I was needing something and this is much more comprehensive and personalized to the specific individual then other resources I’ve seen. In targets all aspects of your life - work and personal, as well as physical, emotional, spiritual, psychological so whatever you’re experiencing whether it’s seen or unseen, is important to Indy. Whenever it asks me for some input, it replies in a positive way how this is helpful or useful to my overall goal and also then allows me to break the goal down into action steps. **Developer response:** Thank you for such a thoughtful review. It means a lot to hear that Indy feels personalized and supports all the different parts of your life, not just your to-do list. We're especially glad the way it helps you turn goals into manageable action steps has been useful. ### 5/5 — The ADHD tool that helped me reconnect with my life *2026-02-18* From the very first interaction, I felt seen. I’ve tried many productivity tools as someone with ADHD, but Indy felt different immediately. Everything about it was smooth, supportive, and intentional. It doesn’t overwhelm or pressure — it feels like structured but simple company. The kind that makes you want to keep coming back. What surprised me most was the storyline element. It was exactly what I had been craving without knowing how to articulate it: a way to reflect on meaningful past experiences and integrate them into my story instead of just moving on and forgetting them. Indy didn’t just help me plan tasks. It helped me reconnect with my life. It gave me space to look back with intention and forward toward milestones that actually matter to me. It put me back on track by keeping what’s important in front of me — without getting lost in what’s merely urgent. It also simplified something I’ve struggled with for years: starting my day clearly and reviewing my wins and growth areas at night. No other tool has helped me do that consistently. It exceeded my expectations in every way. If you’re looking for something that works with your ADHD brain while helping you build a meaningful life — not just check boxes — this is it! **Developer response:** Thank you for putting this into words. Hearing that the storyline helped you reflect on your past instead of just rushing to the next task really means a lot. We also love that Indy made your mornings feel clearer and your evenings more intentional. Thank you for trusting us to be part of your journey. ### 5/5 — Already so helpful *2026-02-16, version 1.1.11* I’ve only been using this app a few days but already feel it is so much value for what it is! Super nice design and easy to navigate and actual useful tools and help ### 5/5 — So helpful *2026-02-08, version 1.1.9* I set this up two weeks ago and it’s being SO helpful. When i find/catch myself spinning my wheels, I come back to Indy; which gently and simply gets me back on track ❤️ ### 5/5 — Great so far *2026-02-05* I have only had Indy for a day, but I already see value. It was easy to get started, the prompts are clear and useful, and the guidance helps me identify my feelings and needs. The AI responses are quick, and specific to my input. As a result, the first night, Indy helped me narrow down things I could do the next day to get unstuck and use my time and energy wisely to meet my goals. The app is easy to use, the output is very well done. I look forward to getting to know the app better. **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing this! It’s fantastic to hear that even after just one day, Indy is already helping you clarify your feelings, plan your next steps, and use your time and energy effectively. We’re thrilled it’s feeling intuitive and useful for you, and we can’t wait for you to explore it even more. If you have any other questions, please email support@shimmer.care. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-02-05, version 1.1.9* This is super helpful with planning my day every day on what I will work on. It helps me to prioritize every day and get less distracted. ### 5/5 — Just the best start to a day and a week *2026-02-05, version 1.1.8* Having woken up at 4:30am again, with my brain not switching off about work, it’s been a relief to start making a meaningful plan for my day, my weak and those little insites and focus points now all feel so manageable and achievable, rather than overwhelming. I love the conversation style and how quickly and efficiently I can set goals and checkins with insights that really resonate. Thanks for the app, can’t wait to make it my best habit and life hack! ### 5/5 — Just try it! *2026-02-03, version 1.1.8* Installed this app a couple of days ago and finding it very helpful. My weekly coaching with Shimmer is fantastic, and it seems like the Indy app could help bridge the gap on days I don’t have someone in my corner, helping me wade through the daily overwhelm. So grateful for this new and free tool! 🙏 ### 5/5 — Actually changed my life *2026-02-03, version 1.1.8* I never leave app reviews but I feel like it’s well deserved. I felt like I could never maintain routines and calendars helped but were easy to forget. The premise of the app is simple but clever - it’s a time to reflect everyday and prompts me to make minor changes that make a big impact. Because it tracks my progress, I feel like I can really focus on a few things at a time instead of bursts of trying to do everything and then failing after a week. It has a few bugs but it’s part of growing pains and I’m happy to overlook them for the overall change it’s brought in my life ### 5/5 — Love it!! *2026-02-02, version 1.1.8* This has really helped me break big tasks down into manageable pieces, and feel more in control of my future ☺️ ### 5/5 — Awesome adhd app *2026-02-01, version 1.1.7* Awesome app to focus on small victories ### 5/5 — New ADHD er *2026-01-27, version 1.1.7* This is amazing. At first I thought oh great another app. But this was referred by and ADHD person and that makes the