pixeldoro guide
a focus app for adhd brains
plain timers are easy to ignore. pixeldoro turns focus into a game you share with other people: real people focusing around you help you start, every session pays out right away, and a story gives you a reason to come back tomorrow.

how to get started when starting is the hard part
- just open ityou don't need a plan. open pixeldoro and sit down in a room where people are already working.
- pick one small thingtag it and start a short session. 15 minutes is a real pomodoro too.
- collect your coinsclaim your reward, take the break, and see if you want one more round.
what is body doubling?
body doubling means working while someone else is around. a lot of people with adhd find it much easier to start and stay on task when another person is there, even if that person is busy with their own work.
pixeldoro gives you that whenever you need it. the people in each room are real and focusing right now, with their timer and their task showing. you get the company without a camera, a schedule or a stranger watching you. more on that in study with me.
pixeldoro isn't a medical tool or a treatment for adhd. it's a cozier way to get going.
from the reviews
“Top tier for neurodivergents”
“This app has helped me build a less resistant, if not outright positive, relationship with my tasks.”

use the 15/3 preset or set your own length. a short session still earns coins and counts toward quests.
