Focus XP is DoppiNow's basic reward. Every minute you spend on a page related to your goal earns 10 XP times your current combo multiplier. XP counts up live in the popup and is never taken away.

How it works
10 XP a minute
Every minute on a page related to your goal earns 10 XP.
Times your combo
Your combo multiplies it, x1 to x5: 10 to 50 XP a minute.
Never taken away
Neutral pages, breaks and time outside Chrome earn nothing and cost nothing.
Count it live
The popup counts up as you go, and a “+10” floats up each time you earn another 10.
All the details
You earn 10 XP a minute on related pages, times your combo (x1 to x5), so 10 to 50 XP a minute. Each stretch of time pays at the multiplier you had then.
Neutral pages, breaks and time outside Chrome earn nothing and cost nothing.
Time is counted every 30 seconds and on every tab change. Gaps of more than 2 minutes, such as when the computer sleeps, are ignored.
The popup counts up the session's XP. A "+10" floats up from your vehicle each time you earn another 10.
Before you start, the button shows what a fully focused session pays: +730 XP for 25 minutes, completion bonus included. Reward boxes, badges and quests come on top.
Settings: Always on.
Why it helps with ADHD
A review of 22 studies (N = 1,181 children) found that rewards improved performance and motivation, and that children with ADHD preferred immediate rewards over delayed ones (Luman et al. 2005). A meta-analysis of 25 comparisons (N = 3,913) found that people with ADHD, adults included, value delayed rewards less than other people do (d = 0.43) (Jackson & MacKillop 2016). No study has tested DoppiNow's exact XP rules.
DoppiNow is a productivity tool, not a treatment for ADHD.

Focus XP: common questions
How much XP is a 25-minute session?
730 XP if you stay focused the whole time: 630 for focus, as the combo climbs to x4, plus a 100 XP completion bonus. Boxes, badges and quests can add more.
Do I lose XP when I get distracted?
Never. Drifting only melts the combo.