difference. ### 5/5 — New app is already so helpful for my ADHD brain *2026-01-26* I’m loving Indy. I have been experimenting with how to work with rather than against my ADHD for months since I decided to start my own small business and have to set my own goals and work schedule (scary!), and over the last couple of months, Indy has helped me find that balance and gain a lot of tools that help me to keep making progress on my goals. I was a beta tester for this app, and the concept has been brilliant from the beginning, but I have also been impressed by how quickly the team has improved functionality. It IS a new app so it is not perfect, but I’ve noticed they really listen to feedback and respond to it very quickly. Most importantly, while I like the ritual of the weekly strategy setting and morning and nightly check-ins, by exploring what usually blocks me from starting or continuing to work on my goals/tasks by going through the Indy conversation flows, I have made real insights that I can carry into each day, and I’m gaining confidence that the solutions to managing my ADHD are already within me, I just need to keep learning and trying things out to figure out how my brain ticks, not how neurotypical systems expect it to. **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing this! 💛 We’re thrilled to hear Indy has been such a helpful tool in finding balance, gaining insights, and building confidence in managing your ADHD. Your feedback about the app’s growth and responsiveness truly means a lot to us! ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2026-01-23, version 1.1.6* I’m using this daily as my accountability partner and cheerleader to do things I haven’t done in months. ### 5/5 — Fantastic! Intuitive, visual and interactive. *2026-01-22, version 1.1.6* Chat integration works very well - asks relevant questions about your goals, identifies challenges, and updates your workflow contextually and accurately. Very impressed! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bugs *2026-03-05, version 1.1.14* It is logging me out, the free trial I started is not applied and I cannot log back in as it is stuck in the welcome page even though I tried to delete, download the app and restart it. ### 1/5 — Unusable keyboard *2026-01-25, version 1.1.6* I like the premise of the app, but it’s impossible to get past the first stage. The keyboard is simply unusable. I’d like to try the rest of the app, and hope it’s of a higher quality than my first impression. Won’t be returning until improvements are made. ### 1/5 — Only got to the first stage and it’s unusable *2026-01-19, version 1.1.5* Only as far as step 1 - adding in meaningful life events. Trying to type these events in and it’s extremely buggy. Deleting letters and full words as I’m trying to type, going back to random spaces earlier in sentence/paragraph and inserting letters in random places when trying to type out a sentence, not typing letters when I press them, generally completely unusable and extremely frustrating to not even be able to do the simplest task of typing?! Nothing is workable if you can’t even type. Have tried to persevere so I can at least get to the next stage to see if the rest of it works, but it’s impossible. Maybe if this very basic function is sorted, I would give it another go, but it’s a bad first impression I’m afraid. ### 1/5 — Can’t even start *2026-01-05, version 1.0.7* Tried to sign up. Cannot even get passed the “why did you decide to start page”. After writing an answer I cannot get to the next step. ### 3/5 — A depersonalized Shimmer *2026-01-21* The AI nature of this app makes coming back to it daily a chore, and its predictability makes me feel I’m talking to myself. While it may be asking appropriate questions, I never feel fully invested or engaged. This is completely opposite the feeling I get with the adhd coach on Shimmer. And the tools in place on that app are much more useful for me practically. While this might put you in a slightly better headspace for the day - there’s very little practical usefulness for me. Spreading myself between this and the Shimmer app (developed by the same people) is not what I want to use my time for. **Developer response:** It’s really helpful to hear that, while Indy’s reflection style didn’t keep you engaged, the practical support and human connection you get from Shimmer’s coaching feels much more valuable for your day-to-day. We appreciate you taking the time to explain the difference. ### 4/5 — Good but could be better *2026-07-09* I really like the concept of this app, and it has been useful overall. However, I think it could be even better if it included a built-in calendar and reminder system. Having everything in one place would make it much easier to keep track of plans without needing to switch between multiple apps. It's slightly irritating to have to leave the app just to set a recurring reminder. I hope the developers see this feedback and consider adding this feature in a future update, as I think it would greatly improve the overall experience. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! We're really glad to hear you've found the app useful overall. A built-in calendar and reminder system is a great suggestion, and we can definitely see how having everything in one place would make things more seamless. We'll be sure to share this with our product team for consideration in future updates! ### 4/5 — Helpful app *2026-04-10, version 1.2.2* I have only been using it for a couple of days, but it helps me when I’m feeling lost. Helps me focus and motivated ### 4/5 — Great job *2026-01-20, version 1.1.5* Really put together well, but some slight glitching in certain tasks like typing. Will update periodically! ### 5/5 — So far, I’m so impressed! *2026-06-26* I just downloaded this app today. I was late diagnosed ADHD in my late 40s. I see a therapist and I’m doing much better than I was pre-diagnosis, but sometimes things are hard to admit or articulate to an actual person that you only see once a month. The AI aspect, and the fact that I can message anytime day or night have been extremely helpful. And the AI responses are intelligent and compassionate. I really needed this. