Daily streak

The daily streak counts the days in a row you focused for at least 10 minutes in DoppiNow. Streak savers bridge a missed day automatically, so one slip doesn't end the habit. Depending on your world, a saver is a life ring, spare fuel, a wildcard, a pivot or a deadline extension.

How it works

  1. 10 minutes counts

    A day counts once you reach 10 minutes of focus, in one session or several.

  2. Savers cover a slip

    A missed day uses a streak saver automatically.

  3. Earn savers

    Every 7th day in a row earns one, and legendary boxes hold one. You can keep 2.

  4. Rest days are safe

    Planned rest days and vacations never break the streak or use a saver.

All the details

  1. A day counts once you reach 10 minutes of focus on that day, in one session or several. The running session counts live. A session that runs past midnight counts on each day only for the focus done on it: the new day needs its own 10 minutes, and a day with no focus never counts. Its minutes, quests and your home page split the same way.

  2. Missed days use streak savers automatically, one per missed day. If you missed more days than you have savers, the streak starts again at 1 and you keep your savers.

  3. You earn a saver on every 7th streak day (days 7, 14, 21 and so on) and from legendary boxes. You can hold 2 at most.

  4. Planned rest days and vacation days are skipped: they never break the streak or use a saver (see Rest days and vacation mode).

  5. The streak shows as a 🔥 count in the popup's top bar, which reminds you "Focus 10 min today to keep it going." It also shows on your home page at doppinow.com. When a day counts, a toast says "5-day streak! Come back tomorrow to grow it."

  6. The streak earns two badges: Three days and One week.

Settings: Always on. Set rest days and vacations in Settings → Your world.

Why it helps with ADHD

In seven studies, seeing an intact streak increased people's later engagement compared with a broken one. The drop was smaller when people could "repair" the streak (Silverman & Barasch 2023). In a habit study, "missing one opportunity to perform the behaviour did not materially affect the habit formation process" (Lally et al. 2010). Neither study was about ADHD.

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

Daily streak: common questions

How much do I need to do to keep my streak?

10 minutes of focus a day.

What happens if I miss a day?

A streak saver covers it automatically if you have one. Otherwise the streak starts again at 1, and your XP and level stay.

How do I get streak savers?

Every 7th day in a row earns one, and legendary boxes hold one. You can keep up to two.
