## What is Focusbuddy Hype friend?

Focusbuddy is a to-do app that actually understands how ADHD brains work. Built by someone with ADHD, for people with ADHD.

No guilt. No streak panic. No wall of overdue tasks screaming at you. Just small, doable quests, a warm companion cheering you on, and a garden that grows every time you show up for yourself.

START IS THE HARDEST PART, SO WE MADE IT TINY
• Turn any task into a quest, and break scary ones into small steps at the spiciness level you choose
• 5-Minute Sprints: just start. You're allowed to stop after five minutes. (You often won't.)
• Focus timer with Live Activities: your countdown lives in the Dynamic Island, so you can leave the app without losing your session

A COMPANION, NOT A DRILL SERGEANT
• A friendly sprout companion celebrates your wins, remembers your progress, and never judges a bad day
• The companion is an AI that runs entirely on your device. It's not a human, and it will gently remind you of that
• Body-doubling mode: work alongside your companion when tasks feel too lonely to face

GENTLE STREAKS THAT FORGIVE
• Your Streak Garden grows with your effort, and a rough day never burns it to the ground
• Transition rituals between tasks: a 2-minute breather with breathing, body scan, or a glass of water
• Daily energy check-in adjusts what the app asks of you: low-energy days get lighter quests

MADE FOR YOUR BRAIN, RESPECTFUL OF YOUR DATA
• Everything stays on your device. No account, no server, no ads, no tracking. Ever.
• Optional iCloud sync to your own private iCloud (we can't read it)
• Optional Apple Health integration (read-only) to celebrate movement and protect your streak when you're unwell
• Voice brain dump with on-device transcription: your voice never leaves your phone
• A Safety Plan with crisis resources is always one tap away

A NOTE FROM US
Focusbuddy is a wellness tool, not medical care. It doesn't diagnose or treat ADHD or any condition. Please talk to your clinician about treatment. And your companion, as lovely as it is, is AI, not a person.

Small wins matter. Come plant one.
