Dopodoro: ADHD Focus Timer
Just start. Tiny doses of done
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Plan a block and Dopodoro tells you when it starts. See your timer on the Lock Screen. End the day knowing what you did.
A focus timer built for ADHD brains: the one that actually gets you started.
The hardest part isn't focusing. It's starting. Dopodoro is built around that: pick one thing, take five minutes, and never get punished for an off day. The AI runs entirely on your phone, and your data is never sent to us. No Apple Intelligence on your device? Every helper still works, with simple built-in versions.
GET STARTED (the hard part, solved)
- Pick one for me: tell it your energy; the AI chooses one task, with a reason. No more staring at a list.
- Break it down: turn an overwhelming task into small, startable steps.
- Just 5 minutes: when 25 feels impossible, five is a doorway. One tap and you're in.
- Brain dump: type or speak a mess of thoughts; get back a clean task list.
- Park a thought: capture a stray idea mid-session without breaking focus.
A CALM, CAPABLE TIMER
Five focus presets, from a classic 25 to a 90-minute deep-work block (Classic, Long Focus, DeskTime, Sprint, Ultradian). A timer you don't have to babysit: close the app, restart your phone, forget it exists. It keeps perfect time anyway, and it rings through Silent and Focus modes.
NOW ON IPAD
Dopodoro runs full size, in any orientation, with a sidebar in place of the tab bar on the big screen. Keyboard shortcuts and pointer support come with it. Your tasks, history and settings follow you across your devices.
ON APPLE WATCH
Your session at a glance: the ring, time remaining, when it ends, and how many focuses you've done today. Start and pause right from your wrist.
MAKE IT YOURS
Light, dark, or system, plus ten colour themes. All ten are free. Your categories carry their own colour everywhere you look, from today's timeline to your stats.
MOMENTUM YOU CAN SEE
Every finished session ends with a spark, then joins your focus history: a clear daily chart, an hour-by-weekday heatmap that shows when you focus best, and streaks counted as active days, so a gap never breaks anything. Your full history and export are free. No leaderboards, no guilt for empty days.
EVERYWHERE IN iOS
Live Activity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Home Screen widgets to start, pause, skip, and extend. Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight, Control Center, and an optional Focus mode + app blocking to protect your sessions.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No accounts. No servers of ours. No ads. No third-party tracking. The AI runs on your device with Apple Intelligence; your data is never sent to us or any third party. If you use iCloud, it syncs privately across your own Apple devices.
DOPODORO+ (optional)
Everything you need is free: the whole timer, unlimited tasks and projects, your full focus history and export, all ten themes, the everyday AI helpers, and a starter soundscape set. Plus adds depth for people who want to support a solo developer: the full 40-sound library and custom soundscape generator, your own saved blends and focus profiles, a custom color of your own and themes that follow the season, the advanced AI helpers (weekly review, energy prediction, and more), your calendar on your timeline with two-way sync, and custom views. $4.99/month or $29.99/year (first month free), or $69.99 once for lifetime.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Dopodoro now speaks up at the two moments it used to stay quiet: when a block you planned begins, and when the day is done.
Block reminders
Put a task on your timeline and Dopodoro tells you when it starts. Only for blocks you placed yourself, never anything else, and one tap turns it off for good.
An end to the day
From 5pm, on a day you have focused at least once, Dopodoro sums it up: what you did, and one tap to set tomorrow's first block. On a day with no sessions it stays quiet.
On your Lock Screen
Add Dopodoro to your Lock Screen or to StandBy and read the phase and the time left without opening anything. Three sizes, and the wide one pauses and resumes.
Repeats that match real life
Repeat on the third Tuesday, or the last Friday. Give a repeat an end date. Count from the day you finish a task instead of the day it was due. Skip a single occurrence and keep the series.
Someday
Park a task without deleting it. It leaves your lists and waits, and it never counts against you. On a device still running the previous version it shows as an ordinary task until that device updates.
Speak a brain dump
Say everything on your mind and Dopodoro turns it into separate tasks the moment you stop. Ask Siri to ramble, or put it on your Action Button.
Days per week, not a streak
Set how many days a week you want to focus. Three to start. Miss one and nothing breaks.
