Quick, honest answers about using the Deck — free tools, printing, privacy and more.
Yes. Every tool, planner and card on this site is free to use online and free to download as a PDF for personal use. There is no account and no paywall on any individual tool.
Yes. Each tool page has Print and Download buttons, and every card is yours to reprint whenever you need a fresh copy. Personal use is unlimited.
No. The Dopamine Deck offers productivity and self-management tools only. They are not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you are struggling, please consult a qualified professional. The full wording is on our medical disclaimer page.
No account is needed. Anything you type into the interactive tools is saved only in your own browser's local storage on your device, and you can clear it at any time. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
Every tool has two downloadable sizes: A4 and US Letter. Pick the one your printer uses — the layout is tuned for both.
The shop bundles groups of cards into packs (such as a full deck or a daily-planning pack) for people who want everything in one download. Individual tools always stay free.
Tools like the Task Breaker, Pomodoro timer, emotion thermometer and time-blindness clock run entirely in your browser. Settings and history live in local storage on your device and can be reset with the built-in button.
Feel free to link to any tool page or share a PDF with someone who might find it useful. For commercial redistribution, see the Terms page.
The Deck is made by a small editorial team that designs simple tools around how ADHD often shows up in daily life. See the About page for the full story and the Editorial Policy for how content is reviewed.
No. We have no medical reviewer, and nothing on this site — no article, tool or printable card — has been reviewed, checked or approved by a doctor, psychiatrist, psychologist or any other medical professional. We do not describe our content as medically reviewed, because that would not be true. Our health-related pages are general information written by our editorial team, with the sources we used linked on the page.
From public health bodies and research institutions: NIMH, the NHS, NINDS, the American Psychological Association, the Harvard Center on the Developing Child, and peer-reviewed journal articles cited by title, journal and year with a link to the PubMed record. Where a strategy has little or no research behind it — body doubling is one example — we say so on the page instead of implying proof. See the full list of sources.
No. They are everyday organisation and efficiency aids for planning, remembering, starting tasks and winding down. They cannot diagnose ADHD or any other condition, they do not treat it, and they do not replace care from a qualified professional. If you think you may have ADHD, or if your sleep, mood or anxiety is affecting daily life, please speak to a qualified professional.
This site currently loads no ad units at all. If advertising is ever enabled, it will be limited to non-personalised / restricted ads: this is a health-related site, so we do not enable personalised advertising and we never pass health topics or tool inputs to advertising systems. No ad is placed inside or within 600 px of a crisis or helpline block. See the advertising policy.
