DopaHop is your all-in-one ADHD planner: Pomodoro timer, routine builder, mood tracker, meds reminder, focus sounds, brain dump and a gentle task list — built for ADHD brains, ADD, executive dysfunction and anyone neurodivergent. No punishing streaks, no guilt. Pomodoro & Visual Timer 25-minute Pomodoro sessions or a calm color-ring timer (5/10/25 min). Hop picks one task at a time so you don't have to choose. Zero "failed today". ADHD Task Manager Quick tasks by room, each with its own timer. Auto-cooldown stops you from doing the same chore twice in a day. Built for executive dysfunction, not productivity gurus. Brain Dump Capture thoughts in seconds. Turn them into a task or shopping list with one swipe. Mood & Energy Tracker A 10-second daily check-in (mood + energy + tags). 7-day graph, no judgment. Missed days don't break the week. Routine Builder Drag-and-drop morning and evening routines. A step-by-step runner with pause and visual timer. Day-of-week scheduling and reminders. Meds Reminder Lock-screen actions (Taken / Snooze / Skip). Recurring schedules and dose history. Not a medical device — just a gentle reminder. Time Awareness "When did I last do this?" trackers for the chores that slip your mind (shower, sheets, pharmacy). Visual urgency colors, no shame. Task Decomposition Task too big to start? Split it into 3-5 small, concrete steps. "Open the wardrobe" counts just as much as "write the thesis". 14 Focus Sounds Brown noise, rain, café, lo-fi piano, fireplace, ocean and 8 more. Auto-plays when the timer starts, keeps going in the background, uses system volume. 1-Minute Breath Overwhelmed? A 4-4-4-4 box breath grounds you in 60 seconds. Hop the Mascot Grows through 10 stages as you use the app. No paywall, no pressure — just a tiny buddy along for the ride. A Warm Welcome Back Warm morning affirmations. A gentle Sunday recap. "Hop's been waiting" when you come back — never "you broke your streak". Privacy-First Your data stays on your phone. No account, no hidden trackers. Optional biometric lock. Export your full data anytime. 5 Languages: EN / IT / ES / DE / FR Light / Dark / Auto Theme 30+ Badges, 10+ Daily Challenges Made for ADHD, ADD, autism, anxiety, executive dysfunction and anyone neurodivergent. No dark patterns, no manipulative streaks, no guilt-trip notifications. Free. Ads only in neutral zones (never during breathing, meds, focus, or mood check-ins). DopaHop is a wellness app, not a medical device. For dosage, therapy, or emergencies, please consult a qualified professional.

One list. One Start. Zero fiddling. Routine Timer runs your stretching, warm-up, or home workout sequence for you. Write your routine once — each step with its own duration — then press Start. Every timer counts down and moves to the next step automatically, so your hands stay free and your focus stays on the movement. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT • No accounts, no subscriptions, no social feed. Your routines live on your device. • A countdown you can read from across the room — huge digits, built for arm's-length use. • Rest steps in one tap, dimmed so you always know work from rest at a glance. BUILT FOR FLOW • Auto-advance: steps chain together with a gentle beep and haptic 3 seconds before each transition. • Pause, resume, or skip any step mid-session. • A segmented progress bar shows exactly where you are in the routine. • Screen stays awake while a routine is running. • Option to play cues even when your phone is on silent. EFFORTLESS EDITING • Add steps as fast as you can type — durations carry over from the previous step. • One-tap "+Rest" chip between exercises. • Drag to reorder, swipe to duplicate or delete. • Total routine time updates live as you edit. A QUIET KIND OF POLISH • 8 minimal themes, from pure black to soft pastels. • A small fireworks celebration when you finish a routine — then it gets out of your way. FREE, WITH AN HONEST DEAL The app is free with a small banner on the list and edit screens only — never during a running routine. A single one-time purchase removes all ads forever. No subscriptions. Perfect for stretching, mobility work, physical therapy exercises, morning routines, interval training, meditation breathing, and cooking steps. Press Start. The rest is automatic.
