Tool guide

Today: find a next step

Open help with starting, choosing, returning or making room. You can also write a task directly. Keep new ideas in Inbox, choose what belongs in Today and move what can wait to Later.

A task can keep a next step and a return note, so you have a place to come back to. Choose a task for a personal focus round when you want some time with it. Starting or finishing a timer does not automatically complete the task.

The standalone Timer is available without an account. Checkpoint is a private reflection available after sign-in.

An optional day reflection lets you record what helped. With an account, your private weekly look-back brings saved day notes together and gives you space to choose what to keep or change. Open Today.

My path: choose a longer direction

Find a starting point by choosing a direction, a familiar situation and a reading view. You see the actual first reading before deciding to save a path. A new choice does not silently replace an existing saved path.

The paths cover everyday situations. Each path is a sixty-chapter sequence drawn from the readings written for it. Read the first two chapters without an account, then register to save your path and read through Day 7. These are seven reading chapters; your free account has no seven-calendar-day expiry.

Later chapters need full access and open as you go. The next reading opens at 6:00 PM in your saved time zone; this hour is currently fixed. The 72-hour window concerns your reading streak. A missed day does not block the path. Open My path.

At a reading's practice, you can choose to bring a draft to Today. You review it there and add a task yourself.

Tools: rehearse an approach

Find the first move

Choose an example or write your own visible first action and an optional cue for starting.

Guess, then notice

Compare an optional time estimate with a short trial. Recorded elapsed time and running time are shown separately. Neither measures attention or ability.

Make a little room

Place items in Now, Later or Not today. Making space can be the decision you need.

Rehearse a boundary

Try language for a situation and keep a private draft. The tool does not send it to anyone.

All four practices are free. Guest practices stay in this tab for 24 hours after a change; a free account keeps a private saved library. Export or remove practices in Tools. Bringing one step to Today is a separate choice.

Plain and Grove show the same existing activity records and badges. Choose a simple view or a small landscape. A practice or view change creates no new points, and a missed day does not damage your Grove.

The 30-day lab, its built-in tools and Situation exercises are open to a free account until you reach Day 8 of your path (or for 30 days after sign-up), then they need full access. Open Tools.

Together: choose what to share

With a free account, enable connection requests when you want them and create an invitation code. The other person must accept a connection before you can share a support card. Member discovery starts off. Messages with people you have connected with, and their basic profiles, are always available. Opt-in discovery of other members is open until you reach Day 8 of your path (or for 30 days after sign-up), then it needs full access.

Preview a card's fixed text, chosen earned badge or Grove view, recipients, duration and allowed responses before sharing. Your task text, private notes and reading progress do not become part of the card. A recipient can send only the responses you allowed.

Stop sharing, mute, disconnect, block or report from Together. Unblocking does not restore an old connection or card. Someone may already have saved a copy they saw. Together sends no email or push notifications and promises no response time.

Quiet company is the separate shared focus feature. It is open until you reach Day 8 of your path (or for 30 days after sign-up), then it needs full access. Open Together.

My space: your account, records and preferences

My space shows your profile card, the part other members see, and four private parts that open one at a time: Preferences (including whether you appear on the Focus board), Reading library (your path, saved takeaways and path badges), Urge records, and Progress and rewards. Below them are My membership, Reminders and email, and Your data. Focus rounds and the Focus board have their own pages under Today and Together. The board shows participating members' usernames and focus totals, never task text; your profile has its visibility control.

Your profile also keeps private urge records. Shield badges mark recorded pauses; this web tool does not block apps or websites.

Nudge points, NeuroXP and Focus points record different activities. Tools practices and social actions award no points. How progress works explains each record and badge; the access comparison explains what is included; My membership shows your own recorded rights.

From Day 3 you can choose to add a card without paying. Nothing is charged until the date you are shown, and cancelling before then in My membership means no charge at all. Or you can simply pay US$24 once when you reach Day 8. Days 8–60 open only after a payment succeeds.

Use Your data to export or delete account records. Tasks, practice notes and reading progress are private. Together shares only the content shown in a card preview. Read the privacy notice or ask for help.

Optional reminders

A saved return time is a private marker in Today. After saving a future time, you can separately choose a task reminder and enable notifications on a supported browser in Reminders and email. The latest enabled device is used for your account.

Task reminders are checked about every five minutes and may be delayed by your quiet time, connection, or device. They share the optional communication limit: at most one in24hours and three in7days. Completing, deleting, or changing the return time cancels its previous reminder choice. An old reminder does not come back when a completed task is reopened.

Notifications use a general message, with no task text or private notes. An active account session is checked before showing the message. You can turn off a task choice or the account's current device at any time. The separate Timer has its own notification control.

New optional email series have their own availability and category controls. When available, they require a confirmed email address and follow your saved quiet time. Saving a preference is not a delivery receipt.

Apps

The web app is the product. Download DopaNudge in the menu asks about Chrome, your phone and your computer and shows the right way for each. Each surface below has its real status today; nothing here is a promise.

Android web app

Add DopaNudge to your device from the browser. It opens at Checkpoint and needs an internet connection; private pages require your account and are not saved offline.

Windows App: Mindful Break

Mindful Break is in the Microsoft Store: a calm Windows companion with My Day small tasks, water check-ins, a Focus Pomodoro timer, 20-20-20 eye breaks, Wind down, and optional DopaNudge account sync. It is a companion app by the same maker, not the DopaNudge web app. Open in the Microsoft Store

Chrome extension: Best New Tab

In Google Chrome on your computer, add Best New Tab from the Chrome Web Store: a new-tab page that keeps your big tasks and small steps in view, plus Urge Break — a calm breathing pause and choice screen on distracting sites you choose. It is a companion by the same maker, not the DopaNudge web app. Open in the Chrome Web Store

Installed web apps open at Checkpoint and still need an internet connection; private pages require your account and are not saved for offline use. The standalone Timer has its own Install timer option.
