If you have ADHD, you know the feeling: you glance at the clock, it says 2:15. You look again — it's 4:47. Two and a half hours vanished. Your meeting started 17 minutes ago. This is time blindness. It isn't laziness or carelessness — your brain genuinely doesn't feel time passing. A clock tells you what time it is. DuePal shows you how much time you have left. HOW IT WORKS Set the anchor points of your day once: 9:30 — Stand-up 12:00 — Lunch 14:00 — Focus block 17:30 — Wrap up 18:30 — Pick up kids DuePal counts down to the next one, live. When it arrives, the countdown hands over to the next on its own — no timers to restart, no alarms to set again. Add a start time and a progress bar fills as the window runs out. ALWAYS IN SIGHT • Lock Screen Live Activity and Dynamic Island, with a Skip button • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets in every size • Apple Watch app with complications • Control Center control, Siri and Shortcuts You never have to remember to check. The countdown is already there. A HEADS-UP BEFORE EVERY SWITCH For ADHD brains the hard part isn't the task — it's switching. Get a heads-up minutes before each due, then a reminder when it arrives. On iOS 26 and later, dues can ring as real system alarms, even in Silent mode. WORKDAYS AND PUBLIC HOLIDAYS Weekday dues skip your country's public holidays automatically — 20 countries and regions supported, including make-up workdays in mainland China and Taiwan. Skip a single day off with one tap. COUNTDOWNS FOR THE DAYS AHEAD Weekend, payday, the next public holiday, birthdays, trips and exams. Pin the one you care about to the top and to your widgets. MADE TO BE READ AT A GLANCE Sixteen clock styles, from a flip clock to a progress ring, and twelve color themes. High contrast, large numbers, no clutter — you should know how much time you have in under a second. Go full screen to read it from across the room. QUICK TO SET UP Start from routine templates or a quick 25-minute timer. iCloud keeps your dues the same on iPhone and iPad. WHO DUEPAL IS FOR Adults with ADHD who lose track of time between meetings and tasks. Students who miss class changes and study blocks. Parents juggling school pickup, meals and bedtime. Anyone who has set a 15-minute timer and been shocked when it went off "already." WHY NOT A REGULAR TIMER A timer counts a set length, stops at zero, and has to be started again every time. DuePal counts to the times of your whole day, repeats on workdays, knows your holidays and moves on to the next thing by itself. FREE AND PREMIUM DuePal is free to download. The free version includes two dues, two countdowns of your own, the Live Activity, Dynamic Island and the Current Due widget. DuePal Premium adds unlimited dues and countdowns, Ring as Alarm, public-holiday skipping, the Apple Watch app and complications, the Countdowns widget, and every clock style and color theme. Choose a weekly or yearly subscription (the yearly plan starts with a 3-day free trial) or a one-time lifetime purchase. If you bought DuePal before it was free, Premium is already yours.
