Anchor: Routines for ADHD

Anchor is a calm routine planner and visual timer for ADHD brains. Pay once, keep it forever — no subscription, no streaks, no shame. Most habit apps punish a missed day: a streak breaks, a number turns red, a notification says "we miss you." Anchor doesn't keep score. Miss something and it quietly fades and waits. Come back after a hard week and today simply starts at zero. TIME YOU CAN FEEL • A shrinking ring for every step, not a number climbing — a time-blind brain can see ten minutes leaving. • A step-by-step routine player with gentle audible cues, so a locked phone still moves you forward. • Running late? A quiet "shifted +12 min" chip. Nothing turns red. • Focus blocks on your own terms: 10, 25 or 45 minutes, with a real break. ROUTINES THAT HOLD • Start with one routine — morning, shutdown, meds & basics — or build your own in a minute. • Basics you can check off anytime: meds, water, food, with an optional time-sensitive reminder for the ones that matter. • Unmissable alarms, opt-in only: for medication, for the end of a focus block, or to wake straight into a routine. • Miss a routine and it moves to later. Skip a step and nothing is owed. ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN • Live Activity and Dynamic Island show the current step and the time left. • Home and Lock Screen widgets show what's next, quietly. • Siri and Shortcuts: "Start my routine in Anchor", "Log my meds in Anchor", "What's next in Anchor". A REVIEW THAT ONLY GROWS A calm weekly review of what actually happened — patterns in plain language, never grades, never leaderboards. An optional on-device pattern coach notices things like "mornings hold, evenings slip" and says so gently. It runs entirely on your phone. SKILLS FOR STUCK MOMENTS Box breathing, grounding, and "get unstuck" — two-minute tools for the moments between routines. Nothing here is tracked or graded. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. Anchor has no servers of its own — your data lives on your device and syncs only through your own private iCloud. Analytics are anonymous and content-masked; your routines and notes never leave as text. If you choose to download the optional on-device AI model, only the model comes down; nothing about you is ever sent to us. HONEST PRICING Your first routine is free, forever. Unlock unlimited routines with a single $24.99 purchase — one time, no subscription, nothing that renews. Anchor offers skills, not therapy. If things feel heavy, a professional is the right tool. Works on iPhone and iPad with iOS 26 or later.
