Dose Days is a quiet companion for your microdosing practice. Log your doses, intentions, moods, and reflections in your own words, and watch the patterns emerge across your whole cycle. Most trackers only see the dose. Dose Days understands the full rhythm: dose days, integration days, and the return to baseline. That is where the real picture lives. WHAT YOU CAN DO: - Log in seconds. Capture each dose with an intention, a mood, and a note, in your own words. The app learns your language over time. - See your whole journey. A calendar shows your rhythm and your moods together, so you can read a full cycle at a glance. - Track your stack. Record every component with its own amount, from a template built in or one you save yourself. - Understand what works. Dose Days reflects your patterns back to you: how you feel on dose days, integration days, and at baseline, and what actually makes a difference for you. - Build around your rhythm. Follow a structured protocol or design your own. - Breathe with intention. A calm, guided breathing space, built in. - Your data, safe and yours. Back up everything to a file, or turn on automatic backup to your own private iCloud, so nothing is lost if you change or reset your phone. PRIVATE BY DESIGN All your data stays on your device. No account, no tracking, no servers of ours. If you turn on backup, it goes only to your own private iCloud, never to us. Dose Days is a tool for reflection and self awareness. It does not provide medical advice.

FocusCurve shows you what your ADHD medication is doing, on an estimated timeline, in real time, personalized to you. APPLE WATCH See your estimated curves, log saved favorites from your wrist, and add FocusCurve to your watch face. Set up with your paired iPhone. REAL-TIME MEDICATION TIMELINES Every formulation releases differently, and FocusCurve models each one: - Immediate release (Ritalin IR, Adderall IR, dexamfetamine) - Biphasic bead release (Ritalin LA, Focalin XR, Adderall XR, Medikinet) - OROS extended release (Concerta and the Concerta XL family) - Prodrug conversion (Vyvanse / Elvanse) Log a dose and watch the estimated curve rise, peak, and fade, so you can plan deep work for the peak instead of fighting your brain through the dip. CAFFEINE ON THE SAME TIMELINE Caffeine is a stimulant too, so FocusCurve models coffee, tea, and energy drinks on the same timeline as your medication. See how an afternoon espresso stacks on your dose and shifts your sleep window, before you drink it. TONIGHT'S SLEEP, ESTIMATED FROM TODAY FocusCurve estimates when sleep becomes realistic tonight, based on the doses and caffeine you actually logged, not a generic bedtime rule. DOUBLE-DOSE AWARENESS "Did I already take it?" Your dose history is one glance away, with reminders and a live timeline, so the morning autopilot question always has an answer. CHECK-INS THAT BECOME PATTERNS Log symptoms, mood, and side effects in seconds. Every check-in lands on your curve, so over time you can see how what you feel lines up with where your dose is, and spot patterns worth a conversation. READY FOR YOUR NEXT APPOINTMENT Turn weeks of logs into a clean, visit-ready PDF summary of doses, patterns, and check-ins, so your prescriber sees data, not guesswork. THE PRACTICAL LAYER Medication inventory that knows when you're running low. Regimens and schedules for multi-dose days. Appointment prep, vitals, and Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets that keep today's curve in view. WHAT PEOPLE USE FOCUSCURVE FOR - Timing deep work to their medication peak - Deciding whether a 3 pm coffee is worth tonight's sleep - Answering "did I take my meds?" without opening the pill bottle - Understanding why some afternoons crash harder than others - Tracking a new medication or dose change with real data - Walking into appointments with a clear summary SUPPORTED MEDICATIONS Methylphenidate (Ritalin IR/LA, Concerta, Medikinet, Equasym XL, Xaggitin, Delmosart, Matoride, Xenidate and Rubifen Prolong), dexmethylphenidate (Focalin XR), amphetamine (Adderall IR/XR, Zenzedi, Amfexa, Attentin), lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse, Elvanse), non-stimulants (atomoxetine / Strattera, guanfacine / Intuniv, Bupropion IR/SR/XL), regional generics, and caffeine in all its forms. A simple alphabetical list makes it easy to find the medication you use. FOCUSCURVE PLUS FocusCurve is free to download.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dose Days at 100% against FocusCurve's 63%. Dose Days also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (freemium vs paid). FocusCurve's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.7). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Dose Days sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and FocusCurve sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

FocusCurve holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Dose Days's written reviews are positive against 63% of FocusCurve's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Dose Days ships an update every 5 days, FocusCurve every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
