Rest days and vacation mode

Rest days and vacation mode is how you tell DoppiNow which days you're planning not to focus. On those days your streak simply waits: missing one never breaks it or uses a streak saver, and focusing on one still counts.

Key facts

Category: Progress
Where to find it: Settings → Your world. By default there are no rest days and no vacation.

How it works

Pick rest days
Settings → Game → “Rest days and vacations”: tick any weekdays.
Plan a vacation
Pick From and Until dates. With only an end date, it starts today.
Your streak waits
Rest days never break the streak or use a streak saver.
Focus still counts
Focusing on a rest day still counts as a streak day.

All the details

In Settings → Your world → "Rest days", tick any weekdays (Mon–Sun).
For a vacation, pick the first and the last day under "Vacation", and "End vacation" stops it early.
A vacation needs both dates. One saved with only an end date (by an older version) is left out, so it can never cover every day before it.
Rest days between two streak days don't count as missed.
The popup's streak count skips rest days too.
The streak on the dashboard follows the same rule, as of your last synced session.

Settings: Settings → Your world. By default there are no rest days and no vacation.

Why it helps with ADHD

In a habit study, missing one opportunity "did not materially affect the habit formation process" (Lally et al. 2010). Broken streaks lower engagement less when people can repair them (Silverman & Barasch 2023).

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