In short

Dovilo is a free to-do list for iOS and Android with a focus timer that fills the screen. Focus sessions and Pomodoro cycles are free and unlimited, with no ads. The Focus Ambience Pack adds 5 scenes and 16 sound layers for $4.99 once, and it is included with Pro. Finished sessions pay bricks for your city.

Three ways to focus

  • A single session. Any length you choose.
  • A Pomodoro cycle. 25 minutes of focus, a 5 minute break, a longer break every 4 rounds. Breaks start on their own, and only finished rounds count.
  • A timer on one task. The session is bound to that task.

From the first minute to the last

  • A calm start. A breathing exercise and a countdown ease you in.
  • Keeps counting. In the background or with the phone locked.
  • Quiet phone. Do Not Disturb can silence other apps for the session.
  • A clear end. A notification when the session is over.

Six scenes, one of them free

Each scene has its own weather, skyline tint and sound, and fills the whole screen.

  • Default. Always free, and silent.
  • Rainy City. Rain and a fireplace.
  • Midnight. City hum and brown noise. It stays dark even in the light theme.
  • Dusk. Birds and a breeze. Breaks switch to Dusk on their own.
  • Snow. Winter wind and pink noise.
  • Fog. A fog horn and white noise.

The five scenes after Default come with the Focus Ambience Pack.

Mix your own sound

Blend up to 3 of 16 layers, each at its own level: 13 recordings such as rain, a café or a train, and brown, pink and white noise. The mix can follow the session: soft in the first 5 minutes, brighter in the last 2.

It is ambience, not music: no melody, no beat.

Finished sessions build a city

A completed session pays bricks based on its length. Bricks buy houses, offices, parks and roads in your city, and nothing decays.
