How it works

  1. Ten guides

    Starting tasks, getting back on track, time blindness, rewards, streaks and distraction.

  2. Highlighted

    A soft yellow tint marks the ADHD insight, a tint of the site color marks what to do.

  3. Sourced

    Every article links its sources and explains how DoppiNow uses the research.

  4. Reading tools

    An “On this page” list, a progress bar, a reading ruler, 🌙 Calm mode and print-friendly pages.

All the details

  1. The ten articles:

    • "How to start a task with ADHD: the 2-minute on-ramp"
    • "Drifted again? How to get back on track with ADHD (without the shame spiral)"
    • "Reward the comeback: what a 61,000-person study says about getting back on track"
    • "Website blockers vs gentle nudges for ADHD: what the research says"
    • "ADHD and the endless tab: how to stop scrolling when you should be working"
    • "Why ADHD brains need instant rewards (and how to use that)"
    • "ADHD time blindness: 9 ways to make time visible"
    • "Body doubling for ADHD: why working next to someone helps"
    • "Does gamification help ADHD? What the research actually says"
    • "Pomodoro for ADHD: why 25 minutes might be the wrong number"

  2. Layout: a readable column (about 70 characters per line) in the site's own design, with an "On this page" card beside it on wide screens. Soft yellow highlights mark "ADHD insight" and soft highlights in the theme color mark "what to do". Notes such as 🔬 "What the research found" and 🎮 "How DoppiNow uses this" are cards, plus a legend. Articles follow the site theme (world) and dark mode.

  3. Reading tools: a progress bar, a table of contents that follows your scroll, a 🔦 reading ruler, 🌙 Calm mode and 🖨️ a print-friendly layout.

  4. Each article ends with a medical disclaimer, a "Try it now" card for a fitting free tool, and related articles. Each also has structured data for search, and its full text is in llms-full.txt for AI assistants.

Settings: None. Calm mode and the reading ruler are on the page.

Why it helps with ADHD

The articles cite only sources from our research review, for example Milkman et al. 2021 and Grüning et al. 2023.

No study has tested DoppiNow itself. DoppiNow is a productivity tool, not a treatment for ADHD.
