Awesome

I would appreciate it if you updated the app so that once the free trial is done, you can still use the account, and not have to buy Premium.
Thanks!

Hi Sophia, thank you for sharing your feedback. We decided to support the app by a subscription model instead of displaying ads when focus is needed. All subscription payments are used to maintain the app and build more features. If you choose our yearly plan after the free trial, you can save almost 50% compared to the monthly plan. We believe that is a fair offer and we always have an open ear for users in need. -- Your Brili Team

wish it was watch compatible

Hi! I’m an adhd adult who uses this. I am finally able to be on time to work and feel in control of routines!!! Thank you so so so much 🙏🏼 I am using a trial right now and i’m deciding if i want to get the subscription. I kind of want to get an apple watch to run the routines on so i don’t have to keep looking for where i set my phone down while i’m doing routines and trying to remember what i’m supposed to be doing, but it’s not watch compatible! I forget what i’m supposed to be doing if I get distracted by something during a task, but I feel like having it right on my wrist would be helpful and also expand the number of places/genres of tasks i can use the app in. Could you make a watch version of the app?

i’ve also noticed a couple of glitches with the current app. it glitches when you type to label tasks and it glitches when you are trying to set the times for things. i also wish that there was a setting where you could skip particular tasks if you are running low on time (eg make bed) or they don’t need to be done rn (eg scoop litter if it’s already clean).

overall though, this app is ingenious and incredibly helpful. thank you so much for designing this.

Game changer for our family

After struggling with my ADHD daughter in the mornings we were recommended this app by How to ADHD. I can not recommend this enough. We have paid for the subscription and find it very worthwhile. Mornings are MUCH less frustrating, and the kids can see that they are working towards free time once things are done. I love that they can rearrange things as they want to do them and it helps keep them in control. We have found the added benefit of adding an after school routine as well. Less nagging to have things done, but also since this is the first year of my kids coming home alone after school, I can watch the app and see what they are up to and make sure things are getting done.

Honestly, as someone who has realized I have ADHD as well when I was researching it for my daughter, I have set one up for myself and it has made SUCH a huge difference in my own life.

My only complaint is that the app sometimes glitches and gets stuck while completing a task, or doesn’t quite update the time when things go over. I hope you keep developing this and that it is around for our family for a long long time. Thank you!!

Hi there and thank you for your positive feedback - it makes our day! We're thrilled to hear that Brili works so well for your family and we keep on improving the app so you can make the best out of it. An adult version of Brili is on the way as well which will reflect your needs as a parent as well. Wishing you Happy Routines! -- Your Brili Team

Great tool, not worth $8 a month

This app worked well! Basically, it's a set of timers which have pretty icons, and you create a "routine" (custom set of timers for activities like brushing teeth, brushing hair, etc). When an activity is done, you swipe to automatically end the timer and start the next one. Once you have a routine you can set it to begin at a certain time (for example, when a child comes home from school) or to end a certain time (leaving for school), which saves a lot of math. You can also factor in rewards for completing tasks early. The user receives "stars" for completing tasks (you can set up how many stars per task) which you can choose rewards for.

It's a great tool!! Some apps support themselves through ads at the bottom on the screen. Not this one! There's no free version. There is a "free trial" when you first download the app (which they don't tell you is a trial and has limited capabilities anyway) and then with no warning you can no longer use the app at all without paying eight dollars a month. Not worth it.

Hi there, we're glad to hear that you enjoyed using the app and the smart timer. To reduce distraction, we decided to support the app by a subscription model instead of displaying ads when focus is needed. We're sorry to hear that you didn't receive our emails which informed about the end of the free trial. We will be working on improving that and hope you might consider giving more stars in this rating for what you enjoyed about Brili. -- Best wishes, Your Brili Team

An adult using Brili

I am 38 years old and was diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago. Mornings and evenings have always involved a lot of what I call ‘spinning’. Although I work to accept my neurotype as I am, it’s often frustrated me when I realize how long certain tasks have taken. There are other things I want to do with my life! I get most off track during transitions. Now for my morning routine I use Brili in combo with Focusmate and the routine takes exactly 50 minutes ending with a short drive to the lake where I walk each morning. I have played with and fed my cat (a whole 5 min of play!) done physical therapy exercises, 5 minutes of mindfulness, scooped litter, and the other random little things many people do in the am. The app helps me do things in an order that makes sense, in an order that I have fine tuned. All this is a game changer.

Thanks so much for your positive feedback! We're thrilled to read how Brili helps you start the day energized and on track. We'd also love to hear more about how you combine Brili with Focusmate. This may give us some valuable insights for further development. Could you send us further insights to Contact@Brili.com

Too expensive for what it does

This app is great, don’t get me wrong. It is well-designed and can help kids and adults alike stay on track and develop routines. However, $8 per month is an awful lot of money since this app essentially only does one thing. I shouldn’t have to pay the price of a monthly streaming or cloud storage service to have an app walk through a routine with my child. I understand that developers need help paying for app maintenance and subscriptions do that. However, this app is worth $2 per month at most (which is still $24 per year or $120 over 5 years - that’s WAY more than apps used to cost!). To ask for $8 per month (or $480 dollars over 5 years) is just plain greedy. Please don’t prey on parents who are looking for a solution. Instead, perhaps you could offer more services or features as a premium option and lower the cost to provide this more basic version.

Hi there and thank you for your open feedback! We are working very hard to offer a truly helpful routine app for kids and adults alike. All subscription payments are used for developing new features - Spanish language and Apple Sign In is just on the way - and the app maintenance. We offer a 30 day free trial to all our users to see if Brili is a good solution for their everyday routines. If you choose our yearly plan afterwards, you can save almost 50% compared to the monthly plan. We believe that is a fair offer and we always have an open ear for users in need. -- Your Brili Team

Brilliant Organisational Tool

This is a fantastic app run by a fantastic team. They’re very receptive to user feedback. I’m a big fan of this product, a great deal of work must have gone into it.

As an adult with ADHD the child friendly design is an initial hurdle, since being treated like children or being told we’re acting like children can be an RSD sensitive topic.

But the contents of the app are so practical and easy to use that it’s worth sticking with this - I’m now a premium member and am planning to use this into the future, especially if and when they’re able to release a version made for adults that we can customise more fully.

It has that most vital function - that your routine can be returned to, polished and improved, tailored to your own life, for as many cycles of routine creation - abandonment - reattempt as you need. One day I hope to make this app a permanent fixture in outsourcing my executive function.

What that need to change

The app is confusing and hard to use and I thought that you could make your own routines I do things that are different to what’s on there app and it won’t let me finish my routine earlier then 12:00am

Fail

Downloaded Trial. Didn’t work on iPads correctly. Emailed support. 3 weeks later, no fix. Purchased Subscription hoping it would jump us past the problem. Didn’t work. Notified Brili. Brili advised still working to rectify. 6 weeks later in total - Nothing! No fix or comms from Brili with the exception of the usual sales/advertising emails in last 3 weeks... even after I paid for the subscription. Given up. Super disappointed. Had really high hopes for this app. Fantastic idea. Poor execution.
