About

FocusPipe

For brains that know what to do — but can't seem to start. FocusPipe is a calm, no-shame focus app for people with ADHD, executive dysfunction, or anyone who freezes at "just get started." It uses AI to break any task into a handful of small, physical, doable micro-steps — sized to how much energy you actually have today. WHY MICRO-STEPS The hardest part of "clean the kitchen" isn't the work. It's deciding where to start. FocusPipe takes whatever you're avoiding and turns it into a sequence like: • Walk to the sink • Move the cups to the left side • Run hot water for 30 seconds Each step is concrete enough to start without thinking. ENERGY-ADAPTIVE Pick High, Medium, or Low energy and the AI sizes the breakdown to match. Low-energy days get more, smaller steps. High-energy days get a tighter sequence so you can keep momentum. ON-DEVICE OR CLOUD AI On iPhones with Apple Intelligence (iOS 26+), FocusPipe can run the entire breakdown on-device — your task text never leaves your phone. If on-device AI isn't available, it falls back to a privacy-respecting cloud model that doesn't store your text. WHAT'S INSIDE • Task breakdown — paste any task, get instant micro-steps • Decision rescue — can't pick what to do? The app picks for you, weighted by priority and energy • Brain dump — write everything in your head; the app pulls out actionable items and tags emotions without judgment • "Too Hard" re-breakdown — stuck on a step? Split it into even smaller ones with one tap • Streaks & weekly review — see your patterns without guilt • Gentle reminders — nudges, not pressure PRIVACY FIRST • All analytics are local — no third-party tracking, no ad SDKs • Tasks, steps, energy logs, and streaks live on your device • Export everything as JSON or CSV, anytime • No account required Pricing • Monthly: $3.99 • Yearly: $34.99 — about $2.92/month (save 27%) WHO IT'S FOR • Adults with ADHD or executive dysfunction • Anyone who procrastinates by overthinking • People recovering from burnout or stuck in low-energy days • Folks tired of "just be more disciplined" advice WHAT IT WON'T DO • Shame you for missing a day • Sell your data • Make you sign up before trying it • Pretend a streak is worth more than your wellbeing If you've ever sat at your desk knowing exactly what to do and still couldn't move — FocusPipe was built for that exact feeling. ———— Subscription details: • Pro Monthly: $3.99/month, auto-renewing • Pro Yearly: $34.99/year, auto-renewing • Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase • Subscription auto-renews unless turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period • Manage or cancel: Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions → FocusPipe Privacy Policy: https://yoursite.example/privacy Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
