Frequently Asked Questions
How does the free trial work?
You can try DopaLoop free for 14 days - with all features, no credit card required. After the trial, choose a plan: Monthly (€5.99), Annual (€39.99, save 44%), or Lifetime (one-time €99.99).
Is my data uploaded to the cloud?
No. All your data stays on your device. There are no servers that store your personal data. Privacy-First isn't a marketing phrase - it's my core principle.
What happens if I miss a day?
Nothing bad! DopaLoop is designed so that missed days are part of the journey. You won't see streak-loss warnings. Tomorrow is always a fresh start.
What does the intensity scale (0-5) mean?
Instead of just tracking 'done' or 'not done', you can indicate how intensely you performed a habit. A short meditation is still a success, even if it wasn't as long as planned. Every step counts.
Can I sync my data between devices?
Not yet - all data stays local on your device. I'm planning to add optional iCloud sync that will be end-to-end encrypted.
Why 'Goals-First'?
Habits alone are meaningless. Only when connected to a goal do they gain purpose. That's why DopaLoop organizes everything around your goals - not around individual habits.
What is ADHD/RSD and why is the app optimized for it?
ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) affects many adults - including myself. RSD (Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria) describes heightened emotional sensitivity to perceived rejection. Many habit trackers use language that can trigger negative feelings ('You failed', 'Your streak is broken'). DopaLoop uses supportive, non-judgmental language instead. But here's the thing: this design helps everyone. Nobody likes being shamed - and everyone benefits from flexible intensity, forgiving streaks, and focusing on progress over perfection.
Are there ads in the app?
No. DopaLoop is ad-free. Your attention belongs to your goals, not to advertisers.
Which devices are supported?
DopaLoop is available for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. The iOS app requires iOS 18 or later, the Watch app requires watchOS 11 or later.
How does Voice Journaling work?
With Voice Journaling, you can simply speak your thoughts instead of typing. Speech recognition runs entirely on your iPhone - no audio data is sent to the cloud. Perfect when typing feels like too much or you want to quickly capture your thoughts.
How does HealthKit Auto-Tracking work?
You can connect habits to Apple Health. Sleep, steps, and workouts are then tracked automatically - no manual entry needed. Data is read directly from your device, not from the cloud. You stay in full control.
I know what I should do, but I just can't start. Does the app help with that?
Yes! This is called Executive Dysfunction and is very common with ADHD. DopaLoop helps through its 6-level intensity system: Even 2 minutes count as success. This dramatically lowers the barrier to getting started. And because every habit is connected to a goal, you always know why you're doing it.
What are 'Forgiving Streaks'?
DopaLoop doesn't require perfection. Your streak stays active as long as you checked yesterday or today - no pressure to check at the exact same time every day. And even if your streak breaks: all your progress remains visible, and comebacks are celebrated.
What happens if I don't use the app for 2 weeks?
Nothing bad! DopaLoop doesn't judge breaks. When you come back, you'll see your previous progress and can simply continue. No restart, no guilt, no lost data. Comebacks are part of the journey.
How many habits should I track at the same time?
Less is more - especially with ADHD. Start with one goal and 1-3 habits. Once these become routine, you can expand. DopaLoop is intentionally designed not to overwhelm you.
Why do I lose interest in other apps after 2 months?
The ADHD brain constantly seeks novelty and dopamine. Pure streak counters get boring quickly. DopaLoop solves this through Goals-First: Your habits are connected to meaningful goals. The 'why' keeps motivation alive longer than just numbers.
How can I support the app?
