Hey! 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…

>they’re motivated by urgency, novelty, competition, and interest. ADHD also impairs executive functioning skills. This can make task paralysis really common, especially for unstimulating tasks. this hits home so bad, I can't believe I just read that :/ All the best for your tool bud.

Thank you, I appreciate your kindness

Since it’s paid I have to ask. What’s the difference between this and chatgpt with a prompt? Is the subscription just a subscription to a prompt?

So we're continuously beta testing with ADHD coaches, psychiatrists, and people with ADHD to understand their specific use cases. This allows us to create a tool designed for ADHD, adding things like guided conversations through suggestion buttons and integrated tools specific to starting tasks.

Right now, we have timers and music as our first tools but our future plans include an entire toolbox of tools specific to task initiation and executive dysfunction.

Our ultimate goal is an AI utilizing your specific 'user manual' with effective strategies and systems for you and then giving you tools specific to those strategies when you need them. I.E. A timer may work for one task, but it then loses its novelty, but website blockers and classical music work effectively for the next so it applies those tools without the extra micro-steps of setting up that infrastructure yourself.

I’d love to check it out! I’ve been digging a very deep rabbit hole looking for something like this.

Interesting! What caused the deep rabbit hole into searching for a tool like this?

I 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?

No. And animations and graphics lie

I'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

Any idea on a timeline for this? I was hoping to try it, but it looks like the only options are sign in with Google or Microsoft.
