DopaDo
Read full descriptionHide full description
Built for ADHD brains, not against them. When starting feels impossible, tap What Now? — DopaDo picks one thing, shows the tiny first step, and lets you make it even smaller. Streaks forgive, rest days count, and nothing leaves your phone. If every other habit app has made you feel like a failure by day three, you're not the problem. They're built on willpower and perfect streaks. ADHD brains run on something else: a tiny start, an instant reward, and zero shame when life happens. JUST START — BEAT TASK PARALYSIS Every habit shrinks to a 2-minute version. "Go to the gym" becomes "put your shoes on." One big button. Starting is the whole goal — and once you start, momentum does the rest. WHAT NOW? — ONE HABIT, PICKED FOR YOU Some days the list itself is the obstacle. Tap once and DopaDo picks the single habit to start right now, from your own history on your own device: a streak at risk first, then the one you usually do around this hour, then whichever is quickest. It always tells you why it chose that one. STUCK? MAKE IT SMALLER Tell What Now how your energy is and it picks something that fits. Still too much? Rescue Mode breaks a task into tiny steps, or lets you start for just 30 seconds. "Something else" and "Not today" are always there — skipping never costs you a streak. FOCUS WITH DOPA A focus timer from 30 seconds to 25 minutes (or your own length), with pause, a short break, gentle Rain or Café sound, and a Live Activity on your Lock Screen. GOALS THAT FIT THE HABIT — 8 GLASSES, 20 MINUTES, 3 PAGES Not every habit is a single tap. Give one a number and DopaDo counts with you — 3/8 on the habit, on the widget, on your Lock Screen — and the day completes when you get there. THE DAY YOU FORGOT STILL COUNTS Did it but never tapped it? Open the habit, tap that day, done. Your streak counts it, and a Streak Freeze you spent on it comes back. No begging, no penalty. INSTANT DOPAMINE — REWARDS YOUR BRAIN CAN FEEL Finish anything and you get a real hit: a satisfying sound, a happy buzz, confetti, and points that tick up. No waiting weeks for a payoff your brain can't picture. STREAKS THAT FORGIVE YOU Miss a day and a Streak Freeze covers it, automatically. Build a streak and you earn more of them. Life happens; your progress shouldn't evaporate because of one bad Tuesday. YOUR WEEK, YOUR DAYS Not every habit is a daily. Set the weekdays each one runs, and the days it's off simply don't count against you. Rest days are rest, not failure. WIDGETS AND SIRI Check a habit off from the Home Screen or Lock Screen without opening the app. Ask Siri "what now in DopaDo" and it will tell you what to start. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. No servers. Every habit, every streak and every insight lives on your device and nowhere else. Want a copy? Export a backup file yourself and bring it back any time. Your patterns are analysed on-device, by your phone, for you. DOPADO PLUS The free app gives you four habits and everything above. DopaDo Plus adds unlimited habits, the Insights screen — your patterns, your best hours, your real completion rate — and a companion that grows with you. DopaDo Plus is an auto-renewing subscription: $6.99/month, or $39.99/year with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation and renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.
