Changing my life and healing my nervous system
F, late-diagnosed freelancer and artist - I use both the app and the coaching program. It’s been about 5 months now and I can already see such a positive difference in my life. I’m planning to be in this community for the long haul. Nothing compares out there. It’s built with real research behind it and it shows in every way you interact with it.
I have a ways to go in terms of learning about ADHD and also healing my nervous system from a lifetime of not knowing why I felt so different. I’m his tool is helping me do that at my own pace.
The tool and learning modules are self paced, informative, and positive. I really love when I have time to sit and learn. Theres also a great library of recorded content, so I get to enjoy the many virtual workshops and masterclasses whenever my schedule allows.
The daily body doubling sessions are a game changer for getting things done!
My 1:1 coaching sessions are life changing. I’m not exaggerating. These coaches are the real deal. They are so knowledgeable. I feel like I’m being provided with supportive accountability and mentorship without feeding the shame loop we tend to fall into. Both of the coaches Ive been paired with have been perfect. They really take the time to match you with the right people.
I tell everyone I know who is neurodivergent about Shimmer. I’m so grateful to the developers and team for bringing this amazing resource to us at such an accessible price. You’re making a positive difference in many lives.

Thank you so much for sharing! It means a lot to hear how Shimmer has supported you over the past five months. We're thrilled that the coaching, learning content, body doubling sessions, and community have made such a meaningful difference in your journey!
Mixed experience
The app is overwhelming and confusing for a neurodivergent. I like my coach though and we meet directly on video chat.
Accountability from real humans!
I’ve tried everything and finally Shimmer’s system and coach’s seem to be it. They help me shift my perspective and approach, leading to both confidence and calmness. The real coach check-ins are what work for me.
Exceptionally Well Designed and Helpful
Shimmer has improved my life a LOT! Even just the software is somehow (it’s spooky) getting me to exercise daily, stick to my diet, get out of my home early, and actually do my highest priority tasks.
The software also supports Shimmers excellent one-on-one coaching, which is highly motivating. AI processing is offered as *option* to summarize the confidential conversations. These summaries are excellent.
Overall the Shimmer app is very well designed and implemented. Many thoughtful and clever details support me to focus and be happy / productive despite ADHD style procrastination problems.
Definitely check out Shimmer if you would like (or *need*) support with getting things done in your life.

Difference Maker
Shimmer is a lifeline when ADHD feels so overwhelming. I first wasn’t sure how I felt about “ADHD coaching.” It sounded like a gimmick and then I saw the price and was even more suspicious. But I decided to go forward with the trial and let me tell you, it’s worth every penny! My coach makes this journey much more bearable.

That’s so wonderful to hear — we’re grateful you gave Shimmer a try and even happier that coaching has been such a valuable support for you! 💙
Seriously helpful!
I can’t speak highly enough about Shimmer or my coach Tracy. They genuinely care and present info in very ADHD digestible ways. Join! You won’t regret it.
(ps. This is the first time I’ve ever rated an app. They are that good!)

Guidance
I recently got diagnosed with ADHD about 1.5 months ago. And this service has been great in guiding through my everyday life struggles. My coach has been really optimistic and caring.
Life changing
I can honestly say finding this app is like finding the mentor/guide/teacher that you’ve always wanted. It has already changed my life in so many ways after just one month in, the learning modules, the visuals, the coaching sessions, the logical and easy to follow layout (also cute! Which makes it a pleasure to use). As someone with muddled thinking (recently realized I’ve had adhd all along but thought I was just chaotic or “bad” at follow-through), the app makes the things I want to do so much clearer, like I have a friend guiding me along and cheering my wins. The cost is a stretch, but more affordable than working with an adhd coach, and offers SO much more with daily body doubling sessions, learning modules, and a way to define your goals and life plan out in a way that has shifted my fundamental understanding of myself and my ability to make my dreams a reality. The app is the tool, but beyond that it’s made by real people with big generous dreams who are creating a community. Honestly, it’s an amazing app, the best discovery. I 1000% recommend.

