A focus timerwith a dog in it.

Patches settles into his chair while you work. Start a session and he keeps you company. Finish it and he might have dug you up something.

Patches comes with Pro. Free starts you with three other dogs.

The timer, done properly.

A Pomodoro timer that respects you. Set your lengths once, drag the ruler when today needs something different, and get on with it.

  • Focus and break lengths you set once, with a long break after each cycle.
  • Hold to cancel, so a stray thumb never ends a session.
  • It keeps time by the clock. A session that ends in your pocket still ends on time, and tells you.

Sometimes he’s dug something up.

Finish a session and Patches might have buried something for you. End one early and, once in a while, you’ll find what he chewed instead. Every find has a card, and the cards fill a collection.

Keep other apps out of the way.

Strict shields your apps while a session runs, using Screen Time on your own phone. Whitelist lets through the few you choose. Relax doesn’t block anything at all.

Nothing about what you block ever leaves your device. Doggydoro can’t even read the app names.

Your apps are shielded until the session ends.

A room you decorate over time.

Sessions earn bones. Bones buy a lamp, a rug, a bookcase, a different chair, a wall you like better. Hold anything to try it in the room first. The dog gets used to all of it.

two bones for every minute you focus. Pro doubles it.

The Tasks screen: three sticky notes, the first pinned to the desk with one of four session dots filled.

Sticky notes, not a task manager.

Notes stay in the order you put them. Pin one to the desk and the timer shows it and counts the time you spend. Guess how many sessions it’ll take, if you like, and watch the dots fill in.

The Sound Mix screen: rain and a fireplace playing, with distant thunder, wind, snow, a sigh, soft snoring and collar tags ready to add.

Rain, a fireplace, a café a long way off.

Sixteen field recordings and four colours of noise, mixable and loudness-matched. And a dog sighing, snoring and jingling its tags, because that’s what a dog in the room sounds like.

Questions, answered.

More in Support, or write to us at hello@doggydoro.app.

Is it really free?

Yes. The timer, a dog, buried treasure, your streak, tasks, app blocking and focus alarms are free for good. Pro adds more on top, if you want it.

Is Patches in the free version?

Patches is a Bull Arab, and he comes with Pro. Free comes with a Labrador, a Golden Retriever and a wire-haired Terrier mix, and six more breeds unlock with the bones you earn.

Do I need an account?

No. There’s no sign-in and no server of ours. Your sessions, tasks and room live on your phone.

How does app blocking work?

With Apple’s Screen Time, on your own phone. Strict shields your apps while a session runs; Whitelist lets through the few you choose with Apple’s own picker, and Doggydoro only ever holds a sealed token for them. The shields come down when the session ends.

Which iPhones does it run on?

Any iPhone on iOS 17 or later.

Can my family share Pro?

Yes. Every Pro plan works with Family Sharing, so one purchase covers your Apple Family.
