All the details

There's a hub at /compare/ and three comparison pages.
Each page has a ✅ / ➖ / ❌ grid with text labels, "The short answer" with "Pick X if…", and an FAQ with structured data.
DoppiNow's honest limits are stated: it's a desktop browser extension only with no phone app, it never blocks on purpose, and it has no built-in sounds. The Forest page adds that it's solo for now.
The pages say DoppiNow isn't neutral and invite corrections by email.

Settings: None.

Why it helps with ADHD

Design choice

Design choice (no direct study). The blocking-versus-nudging trade-off the pages describe matches the research: hard lockouts reduced phone use more but caused more frustration (Kim et al. 2019).
