Put $1-5 of real money on every task. Complete it before the deadline and get it back. Miss it and your money goes to an organization you hate.
Type what you need to do. Set a deadline: 1 hour, 3 hours, today, or tomorrow.
Put $1, $3, or $5 on the line. Pick an anti-cause: an organization you disagree with.
A live countdown timer shows your remaining time. Notifications remind you as the deadline approaches.
Swipe to complete and get your money back with a dopamine-hit celebration. Miss it and your money is donated.
Traditional to-do apps rely on willpower. ADHD brains don’t have that luxury. DOPAMONEY uses two neuroscience principles instead.
The ADHD brain only switches on under real stakes. A to-do list has no consequence. Losing actual money does. The urgency is built in.
Getting your money back triggers the same reward pathway as winning. Confetti, haptics, streak counters. The celebration is the habit builder.
No overwhelming lists. Your most urgent task fills the screen. The app decides what you should do next so you don’t have to.
Missed a task? “This one got away.” No shame, no lectures. The money loss is the consequence. The UI doesn’t pile on.
Solo stakes go to your anti-cause. But in duo mode, your money goes to a friend if you fail. And they can grant you a 30-minute mercy extension. Or not.
Invite friends with a 6-character code. Stake money directly against each other.
Your friend can grant you one 30-minute extension. Or they can let the clock run out and collect.
Track your record against each friend. See who’s won more money. Bragging rights included.
Most users never need premium. But if you want superpowers:
I’m a nursing student who got tired of every productivity app being designed for neurotypical brains. Lists don’t work for us. Willpower doesn’t work for us. But real money on the line? That works. DOPAMONEY is the app I wish existed when I was failing to study for my med surg exam at 2am.
Your tasks aren’t going to do themselves. But $3 on the line might change that.
