour and motion doing the talking. Turn on Reduce Transparency and it falls back cleanly.

  • Electric Azure primary, dopamine accent palette
  • A calm stroke-ring timer dial, never a glass gimmick
  • Full light and dark themes, easy on the eyes in both

Apple ecosystem

Deep iOS integration a web app can’t copy. The timer survives Silent and Focus modes, backgrounding, app kills, and reboots, and lives on every surface you already use.

  • Live Activity + Dynamic Island, countdown, ring, controls
  • Home Screen widgets and Control Center controls
  • Siri, App Shortcuts, Spotlight, Focus filters, HealthKit
  • Screen Time app blocking while you focus
  • iCloud sync, your sessions, no Dopodoro server

Tasks, stats & helpers

A task system that’s Todoist-easy on the surface and quietly deep underneath. Natural-language quick add, an inbox, projects and tags, none of it required to start. Honest, gentle stats that never shame an empty day.

  • Start a focus session from any task
  • Natural-language quick add, smart views, project templates
  • Focus heatmap, gentle streaks with a grace day
  • Full stats history + export (Dopodoro+)

Seven small helpers for the stuck moments.

One on-device AI, seven small jobs. Each helper takes a moment where ADHD brains tend to stall and makes it one tap smaller. Private, works offline.

  • Pick one for me an energy check-in, one task chosen with a reason
  • Break it down shrinks any task into starting-sized steps
  • Brain dump a messy paragraph in, structured tasks out
  • Park a thought catches strays without ending the session
  • Just 5 minutes lowers the bar when starting feels impossible
  • Morning brief a gentle look at the day before it starts
  • Weekly review a private recap that notices your wins

Free is the working app. Plus is patronage.

Free, forever

  • The full timer, five research-backed presets: Classic, Long Focus, DeskTime, Sprint, Ultradian
  • On-device AI helpers, standard depth, with daily caps
  • Around 3 projects, natural-language quick add
  • Starter soundscape set
