Opora teaches adults with ADHD practical skills from CBT and DBT, then gives the tools to try each skill the same day: a timer, tasks, habits and short exercises for hard moments. WHEN STARTING IS THE HARD PART The first round takes 5 minutes. Calibration then finds a focus length that fits: 12 minutes or 40. At each boundary the timer waits for a tap, and auto-start stays optional. AN ADHD SKILLS COURSE Nine short lessons, from how to start to rest and the daily base. Each lesson ends with something to try that day. The start of the course is free, and all nine lessons come with Plus. EXERCISES FOR HARD MOMENTS 5-4-3-2-1 grounding, TIPP, STOP, paced breathing, a decision timebox and journal, a rest plan and needs sliders. All of them are free. TASKS AS ANIMALS Buffalo is urgent and important, three at most. Elephant is big and needs splitting. Rabbit is quick. Panda can wait. A thought that barges in mid-focus goes on paper with one tap. A SHIELD FOR THE ROUND Screen Time blocks the apps that pull you away while a round runs. Up to 3 list items are free. MISS A DAY, NOTHING DIES Each finished round plants something in a grove, and a companion stays with you. Habits, plants and the companion wait through a missed day. FIDGETS FOR A LOUD HEAD A bead on the timer ring, springy grass, a pebble with a slow heartbeat. Hands stay busy while the eyes stay free. ALSO INSIDE • Home Screen widgets for today's tasks, timer and grove • Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • A morning seed: one task and a first step under two minutes • A garden to build, with 12 pieces free • One-file backup PRIVACY Tasks, sessions and settings stay on the device.
