Daily Dopamine Pro - Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

What is Daily Dopamine Pro?

Daily Dopamine Pro is a task management app specifically designed for ADHD minds. It combines a simple to-do list with focus timers and ambient sounds to help you stay on track. Think of it as your personal productivity DJ that plays the right sounds while you tackle your tasks.

How is this different from other productivity apps?

Unlike plain music apps (Focus@Will, Brain.fm) or basic task managers, we combine both in one place. You can assign specific background sounds to each task, use local music files, or even add YouTube videos for background noise. Plus, we celebrate your wins with actual celebration sounds – because dopamine hits matter!

Is this only for people with ADHD?

Not at all! While we designed it with ADHD minds in focus, anyone who struggles with focus, procrastination, or task management can benefit. If you've ever thought "I work better with background noise" or "I need timers to stay on track," this is for you.

Is it really free?

Yes, the web version is completely free. No hidden fees, no surprise charges. We might add premium features later, but the core app will always be free because everyone deserves access to productivity tools.

Technical & Usage Questions

Do I need to create an account?

Nope! No sign-ups, no passwords to forget. All your data is stored locally in your browser. Open the app and start using it immediately.

Will my tasks disappear if I close my browser?

Your tasks are saved in your browser's local storage, so they'll be there when you come back. However, if you clear your browser data or use incognito mode, you'll lose them. We recommend bookmarking important tasks elsewhere for now.

Can I use this on my phone?

Mobile version is coming soon! For now, it's optimized for desktop/laptop use. If you're eager for mobile access, DM @nikhilgohil11 or @VikasGohil2 on Twitter – we're giving early access to interested users.

Can I use my own music?

Absolutely! You can:

  • Use our preset ambient sounds (rain, birds, white noise, etc.)
  • Upload your own local music files
  • Add YouTube links for background videos/music
  • Mix multiple sounds together with individual volume controls

What browsers are supported?

Daily Dopamine Pro works best on modern browsers:

  • Chrome (recommended)
  • Firefox
  • Safari
  • Edge

Any browser updated within the last 2 years should work perfectly.

Features & Functionality

What sounds are available?

We have 10 ambient sounds: Rain, Birds, Water, Wind, White Noise, Thunder, Bonfire, Cafe Chatter, Alpha Waves, and Gong. Plus preset mixes for Focus, Relaxation, Sleep, and Nature vibes.

Can I use multiple sounds at once?

Yes! Our sound mixer lets you combine multiple sounds with individual volume controls. Create your perfect focus environment – maybe rain + cafe chatter, or white noise + alpha waves.

How long can I set timers for?

You can set timers from 1 to 120 minutes. We recommend starting with 25-minute sessions (Pomodoro technique) and adjusting based on what works for your brain.

What happens when my task timer ends?

You'll hear a celebration sound (because completing tasks deserves recognition!), and you'll see options to:

  • Start the next task
  • Take a 5-minute break
  • End your session

Plus, a bit of confetti because why not? 🎉

Can I pause tasks?

Yes! Life happens. You can pause any active task and resume when you're ready. The timer and music will pause together.

Troubleshooting

The sounds aren't playing

Check that:

  • Your browser isn't muted
  • You've allowed audio permissions
  • Your device volume is up
  • You're not in a browser that blocks autoplay (some corporate networks do this)

My tasks disappeared

This usually happens if you:

  • Cleared your browser data/cache
  • Used incognito/private mode
  • Switched browsers

Unfortunately, we can't recover lost tasks since everything is stored locally for privacy.

The app seems slow or laggy

Try:

  • Refreshing the page
  • Closing other browser tabs
  • Using Chrome for best performance
  • Checking your internet connection (for YouTube videos)

Privacy & Data

Where is my data stored?

All your data stays in your browser's local storage. We don't have servers, databases, or any way to see your tasks. Your productivity is your business.

Do you track usage?

We use basic Google Analytics to understand general usage patterns (like which features are popular), but we can't see your personal tasks or data.

Can I export my tasks?

Not yet, but it's on our roadmap! For now, you can manually copy important tasks to another app if needed.

Future & Development

Will there be a mobile app?

Yes! We're working on it. Want early access? Reach out to @nikhilgohil11 or @VikasGohil2 on Twitter.

Can I suggest features?

Absolutely! We're building this for you. Tweet your ideas to @nikhilgohil11 or @VikasGohil2. Some features already on our radar:

  • Task categories/projects
  • Recurring tasks
  • Data export
  • Task notes
  • Collaboration features

How can I support the project?

  • Use it and share feedback
  • Tell friends who might benefit
  • Share on social media
