User Reviews

Users praise the app for its cute dog, donut-based gamification, and real productivity benefits, especially for ADHD and reducing phone use. It’s generally simple and engaging, with a positive feel from helping shelter dogs. However, consistency concerns—especially data loss after updates, unreliable timers, and a somewhat confusing progression system—temper the experience. Requests for more customization and mixed support experiences appear across reviews. Overall, it’s motivating and effective for many, but reliability and onboarding could improve.
Pros
  • Gamified focus with donuts and a cute dog that makes growing focus engaging.
  • Real-world impact: helps focus, reduces phone use, and can aid ADHD-friendly productivity.
  • Simple, beginner-friendly design that’s easy to start and stick with.
  • Positive social/ethical angle: feeding dogs in shelters provides a feel-good motivation.
  • Engaging visuals and outfits that keep users motivated.
Cons
  • Progress or data loss after app updates or login issues (loss of progress and paid features).
  • Timer reliability problems where the timer can shut off or reset unexpectedly.
  • Progression/leveling can be confusing to understand how to upgrade or what to aim for.

I downloaded this app so that I could regain focus and block out all of the extra chaos around me at work. It really helped. I was hyper focused on adding donuts for the dog. The more donuts you have the happier the dog becomes. Once I completed 20 minutes I got an additional donut. I was also able to return to my original task and complete it.
