Beginary helps adults with ADHD do the hardest part of any task: starting. You already know what you need to do. The gap is in beginning, and that gap isn't about discipline. It's how the ADHD brain handles initiation, working memory, time blindness, and the small spike of resistance that builds every time you look at the thing you've been meaning to start. Beginary is built for that exact moment. HOW IT WORKS Just Start. The core screen drops the cost of beginning to almost nothing. No picker, no setup. You tap, and you go. Mood check. Before you start, Beginary asks how thinking about the task feels: Fine, Wired, Heavy, or Stuck. There's no right answer. Your mood shapes what happens next: a Heavy afternoon and a Wired one don't get the same screen. Warm-Up. When starting cold feels like too much, a short warm-up gives you an on-ramp instead of a cliff. AI Breakdown. When a task is too big to see the start of, Beginary breaks it into small, doable pieces. Gentle nudges, firm when it matters. Reminders are soft by default: a quiet heads-up, never a guilt trip. For the tasks that truly need to break through, you can opt specific ones into a firm alarm. You decide which tasks earn that. Today's Wins. Beginary frames what you started and showed up for, not what you didn't get to. No streaks to break. No red overdue. No "you missed it." BUILT FOR HOW ADHD ACTUALLY WORKS - No streaks, no badges, no leaderboards. Beginary never punishes you for an off day. - No shame language. The app stays calm, even when you don't. - Motion-sensitive by design. Reduced-motion settings are fully respected. YOUR DATA, YOUR CALL Privacy is built into the structure, not bolted on. Your task names and mood check-ins are yours. Beginary uses AI to help break tasks down, which sends the task title to Anthropic for that purpose only. Nothing else, and you can turn it off. Analytics are anonymous. We don't sell your data or use it for advertising. ON APPLE WATCH Today's list, the mood check, and a one-tap start on your wrist. The Watch app works alongside your iPhone. TRY IT FREE Beginary is free for 14 days, full access, no card required. After that, Pro is $8.99/month or $79/year for unlimited tasks, unlimited AI breakdowns, and your pattern history.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Beginary at 100% against Hyper's 43%. Beginary also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2). Hyper's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 6 days) and ratings volume (17 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Hyper sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month and Beginary sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Beginary holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hyper has 17 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 43% of Hyper's written reviews are positive against 100% of Beginary's.
Hyper ships an update daily, Beginary every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
