About

Brain Tabs

Read full description

Brain Tabs is a planning app built for ADHD and neurodivergent brains. Not a to-do list. Not a project manager. A tab manager for your thoughts. Tasks are called tabs. Finishing one is closing a tab. There is a panic button. The AI will not lecture you. WHAT'S INSIDE Today Dashboard One task, front and centre. The rest wait quietly. No scrolling through a wall of overdue items at 11am. Tab Crash Stuck on something? Tap Tab Crash and the AI breaks it down, suggests a different approach, or finds a quick win nearby. No pep talks. Reload Day When the plan has completely fallen apart, Reload Day reorganises whatever is left into something you can actually do. No judgment. Focus Tab Full-screen, one task, no distractions. With a "just 2 more minutes" button for when you're almost there. Three Planning Modes Structured: time-blocked schedule for the days you have it together. Flow: priority list, no times, work when the moment is right. Recovery: 1 to 3 tasks max for the hard days. AI That Speaks Your Language The AI understands Brain Tabs language. It helps you break tabs down, find quick wins, and stay unstuck. It will not tell you to try the Pomodoro technique. Rewards That Actually Feel Good Closing a tab triggers a satisfying animation. A daily streak tracks how many you have closed. The copy says "tab closed. you legend." and means it. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
