StartFlow is a daily planner built for ADHD brains - the ones that know exactly what to do and still can't get started. Instead of another to-do list that quietly grows, StartFlow gives you one job each morning: start the day. Pick your energy level, get a plan that matches it, and let momentum do the rest. START YOUR DAY IN ONE TAP Open the app, choose how much energy you have, and StartFlow builds today's plan from your routines. A low-energy morning gets a shorter, gentler list, not the same wall of tasks you already avoided yesterday. ROUTINES THAT ADAPT Build a routine once and reuse it. Profiles let you compose completely different days, workday, rest day, deep-focus day out of the same pieces, and switch without rebuilding anything. Share a profile with a friend by link. BLOCK SCHEDULER Lay the day out on a visual timeline. Drop tasks into time blocks, pull in events from your calendar, and run a live timer on the block you're actually in. STREAKS THAT FORGIVE A contribution graph that grows all year, plus optional Challenges (3, 7, 14, or 28 days) when you want a target to chase. The day rolls over at 5am, because ADHD nights don't end at midnight. DAY DUMP AND MOOD Empty your head into one place when it's too loud to plan. Log mood and energy in a tap and watch the patterns surface over weeks. SEE WHAT'S ACTUALLY WORKING Per-task analytics, category breakdowns, custom daily trackers for anything you want to count, and an end-of-week review that asks the questions you'd never ask yourself.
