About

Dopamine Diner

Features
Read full description

Build a five-course menu of activities that can help when choosing feels hard. Tell the kitchen how much time and energy you have, get one suggestion, and record how you feel afterward. Explore 108 included inspiration cards in three languages, see your order history and weekly rhythm, switch between four appearance themes, and share your menu. Every feature is included. A banner appears at the bottom of the screen, and a full-screen ad may appear only after order completion or send-back pauses. The optional one-time Remove Ads purchase hides both. Your menu and records stay on this device. No account, no cloud, no analytics. Japanese, English and Simplified Chinese are supported, and everything except the purchase works offline. Dopamine Diner is a self-care companion, not a medical device.
