For ADHD brains, and anyone who switches a lot

Focus that actually feels good.

Dopamingo turns task-switching into structure: short focus blocks on what matters, tiny healthy breaks in between, and a kind look back at everything you did. No streaks to break. No guilt.

Dopamingo's focus screen: a coral disc shrinking as time passes, with the note you left last time above it.

Sound familiar?

It's not a willpower problem.

Your brain isn't broken. Most productivity tools are built for brains that run on schedules and streaks. Yours runs on interest, urgency and novelty.

  • You sit down to work and somehow it's 3pm.

    Time slips by unnoticed, then suddenly it's all gone.

  • A thought pops up mid-task…

    …and twenty minutes later you're somewhere else entirely.

  • Every planner works for four days.

    Then one rough day ends the streak, and it's hard to go back.

  • Starting is the hardest part.

    The task isn't hard. Getting going is.

The idea

Rotate, don't grind.

You're going to switch anyway. So Dopamingo makes switching the plan: a focus block, a tiny healthy break, then the next block. Your brain gets the novelty it wants, and your work still moves forward.

How it works

Three steps. About two clicks.

  1. 1

    Say how long you have.

    45 minutes? Until 5:30? Pick it, and Dopamingo lays out work, quick tasks and breaks to fit exactly. Today's urgent things go first. You can change anything, or just press Start.

    The Plan screen: pick a session length and the blocks fill in to fit.
  2. 2

    Fly.

    A disc shrinks as time passes, so you can feel how much is left at a glance. The note you left last time is right there. Stray thought? One shortcut parks it, from any app, and you're back.

    The focus screen with the shrinking timer.
  3. 3

    Land kindly.

    When the bell rings, keep going or wrap up with a line for future you. Then a walk, a stretch or a glass of water. At the end: only your wins, and a calendar that fills up with colour.

    Today's wins: focus time, habits kept and notes left for tomorrow.

What's inside

Every feature has a reason. Most have a study.

Built on research, not hype

26 studies behind the design.

Time perception, if-then planning, habit formation, interruptions, rewards, movement. Each feature in Dopamingo is shaped by what researchers have found about attention and ADHD. We tell you which findings are strong and which are early, because you deserve the honest version.

Read the science →

  • A review of 55 studies found that people with ADHD estimate and keep track of time less accurately, as if their inner clock runs at a different speed.

    Marx et al. (2022), Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, meta-analysis

  • Plans written as "After X, I will Y" helped children with ADHD control impulses as well as children without ADHD in one study, and reduced switching errors in another.

    Gawrilow & Gollwitzer (2008), Cognitive Therapy and Research

  • A meta-analysis found exercise improved executive functions such as attention and self-control in children with ADHD, and even a single bout of moderate activity helped.

Questions

Is it only for people with ADHD?

No. It's designed around ADHD research, but it works for anyone who juggles projects, gets pulled into rabbit holes or finds it hard to get started. If classic planners make you feel guilty, you'll probably like it.

Is this a medical app?

No. Dopamingo is a focus and habit tool. It isn't a medical device, and it doesn't diagnose or treat ADHD. It's built on research about attention, time and habits, and it works well alongside whatever support you already have.

Is it a subscription?

No. You pay once (£39) and it's yours, including every 1.x update. No account, no renewals to remember.

What happens after the 14-day trial?

Everything you made stays. You can still open the app, look back at your wins and calendar, and export all your data. Starting new focus sessions asks for a licence. Nothing is ever held hostage.

Which computers does it run on?

Mac (macOS 11 or later, Apple silicon and Intel) and Windows 10 or 11. One licence covers up to 3 of your own computers, Mac and Windows mixed. There's no phone app yet.

Where does my data go?

Nowhere. Everything lives on your computer. There's no account and no tracking. The app only goes online to check your licence (about once a month) and to look for updates.

Why does my Mac or PC ask me to confirm when I first open it?

Dopamingo is made by an independent developer and isn't sold through the App Store, so your computer asks you to confirm once. It takes about 20 seconds. See the steps.

What if it isn't for me?

Try it free for 14 days first. If you buy and change your mind within 30 days, email us for a full refund. No questions asked.

Your next focus block is two clicks away.
