DopaLoop – Habit tracker for ADHD brains, local-first, no streaks

I got diagnosed with ADHD at 47. After the diagnosis I started noticing how most productivity tools assume consistent executive function which in turn is the exact thing ADHD disrupts. So I built something different. DopaLoop is an iOS habit tracker that starts with goals ("better sleep", "less overwhelm") and lets you attach habits to them. Miss a day: nothing resets.

What it does

Most habit apps assume you just need more discipline. DopaLoop assumes you don't. Goals-first, ADHD-friendly, zero guilt. All your data stays on your device: Private by architecture, not just policy. 14-day free trial. No commitment.

Goals-First Habit Tracker für iPhone & Apple Watch. Speziell für ADHS gebaut: Kein Streak-Shaming, flexible 0–5 Intensität, alle Daten lokal. 14 Tage gratis.

    Hello. I was looking for a simple and clean habit tracker. I went through a few apps but felt they were missing something. I also had some time on my hands, so decided to make my own and share it in case anyone else likes it.
