neurolist is an AI-based planner that helps neurodivergent folks reach their potential. First, you enter a scary task and the app automatically estimates how long it will take and assigns it to a category. Then you can use the "magic subtasks" button to turn the task into a manageable list of steps. The best part? You can even add context about your life, which our AI will use to generate even better tasks. neurolist also helps you stay present by only showing you one to-do at a time. No more overwhelming lists. Any to do you create you can get back with one easy tap via the task library. Ultimate flexibility. To help you actually do your to-do's, neurolist has a smart timer, which lets you complete each task like a playlist, with a timer for each subtask. Then it dynamically estimates how long it will take to complete, while notifying you via voice notifications along the way. Perfect to avoid ADHD procrastination. This is just the beginning: In the future neurolist will allow you to give more context on each task and will provide advanced productivity analytics.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: neurolist at 4.8 against Sloth's 4.0. neurolist also leads on ratings volume (912 vs 182). Sloth's advantage is review sentiment (73% vs 60%) and iOS requirement (8.4 vs 14.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Sloth sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and neurolist sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
neurolist holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: neurolist has 912 ratings behind it against 182, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Sloth's written reviews are positive against 60% of neurolist's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Sloth ships an update fortnightly, neurolist every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
