Dopamine Detox - Focus Timer
rawdog your attention span
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Your attention span dropped from 12 seconds to 8. You reach for your phone 150+ times a day. You can't finish a movie without checking Instagram.
This dopamine detox timer helps you rawdog boredom and reclaim your focus. No meditation. No guidance. No content. Just you and your thoughts.
"just sit there." is the anti-app.

WHAT IT DOES
Nothing. That's the point.
Set a timer. Put your phone face-down. Sit with your thoughts. That's it.
Start with 15 minutes. Work up to an hour. Share your results.

WHY BOREDOM WORKS
The rawdogging boredom movement isn't a meme—it's backed by science. People are taking flights without entertainment, walking without podcasts, sitting without scrolling.
What happens when you stop overstimulating your brain: dopamine receptors regenerate within 2 weeks, gray matter density increases in areas linked to focus, and creativity spikes during periods of stillness.
The cure for overstimulation isn't better content. It's no content at all.

INTENTIONALLY MINIMAL
Simple timer with no complicated settings. Session history to track your growing tolerance for stillness. Daily stats without gamification pressure. No audio, no music, no guidance—the silence is the feature.

IS THIS FOR YOU?
You can't read a book chapter without checking your phone. You feel phantom vibrations. "Doing nothing" feels uncomfortable. You've tried meditation apps but they're just more content. You want to reclaim your attention span, not consume another wellness product.

THE 30-DAY CHALLENGE
Days 1-3: Extreme discomfort and fidgeting. Days 4-7: Boredom peaks, anxiety spikes. Days 8-14: First glimpses of mental clarity. Days 15-21: New habits form. Days 22-30: Deep stillness emerges.
Start with 5 minutes. You'll be surprised how hard it is—and how transformative it becomes.
