After looking at a book, document, or screen for a long time, your eyes and head can feel tired before your focus is ready to continue. Doply is a short transition app for that moment. After a focus timer ends, or before you start again, you can follow a moving dot for 30 seconds to 1 minute and give your eyes a brief pause. This short transition is inspired by papers and research on visual comfort and attention design. - Color and emotion research on how hue, brightness, and saturation may influence emotional tone and arousal - Curvature preference research on how rounded forms can feel more comfortable than sharp shapes - Smooth pursuit research on how following a moving target requires attention, and why speed and movement range matter - Accessibility research and practice around motion comfort You do not need to choose a meditation course or start a long session. Doply focuses on one timer and one visual point to help you settle scattered focus after using your eyes for a while. Use Doply when: - You finish a 25-minute focus timer and want a short pause before the next task - Your eyes feel tired after studying, reading, working, or looking at a screen - You want to pause briefly without opening a full meditation app - You want a quiet transition routine without scores or records - You want to adjust speed, motion style, and reset length yourself Key features: - 25-minute focus timer - Short break and long break timers - 30 sec, 1 min, and 90 sec visual resets - Sweep, Orbit, Eight, Pulse, Still, and Stereo reset modes - Adjustable motion speed and reset length - Optional local stereo cue Doply is a wellness tool for everyday focus and short transitions.

Compare two groups of nights with matching recording conditions, measured microphone coverage and an event rate weighted by observed time. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open Compare and choose two to seven baseline nights and two to seven comparison nights. Keep the groups separate. 2. Review setup notes, recording duration, sensitivity, input route and microphone coverage. Legacy nights require explicit inclusion because coverage was not measured. 3. Calculate, save the frozen comparison and share its report. Overnight sound-event recording, history, playback and reference tools remain available. New sessions record processed microphone time. Corrupt session files are preserved and storage errors are visible. WHAT TO KNOW Comparisons require recordings of at least one hour with similar duration and sensitivity. Known input routes must match. New recordings require at least 95% observed coverage. Counts describe detected sound events, not a diagnosis, apnea severity, sleep quality or treatment effectiveness. Legacy coverage is unknown. Keep up to 100 comparisons. iPhone and iPad.
