OffShelf vs Dodo

The focus timer that keeps the receipts. Most study timers forget you the moment the session ends. but OffShelf files every finished session against a topic, so your hours, streaks and progress stack up into a record you can actually look at. Pick a topic. Press start. That is the whole ritual. — A POMODORO TIMER THAT DOES NOT LOSE TIME — The timer runs on wall-clock time, so backgrounding the app, locking your phone or taking a call cannot pause it or inflate it. It stays live on your Lock Screen, in a Live Activity, and on your Home Screen widget. Close OffShelf completely and it is still counting. Choose your own rhythm — classic 25/5, long deep work blocks, or no structure at all — and pick a timer style you actually want to look at. — YOUR SHELF, YOUR SUBJECTS — Every subject, skill or project lives as a topic on your shelf. Turn on exactly the panes you want for each one: a focus timer, a task list, notes, or a quiet notes-only topic. Swipe between them mid-session without breaking focus. Give a topic a target and a deadline and it becomes a goal you are measurably closing in on. — PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE — This is the part other focus apps skip. OffShelf turns finished sessions into: • Hours logged per topic, and levels that climb as they add up • A daily study streak, with a weekly Streak Freeze so one bad day does not erase a month • An activity heatmap and a daily study chart • Milestones and achievements as you cross them • Coins and Focus XP for time studied and work finished • A leaderboard ranked on real activity — PLAN THE WEEK, NOT JUST THE HOUR — Set recurring schedule blocks for the subjects you keep meaning to get to, and today-only focus goals for the ones you cannot put off. When you genuinely do not know where to start, OffShelf picks a topic for you, based on what you have been neglecting and how close you are to levelling up. No guessing, no blank page. — STUDY WITH A FRIEND — Pair with a study buddy and see when they are actually studying, what they have finished today, and what is still on their plan. Send a nudge when they go quiet. Start a live co-study session and share a clock. Accountability without either of you having to perform. — BEAT PROCRASTINATION BY MAKING IT VISIBLE — Self discipline is easier when the evidence is on your side. Streaks give you something to protect, levels give you something to climb, and the heatmap makes a skipped week impossible to argue with. — WORKS WHEN YOUR SIGNAL DOES NOT — OffShelf starts fast and works offline. A weak connection never stands between you and a focus session.

Most notes apps are a drawer. You put things in, and they sit there until you remember to go dig them out. Dodo hands them back. Notes, to-dos, voice memos, and reminders — the usual stuff, in one place, with no workspaces or nested folders to set up. Tag a note if you want; ignore tags entirely if you don't. Open it and write. No account needed to start. THE PART THAT'S DIFFERENT Dodo's Today screen isn't a list you keep up. Dodo fills it for you, bringing notes back when they actually matter: • A reminder, right when it's due — and again tonight if you let it slide • The note about a friend, the morning you've got lunch with them on your calendar • A note tied to a place, when you're near it • A birthday, a day before it sneaks up on you • "I'll send you that link" — back in front of you, so you actually do • A draft you started and forgot, before it goes stale It guesses from time, place, your calendar, and what you wrote — and sometimes it guesses wrong. Every source has an off switch in Settings, so Dodo only watches what you want it to. WHAT'S INSIDE • Notes — a clean editor, no formatting menus to fight with • Checklists — say "milk, eggs, bread" and each one becomes a checkbox • Reminders — or just say it: "remind me to call mom tomorrow at 3pm" • Voice memos — one tap to record, even from inside a note you're already writing • Tags — one colored pill to group what you want, if you want. No hierarchy to maintain. • Today — everything Dodo surfaced, plus what's due and overdue. Swipe a row to check it off, snooze it, or push it to tomorrow. • Ask Dodo — ask a question, get an answer from your own notes. "What was I supposed to bring to the picnic?" (Dodo's a small bird doing its best, so it can miss.) • Home Widget — what's due at a glance, plus one tap to jot a note or start a memo A FREE ACCOUNT ADDS • Ask Dodo across your notes • Voice transcription — memos turned into searchable text • Cloud backup, so nothing's stuck on one phone ===== Questions or feedback? hello@dodonotes.app
