Live Activities now show your session timer and donut count live. We just hit 250 meals donated to shelter dogs — start a session, feed your dog, feed a real one.
Your phone was built to eat your focus. Focus Dog feeds it back.
Feed your focus. Starve distractions. Start a focus session and your donut machine starts producing donuts. Stay in the app, the machine keeps running. Open Instagram "for a second"? The machine stops. Your dog — his name is Focus — is hungry and counting on you. That's the whole loop. It works because it's stupid simple and because you care about the dog.
If you open your phone to check one thing and look up 40 minutes later, you're not broken. Your apps were designed to do that to you. Focus Dog gives you a reason to put the phone down: a cute dog who eats what you earn, levels up when you show up, and gets sad when you ghost him.

hey! I love this app so much. It has made me so much more productive! I’m normally not the type to write a review but this app is just too good to not write a review. I was diagnosed with ADHD about a week ago and this app really helps with my attention span. I would totally recommend this app if you struggle with ADHD and procrastination. There are only a couple of things I would like to see. I think it would be really cool if you added more outfits for focus. He is so cute and I love every single outfit for him I just think it would be cool to see more. I also have another idea for earning the donuts. I think you should be able to earn more donuts by how many hours you set a timer. So like if you do maybe 2 hours you can earn any of the following donuts. Remember these are just suggestions/ideas. There is no hate at all here. Thank you so much for creating a super immersive game and I hope I will continue to use this game! 😄❤️
Awesome app but there's room for improvement!

I got this because it seemed a lot more interesting than Flora/Forest and I freaking love dogs!! As a budding computer programmer, I really appreciate all the details the developer put into this app. There is literally tons of different donuts you can collect (and who doesn't like to complete collections?) and it tracks your stats like how many days in a row you've been using the app and how many hours and donuts you've made. The graphics are cute and bubbly, the sound effects fit well with the content and it isn't distracting. You do have to pay for the "donut pro" to access the notification feature (the app detects when you leave it) but it's like the best $4 you'll spend. It makes working and putting in the time to study "fun" again. Instead of dreading long hours working/studying, I look forward to making donuts!! There are some features I would like to see added (if possible ❤️): one is a whitelist for apps you can access, so if you leave donut dog and visit one of the approved apps, the timer will still run (not sure if that's possible with iOS but I would love this feature sooo much!). A whitelist would help me run this app on my iPad but still get work done when I'm not active on it. Another feature I would love is adding customization to Focus! It would be awesome to be able to unlock different breeds for the dog and also accessories like collars, toys, etc. Furthermore, a more detailed statistics page would be much appreciated. Right now, I have trouble looking at the specific sessions in a week; if the bar graph can be navigated on a different page and made larger to see the different sessions, it would make me really happy. Overall I would recommend this app to my friends (and already have!). Thank you for developing this awesome app!
Developer Response
Thank you for your long review. It made my day! I will add your ideas to my feature list. A separate detailed statistics view may be really awesome! Best and stay save, Patrick
Adorable and useful!

I love this app! As a self-employed writer, I often have a hard time focusing and managing my time, but Donut Dog makes it easy and fun! The graphics and interface are charming. Big tasks seem less daunting when you tackle them in 5-25 minute sessions, and this app, unlike your standard phone timer, allows you to generate cutesy donuts with every session you complete and increase the happiness of your virtual dog! Pleasing the dog, collecting new donut recipes, and unlocking rewards by completing quests is proving to be a surprisingly effective motivator for me. EVEN BETTER, you can use the gems you earn as you level up to sponsor meals for REAL dogs in need at a European non-profit! I highly recommend this app for folks like me who have a hard time getting started and staying on-task (and are motivated by the thought of feeding virtual and/or real dogs). Thank you for making this game and supporting hungry dogs!
Game Changer 🥰😍🤩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏻🌈💕✨

Where do I even start? Gamifying focus with donuts you feed a cute puppy is genius on its own, and a totally fun way to fight procrastination on takes you’re putting off. Add to that the fact that your continued use of the app actually provides food for dogs in shelters (yes, it’s verified!🥹❤️✨) makes being productive that much more rewarding! After only 3 days of using the app, I have noticed a quantifiable leap in my motivation and focus. Every time I use the app I get more work done (sharpening my focus, extending my attention span, and lessening my anxiety). To the developer: First of all, thank you so much for making this app ❤️✨ Secondly, thank you so much for providing the option to buy the app outright, and eliminating the pesky subscription model. I get excited every single time I open this app. 🥰🌈✨Now, make an app where feeding a cute animal gives me killer abs 😆