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for sharing your experience. 💜 We're really glad to hear that having support available anytime and a space where you can express what's on your mind has been helpful for you. Wishing you all the best on your journey, and thank you for letting us be part of it. ### 5/5 — Great thoughtful support for ADHD *2026-06-19* I am using this in addition to a subscription on the Shimmer app with an ADHD coach, as I was just recently diagnosed with ADHD at 42. I really like how this app helps me dig in deeper to think about pain points in my lifestyle when it comes to ADHD and what actions I can take to minimize them. It has a good balance of general education and personalization and is a great way to check in every day to be more intentional with how I move forward. There is an option to upgrade to a subscription if I want to take advantage of body doubling sessions, but all of the rest of the app functions fully at the free level, which is amazing, because I just can’t afford another subscription at this point. It’s really worth checking out if you need support with your ADHD. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. 💜 We're so glad to hear the app has been a helpful complement to your coaching and that the mix of personalized support and education has been valuable. We really appreciate you sharing your experience, and we're grateful to be part of your ADHD journey. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So far so good *2026-06-12, version 1.3.0* So as I'm making progress,this app has turned me from thinking I'm lazy to learning the science behind why I could be falling behind. Also making me feel more productive. The only flaw, is that when I'm overwhelmed I don't know where to go to in the app or even if there is somewhere to go to. That's about is please give me directions as to where I can go when I'm stressed,overwhelmed or feeling alot of anxiety.Thanks ### 5/5 — nevero9tno *2026-06-07, version 1.2.9* belissimo!! ### 5/5 — Nothing else like it *2026-06-05, version 1.2.9* Ive been using it for a lil bit, but its really useful for my executive dysfunction. I love how I can just vomit out words on a journal entry and it’s will adjust to me rather than me adjusting to it. This is really useful and honestly life saving. Thank you to the team who created this. ### 5/5 — helped me so much! *2026-03-28, version 1.2.0* the biggest issue that i have with adhd is task initiation; this app has helped me so much. but it can't magically solve your problems, you have to commit to improving and work at it too! indy is a tool to help you but you are the catalyst. ### 5/5 — Good kind of Ai *2026-03-13* As an artist, I am not a fan of Ai. But I am struggling to get going most days with my ADHD. I have only used it a few hours but I feel empowered and hopeful that I can get stuff done. It is helping me break all tasks into smaller tasks, it is helping identify potential roadblocks to get stuff done, and it encouraging. I feel really hopeful about getting stuff done. I with there was a way to link to do list to it so that I can have it help me track other things. **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing this. It means a lot that you’re giving the app a chance even with your reservations about AI. We’re really glad it’s helping you break things down into smaller, more manageable steps and making it easier to get started on the days when ADHD makes that feel hard. And the suggestion about linking your to-do list is a great one, having tasks and progress in one place would definitely make tracking things easier. We appreciate the feedback and are rooting for you as you keep creating and getting things done. ### 5/5 — Game Changer *2026-03-12, version 1.1.17* I’ve only had the app for a couple days but I can already see the difference Indy is making in my productivity. I feel much clearer about what my goals are and how to accomplish them, as well as kinder to myself and more grounded. Still some small fixes needed but nothing major. Thank you for this! ### 5/5 — Such a thoughtful app, better than using generic AI *2026-03-09* I’m still working towards using this app consistently. I just have too many apps and was in the habit of using ChatGPT to banter with and plan my tasks (also inconsistently). The days that I’ve used Indy thus far have all been good days where I was able to start tasks and end with wins both big and small. I’m still in denial that my ADHD leads me to freeze and not start things because I overhype them soooo much to the point of crippling overthinking and perfectionism. Messaging with Indy gets me calm and focused on putting one foot in front of the other rather than the chaotic, scattered and disorganized web of unprioritized yet all important and urgent tasks in my brain. It’s exhausting but I hope to make it a bit better with Indy incorporated into my routine. Thanks for building this accessible and helpful app! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for sharing this! What you described about overthinking, perfectionism, and freezing is something so many people with ADHD experience, and we're glad Indy has been able to help you find a calmer starting point on the days you've used it. Building a new routine takes time, especially when you're replacing old habits, so we're rooting for you as you keep experimenting with what works. Thanks for giving Indy a place in that journey, and for taking the time to share this with us. 💜 ### 5/5 — My therapist *2026-02-19, version 1.1.12* This app is better than any therapist I’ve ever had. I’m actually serious… I can’t believe an app is helping me so much. Thank you! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
