You don't need another budgeting app. You need somewhere to put the urge. Dopiq is the dopamine simulator built for Gen Z. Shop, Order Food, and get tickets — all with fake money — and feel the same rush you'd get from real spending. Build a streak. Beat the urge. THE URGE IS REAL. THE CHARGE ISN'T. Every impulse buy starts with a feeling, not a need. Dopiq gives that feeling somewhere to go without burning your bank account. A PAID SUBSCRIPTION IS REQUIRED TO USE DOPIQ. All features described below — including the Shop Simulator, Food Simulator, and Quick Sim — require an active Dopiq subscription. A 7-day free trial is available for new subscribers. WHAT'S INSIDE (SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED) Shop Simulator — Subscription required Browse 100+ fake products across clothes, electronics, beauty, home goods, and sports. Tap, add to cart, "buy" — get the satisfaction without the regret. Food Simulator — Subscription required 60+ fake restaurants. Browse menus, build your order, and watch the delivery tracker animate to your door. No real charges, no real fees, no real food coma. Quick Sim — Subscription required Need a fast hit? Tap into a gas station, convenience store, grocery store, or coffee shop. Pick your items, slide up to "buy," and feel the green flash. Done in 30 seconds. WHY DOPIQ Most spending is emotional. Most apps treat the symptom, not the urge. Dopiq is built around a simple idea: if your brain wants the dopamine, give it the dopamine — just not the bill. Every simulation tracks how much you would have spent. Watch your "saved" total grow. Build daily streaks. See exactly how much you didn't burn this week. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT We don't sell your data.
