Workflow
Focus & Feedback
More than a timer. It's a flow state sanctuary with AI companionship.
⏳ Focus & Feedback: The Secret to Addictive Execution
At Dopamind, focusing is no longer a lonely grind. We’ve turned the standard "Pomodoro Timer" into a "Dopamine Generator." You have AI to hype you up at the start, and AI to celebrate with you at the finish line.
1. The Launch Ritual: Your Pre-Focus Hype
When you click the "Focus" button, the timer doesn't start immediately. First, you'll see a message from the AI.
- It sees your task: If you're about to "write code," it might say: "Code wizard ready? Let's build something cool!"
- It gets your vibe: This personalized encouragement gives you a moment of "being seen," helping you cross that mental threshold before starting.
💡 Pro Tip: Find the encouragement too cheesy? Go to Settings and change the AI Persona to "Strict Coach." It’ll give you the tough love you need to get moving.
2. Focus Mode: Your Digital Sanctuary
The countdown begins. The interface becomes incredibly clean.
- Immersive Atmosphere: Watch the breathing animation of the countdown (Pro tip: It looks amazing as a desk clock on an iPad with a stand).
- White Noise: Turn on rain sounds or café ambiance to block out the distractions around you.
- Stuck? Don't forget the "I'm Stuck" button. Pause anytime and ask the AI for help.

3. The Dopamine Loop: The Most Important Step! 🎉
When the timer hits zero, or you click "Finish," do not close the app immediately. This is the moment you collect your reward.
- One-Sentence Summary: A popup will ask, "What did you get done?"
- No need for a formal report. Just write: "Finished the first paragraph" or "Did some research."
- Send: Your message goes straight to the AI.
- Get Praised: The AI replies instantly. It celebrates exactly what you accomplished.
- AI: "Wow! Getting that first paragraph down is the hardest part. You're in the zone—keep it up!"
This is the loop. This immediate feedback tricks your brain into loving the feeling of finishing tasks.
4. Auto-Generated "Achievement Report"
Your day is never wasted.
- Every task you focused on;
- Every "one-sentence summary" you wrote;
All of these are automatically collected by the AI. When you open the Calendar page at night and click "Generate Daily Report," you'll get a perfect review of your day.
Looking at that long list of achievements, you'll realize: I didn't waste today. I did great.
You have now mastered the core philosophy of Dopamind. Input -> Breakdown -> Focus -> Feedback.
