Task initiation for ADHD, AuDHD, and late-diagnosed neurodivergent adults. The shame-free ADHD task starter that breaks any task into the first physical step. On-device AI. No cloud. No account. Built for executive function, time blindness, and the moment when "just start" stops working.
KickMint is built for adults with ADHD and AuDHD (ADHD plus autism), and for anyone whose brain knows exactly what to do and still cannot begin. It does not try to make you more organized. It tries to make the next step possible.
For RSD-aware users, late-diagnosed adults, and anyone whose brain knows what to do and still cannot start.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
Most productivity apps assume the bottleneck is planning. For ADHD and AuDHD, the bottleneck is the gap between "I should" and the first physical action. KickMint is designed end to end around that gap.
Pick One. Instead of a list of fifteen tasks, the Focus tab shows you one. The one your brain is most likely to actually start, given your energy, the time you have, and what you have done today.
Break it down in seconds. Tap Break it down on any task. You get three to five steps that each start with a physical action you can do without thinking. "Open the laptop." "Get the form from the drawer." Not "start the report." Implementation intentions (specific if-then plans) raise follow-through across over a hundred studies (Gollwitzer & Sheeran, 2006).
Stuck help. One tap and KickMint gives you a five-step recovery that caps each step at five minutes. Tiny, physical, finishable. Designed for the moment when "just start" stops working.
Time anchors. ADHD time blindness is real and measured (Barkley, 2012; Weissenberger et al., 2021). KickMint shows you a single line that grounds where you are in the day: morning, midday, evening. No buzzing reminders. Just a quiet marker.
Breathing room. The breathing space button runs four cycles of 4-7-8 breathing with a visible round counter, matching Dr Andrew Weil's beginner protocol. Slow paced breathing produces a measurable parasympathetic shift in three to four cycles (Aktas et al., 2019).
YOUR PHONE, YOUR DATA
The AI runs on your phone. A small open-weight model (Qwen 2.5 1.5B) downloads once over WiFi, about 900 MB, and from then on every task breakdown, Pick One suggestion, and Stuck recovery is computed locally. Nothing is sent to us. We never see your tasks. There is no account.
Sync is optional. If you want your tasks on your iPhone and iPad, KickMint Pro offers end-to-end encrypted sync. Your phone holds the only key. Even we cannot read your synced data; we only relay the ciphertext for up to 90 days. You can stop syncing at any time.
WHAT IS IN PRO
Free covers the daily loop end to end: capture, single-task focus, breakdown, Pick One, Stuck help, breathing space, the daily routine markers, and the weekly insights.
Pro unlocks encrypted multi-device sync, full task templates (MotorMap), cycle phase aware sizing for users who track menstrual phase, medication-aware scheduling, the dopamine menu, and full insight history. Monthly, annual, or one-time Lifetime, pricing shown in app.
BUILT FOR ADHD AND AUDHD ADULTS
The app explicitly supports neurodivergent overlays the rest of the category ignores: PDA-aware tone, sensory-overload Stealth mode, novelty rotation, overcommitment detection, time estimation training, and waiting-mode relief when you have a calendar window too small to start the real work.
We are honest: KickMint is a productivity tool, not a medical device, not therapy, not a replacement for an ADHD or autism diagnosis. It is what we wished existed when nothing else fit. The medical disclaimer lives in Settings and at kick-mint.com/medical-disclaimer.
