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.

Your ADHD brain doesn't need another to-do list. It needs a system built for how you actually think, work, and live. Waypoint ADHD Organization maps every area of your life — work, home, hobbies, errands, side projects — and helps you navigate all of it, one waypoint at a time. THE ORBIT Your territories — Work, Home, Hobbies, Side Projects — orbit a compass at the center of your screen. The closer a territory orbits, the healthier it is. Drifting further out is a gentle signal, never a punishment. Tap any territory to see its tasks and start one instantly. Your whole life, finally visible in one place. ONE THING AT A TIME The NOW screen shows exactly one task. A timer that counts up — never down — so you see progress building, not a deadline approaching. When you're done, a satisfying completion animation marks the moment and surfaces what's next. No overwhelm. Just momentum. ERRAND MODE The feature no other app has. When you leave a location, Waypoint detects your departure, groups every nearby errand into an optimized route, and opens it in Apple Maps or Google Maps. GPS checks you in when you arrive at each stop. Works hands-free in CarPlay. You'll never forget a stop on the way home again. LOCATION TRIGGERS Attach location reminders to any task — fire when leaving work, arriving home, or passing nearby. Reminders break through Do Not Disturb so you never miss a stop. MORNING BEARINGS Start every day with a 3-minute ritual. Review yesterday's wins, pick today's 3 commitments, and scan your calendar. Works around your schedule, not against it. WEEKLY MAP A guided weekly review — last week's highlights, territory health, and next week's plan. The celebration moment at the end is non-skippable. You earned it. DROP ZONE Share a unique link with your partner, manager, or anyone. They add tasks to your list without downloading the app. You review everything and decide what enters your plan. You stay in control — always. DAILY TRAIL LOG & MILESTONES Every completed waypoint goes to your Trail Log. Watch your streak grow, earn Trailmarks for milestones, and export a monthly territory report as a PDF. AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE · iPhone — full app with location intelligence · Apple Watch — 4 focused screens with haptic alerts · CarPlay — errand mode · Web — Drop Zone contributor view, no app required FREE TO START Download free and start navigating. Upgrade to Full Navigation for location triggers, errand mode, morning bearings, weekly map, Drop Zone, Watch app, travel partners, and the monthly territory report. Waypoint ADHD Organization was built from the ground up for ADHD brains — not adapted from a tool designed for someone else. No shame. No punishment. Just a sense of accomplishment.
