Meet Ozzy — your focus pal! Not another timer app. Not another to-do list you'll abandon by Thursday. Ozzy is built for people who know exactly what they should be doing and still can't make themselves start. FOCUS SESSIONS Start a session, and Ozzy locks down the apps that pull you away — no willpower required, no negotiating with yourself at 11pm. Just you, your task, and one very determined opossum making sure you actually finish it. TASKS, WITHOUT THE FRICTION Ozzy hands you tasks — no blank page, no deciding what to do next. Just a fresh set waiting for you, every day. See one you're ready for? Hold to complete it. No forms, no fuss, no fifteen taps to check one box — just a satisfying hold-to-confirm that turns "I should do that" into "done," instantly. PROOF, NOT PROMISES Some tasks pay more than others. Snap a photo when you finish, and Ozzy's AI verifies it's real — turning your actual effort into actual coins. No more marking things done just to clear the list. If you did it, you earn it. YOUR TRIBE Focus is easier when you're not doing it alone. Join a tribe, climb the leaderboard, and turn your streak into something the people around you can see — and push you to keep. Finish on top and it pays: bonus coins, exclusive gear, and rewards you can't earn any other way. Quiet competition, real accountability, real stakes. DRESS THE OPOSSUM Every coin you earn is spendable. Head to the gear shop and kit out your opossum — new looks, seasonal drops, premium pieces you can only unlock by putting in the work. Your streak has a face. Make it yours. MEET OZZY Every session, Ozzy's right there with you — equal parts hype man and honest friend. He doesn't judge the slow days. He just wants you to show up for the next one. GO PRO Schedule blocks for nights, workdays, or any custom hours, so your shield runs even when you forget to start a session. See your full screen time history, plus unlimited AI-verified tasks and a PRO badge in your tribe. Built for the version of you that's done starting over every Monday. Ozzy isn't about forcing focus. It's about making it easier to want it. Download Ozzy and start your first session today. Ozzy Pro is an auto-renewing subscription.

Dopodoro

A focus timer built for ADHD brains: the one that actually gets you started. The hardest part isn't focusing. It's starting. Dopodoro is built around that: pick one thing, take five minutes, and never get punished for an off day. The AI runs entirely on your phone, and your data is never sent to us. No Apple Intelligence on your device? Every helper still works, with simple built-in versions. GET STARTED (the hard part, solved) - Pick one for me: tell it your energy; the AI chooses one task, with a reason. No more staring at a list. - Break it down: turn an overwhelming task into small, startable steps. - Just 5 minutes: when 25 feels impossible, five is a doorway. One tap and you're in. - Brain dump: type or speak a mess of thoughts; get back a clean task list. - Park a thought: capture a stray idea mid-session without breaking focus. A CALM, CAPABLE TIMER Five focus presets, from a classic 25 to a 90-minute deep-work block (Classic, Long Focus, DeskTime, Sprint, Ultradian). A timer you don't have to babysit: close the app, restart your phone, forget it exists. It keeps perfect time anyway, and it rings through Silent and Focus modes. NOW ON MAC Dopodoro is a native Mac app too, with a menu bar timer, keyboard shortcuts and a task inspector. Your tasks, history and settings sync over iCloud, so a plan you make on your phone is waiting at your desk. Turn on "Mirror the session across devices" in Settings to see a running session on your other devices and take it over. NOW ON IPAD Dopodoro runs full size, in any orientation, with a sidebar instead of the tab bar. Keyboard shortcuts and pointer support come with it. ON APPLE WATCH Your session at a glance: the ring, time remaining, when it ends, and how many focuses you've done today. Start and pause from your wrist. MAKE IT YOURS Light, dark, or system, plus ten colour themes. All ten are free. Your categories carry their own colour everywhere, from today's timeline to your stats. SOUNDSCAPES A real focus environment: brown, pink, and white noise, rain, ocean, café, and more, plus binaural and isochronic tones. Listen with or without a timer, set a sleep timer, or mix under your own audio. (Some people find these help concentration.) MOMENTUM YOU CAN SEE Every finished session ends with a spark and joins your focus history: a clear daily chart, an hour-by-weekday heatmap that shows when you focus best, and streaks counted as active days, so a gap never breaks anything. Your full history and export are free. No leaderboards, no guilt for empty days. EVERYWHERE IN THE SYSTEM On iPhone: a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, Home Screen widgets to start, pause, skip, and extend, Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight, Control Center, and an optional Focus mode + app blocking to protect your sessions. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts. No servers of ours. No ads. No third-party tracking. The AI runs on your device with Apple Intelligence; your data is never sent to us or any third party. If you use iCloud, it syncs privately across your own Apple devices. DOPODORO+ (optional) Everything you need is free: the whole timer, unlimited tasks and projects, your full focus history and export, all ten themes, the everyday AI helpers, and a starter soundscape set. Plus adds depth for people who want to support a solo developer: the full 40-sound library and custom soundscape generator, your own saved blends and focus profiles, a custom colour of your own and themes that follow the season, the advanced AI helpers (weekly review, energy prediction, and more), your calendar on your timeline with two-way sync, and custom views. $4.99/month or $29.99/year (first month free), or $69.99 once for lifetime. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac. Built by one indie developer. No VC, no investors, no growth team. If it helps you start, leave a review. That's how indie apps survive.
