After looking at a book, document, or screen for a long time, your eyes and head can feel tired before your focus is ready to continue.

Doply is a short transition app for that moment. After a focus timer ends, or before you start again, you can follow a moving dot for 30 seconds to 1 minute and give your eyes a brief pause.

This short transition is inspired by papers and research on visual comfort and attention design.

- Color and emotion research on how hue, brightness, and saturation may influence emotional tone and arousal
- Curvature preference research on how rounded forms can feel more comfortable than sharp shapes
- Smooth pursuit research on how following a moving target requires attention, and why speed and movement range matter
- Accessibility research and practice around motion comfort

You do not need to choose a meditation course or start a long session. Doply focuses on one timer and one visual point to help you settle scattered focus after using your eyes for a while.

Use Doply when:

- You finish a 25-minute focus timer and want a short pause before the next task
- Your eyes feel tired after studying, reading, working, or looking at a screen
- You want to pause briefly without opening a full meditation app
- You want a quiet transition routine without scores or records
- You want to adjust speed, motion style, and reset length yourself

Key features:

- 25-minute focus timer
- Short break and long break timers
- 30 sec, 1 min, and 90 sec visual resets
- Sweep, Orbit, Eight, Pulse, Still, and Stereo reset modes
- Adjustable motion speed and reset length
- Optional local stereo cue
