I use https://goblin.tools/ for this and it's free. Also has a few useful features like tone analysis and recipe suggester
I just went through this and astonished how feature rich it looks on first glance. Thanks so much for sharing this!

Re: Show HN: I built an AI tool to help with ADHD task paralysis
#22Hey! I built this tool from my own struggles with ADHD and executive dysfunction. It helps you break down tasks into smaller steps, provides suggested responses, and recommends integrated tools such as timer and Spotify (ask it to play a song or set a timer). People with ADHD operate on an “interest-based nervous system” so they’re motivated by urgency, novelty, competition, and interest. ADHD also impairs executive…
I’d love to check it out! I’ve been digging a very deep rabbit hole looking for something like this.

#23Disappointed that it is a chat interface, i.e. something I have to reach for, instead of it reaching for me.
I was thinking of experimenting with different ways to have the tool 'reach' for you. I was thinking if you had a todo list with tasks and it notices the ones you're avoiding, then it can send you a text with the task placed into the chat, and then provide you a list of suggestions to help you start getting into the task.
So like you see a text like "Hey, I know you need to send that email out. Here's a question: X. Here are some suggested responses: A, B, C" so it's emulating the chat interface but it begins with SMS or even a Discord message. Thoughts on that?

#24goblin.tools FTW
for some reason, that tool just doesn't work for me. I think it's because once I generate the list, it's not personalized to my specific scenario so I have to edit it a lot and then it doesn't guide me through it, it just gives me a list of things to do. For me, a lot of the times, I know the list of steps I have to do, but I just don't want to do it - so the chat interface helps me chunk it into the very next steps and make it more specific to my context.

#25This looks great, but the web interface doesn’t scale correctly on Safari (using 100vh instead of 100dvh?) - any plans to fix the web UI, or for a mobile app?
thanks for the input :DD
We'll definitely fix the web UI and we're working on a mobile app, but we're focusing our resources on iterating the main concept right now so it's not our main priority.

#26I'd try it if there were other sign in options. Also the back button is broken on the sign in page (FF on Android)
We can add sign in with email! hopefully that would be good

#27I have to sign in with Google just to get a mere 3-day free trial without any idea what it is?
Hmmm does the initial landing page with the animations not show a good proof of concept of the product?
Re: Show HN: I built an AI tool to help with ADHD task paralysis
#28As someone who also has ADHD, I find the way the tasks are broken down and guided through to be extremely helpful. I also like the overall accessibility, and having things read aloud is an extremely nice touch, in my opinion, as well as having a smooth user interface overall that makes it easy to work with. While I don't have any suggestions, I will say that I believe this can be an extremely helpful tool, and that I…
I appreciate the kind words : D
We have a long way to go, but your support is super valuable

Definitely heard of that tool but it doesn't work well for my struggles with task paralysis - do you find it being useful for getting unstuck?

> People with ADHD operate on an “interest-based nervous system” so they’re motivated by urgency Was the decision to have a 3 day trial instead of something longer have anything do with creating urgency and capitalizing on the impulsivity of people with ADHD? I imagine people with ADHD are more likely to be excited by tools that help and they can often mistake the initial excitement with the tool actually helping man…
It was mainly due to the token costs. With so many people trialing it, they add up fast. I think a one-use trial would be the best way to create urgency and capitalize on impulsivity (judging by my own impulsive purchases).
> I imagine people with ADHD are more likely to be excited by tools that help and they can often mistake the initial excitement with the tool actually helping manage their executive dysfunction.
This is a critical point I've been thinking about because I've done this many times with tools where I try it once, think it's going to solve my executive dysfunction, buy it impulsively, then proceed to stop using it, and then keep getting billed because I don't cancel it (ouch).
