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.

Tasbeeh is a digital dhikr counter styled after the classic handheld marble counter. It opens at zero and needs no sign-up or account. • Tap the big button, or anywhere on the screen, to add one. There's no upper limit, and your count is saved even after you close the app. • Vibrate on every tap, only when you reach your goal, or not at all. Set a goal (like 33 or 100) and feel it when you get there. • Count with the volume buttons: choose volume up only, volume down only, or both, even with the screen locked. • Apple Watch app: count with the Digital Crown, Double Tap or a tap on the screen, synced with your iPhone. • Last 30 days: a chart of your daily counts with a goal line, your day streak, a report you can share as an image, and CSV export. • A daily reminder at the time you choose. • Your count syncs between your devices through iCloud, with no sign-in. • 23 colours plus a colour wheel, and a background that switches between day and night automatically. • Five languages: العربية, English, اردو, Français, Español, each with the right text direction.