Thank you for such a heartfelt review! We’re so glad Shimmer has made such a positive impact and that you feel supported every step of the way. 💛
Shimmer is great
I highly recommend coach Sara. She’s really good. She listens well. She has good personality about her. All the best with all of her clients now and in the future.
I wasn't sure about ADHD coaching, but Shimmer works
I was hesitant to start, but I was in such a deep rut I couldn't get out of on my own. My coach has helped immensely, and the extra programs offered by Shimmer like body doubling are great. You need to give this a shot!
5 stars! Life changing! ✨
Incredible learning and accountability tool! Highly recommend! Female in my late 30s and this is a new era in learning how to live my best life through managing ADHD to the best of my abilities thanks to Shimmer ✨
Great investment
I’ve used shimmer continuously since May, and it has been the best investment to have a coach to come back to and the ability to hold myself accountable when I need to. The app itself functions great, and is always receiving UI updates. I hope I’ll be using shimmer for years ☺️
The only app that worked for me
Amazing life coaches. The team cares about the whole experience. And most importantly an app that actually works and helps me be on track with my goals.
Amazing Coach
I found Shimmer while trying to find affordable coaching for my newly diagnosed ADHD. I’ve gotten so much from coach Tracy in a few short weeks and am excited to see my future self! Thanks Shimmer for giving me a community. Oh last brag check out their podcast! Ooof relatable!! 💜
Learning more about myself and that people out there actually get it!
I was hit with an IG ad for Shimmer I was really at a point where I didn’t understand things about my own brain and at a loss off how to course correct. I am 38YO Asian woman and just diagnosed last year, struggling with keeping up with a demanding job I love and balance. I am just about a month in and I still figuring it out but Coach Ying has been awesome and it’s at a pace that digestible for me and my special brain, and positive changes are happening. I am still learning best ways the app can consistently support my ultimate personal, professional, and mental health goals but it’s been an incredibly positive experience so far. So glad I found an Asian woman founded company that gets it!

What a relief to have this app!
I never even imagined there was custom, 1:1 ADHD coaching until I discovered Shimmer! It’s been so life changing to have access to my coach and not feel as alone. I hope everyone gets a chance to try Shimmer and having support like this in their life. I’m so grateful it exists!!

The app and ADHD coach I didn’t know I needed
I love how this app is designed and I finally have a to-do list that is aesthetically-pleasing! They have thoughtfully designed this with regular feedback (they even reached out to ask me about my onboarding process and thoughts on the app), and I love using this to keep track of my personal goals. I’m so productive at work yet in my personal life feel disorganized. Meeting with an ADHD coach weekly who sees and celebrates my small wins has been empowering, and even if I didn’t do a very good job of completing tasks I set out to do it is helpful to adjust my tasks/goals based on what is relevant and motivating for me.

Seriously happy with this app, my coach and what I’ve accomplished so far in a short amount of time!
LOVE
LOVE the app, the system, and my coach! (Shout out to Coach Brittany!!) I love that I have a way to communicate with my coach in between sessions. LOVE YOU SHIMMER!!
Hidden ADHD Gem
I’m honestly shocked this app doesn’t have more reviews yet. This is the hidden gem of ADHD apps right now, like Coffee Meets bagel is for online dating. I discovered this by asking chatGPT what was the best ADHD coaching I could get in the US right now. You can tell that the creator had a clear, modern vision toward the experience using her own experiences with ADHD to create a helpful product that drives intention, clarity and focus. The result is an experience superior over having to waste time finding, scheduling and getting intros with countless independent ADHD coaches that are frankly overpriced, package pushers before proving their worth, and lack modern tech like this to track progress. This is finally what the ADHD community deserves, affordable and accessible live coaching for the middle class.

We deeply believe that ADHD support should be accessible, modern, and genuinely helpful—and we're so glad that’s been your experience.
