DopaLoop

The habit tracker built for ADHD brains. Gently. Without pressure. No streak to defend. GOALS FIRST Habits without a goal are streak-chasing. DopaLoop organizes habits under meaningful goals and tracks progress at the goal level. The "why" carries you further than any number. REMINDERS YOU CONTROL Three tiers per habit: Gentle, Time Sensitive, Real Alarm (iOS 26+). Configurable per habit even inside Morning and Evening Routines. Separate Repeat-until-done toggle. Lock Screen actions: Done, Snooze, Skip today. "Skip today" doesn't break your streak. Apple Watch acknowledges with one tap. ADHD & NEURODIVERGENT-FRIENDLY No blame for missed days. DopaLoop is built for people with ADHD and Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD). One missed day doesn't break your streak. Supportive language instead of pressure. Breaks are part of the journey. FLEXIBLE INTENSITY (0-5) Not everything is yes or no. The 0-5 scale counts partial wins too. A 10-minute meditation counts. EMOTION CHECK-IN Name your feeling after a habit check-in. Based on affect labeling: naming an emotion calms the amygdala. 10 specific emotions, pattern recognition over time. BRAIN DUMP Speak your thoughts straight from the Dashboard via the mic button, WhatsApp-style. The app transcribes locally, scores sentiment, and shows you a sorted summary in the morning. On iPhone and Apple Watch. RSD FIRST AID Immediate help during emotional flooding. Haptic grounding, 4-7-8 breathing, self-compassion, affect labeling. Two taps from anywhere; on the Watch, a complication. MOOD & SLEEP INSIGHTS Mood Timeline: see how your mood moves over time. Sleep Correlation: HealthKit shows how sleep affects your habits. ADHD SELF-CHECK The validated ASRS-v1.1 screener inside the app. Track your results over time. All data stays on your device. RSD-safe interpretation without judgment. THOUGHT PATTERN RECOGNITION Spots automatic thinking patterns (black-and-white thinking, catastrophizing, mind reading) in your voice notes and compares them against your actual data. RSD-sensitive: questions, not corrections. BEHAVIORAL EXPERIMENTS Test assumptions like "exercise doesn't help me" with 5-7 day experiments. Evidence-based, gently guided. YOUR PROFILE Transparent insight into your data and patterns. Therapist export with clinical data points for your next appointment. DAILY PLAN Swipe left on the Dashboard for today's plan. All habits sorted by reminder time. Check in directly from the timeline. MEDICATION TRACKING Set up to 3 daily doses as part of your routine. Titration Mode with effectiveness check-ins for finding the right dose with your doctor. ADHD KNOWLEDGE 34 psychoeducation cards across 8 categories: understanding ADHD, medication, emotion regulation, sleep, exercise, nutrition, habits, procrastination. Sourced. WEEKLY REFLECTION Look back on your week. Spot what worked, change what didn't. 100% PRIVATE Your habits, goals, journals and health data stay on your iPhone.
