Description
I got diagnosed with ADHD at 47. After the diagnosis I started noticing how most productivity tools assume consistent executive function which in turn is the exact thing ADHD disrupts. So I built something different.DopaLoop is an iOS habit tracker that starts with goals ("better sleep", "less overwhelm") and lets you attach habits to them. Miss a day: nothing resets. The goal stays visible as an anchor or Northstar. The idea is that patterns over time matter more than daily streaks.Tech: SwiftUI + SwiftData, with Foundation Framework and CoreML, fully local, no backend, no account. Privacy wasn't just a marketing decision, really. I just didn't want anyone to fear for their data, including myself or my kids. Everything stays on-device.14-day free trial to get some momentum and gain insights from the analytics. No ads, no data collection.Source isn't public, but happy to answer questions about the SwiftUI/SwiftData architecture, the HealthKit integration, or the ADHD-specific design decisions.dopaloop.app (https://dopaloop.app/)Best, Steviee

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a vertical saas tool for Insurance yet.
