ADHD planner and task manager built for brain dumps, hyperfocus, and scattered to-do lists. Turn chaos into clear next steps with the ADD framework. addTaskManager gives ADHD brains, busy professionals, and students a structured path from scattered to do lists to finished tasks — without the complexity of traditional task managers. A real ADHD planner, that works with your brain, not against it. The ADD Framework • Assess – Dump all your tasks, ideas, and projects here without worrying about priorities or deadlines. Just get them out of your head. • Decide – Review what you've captured. Assign contexts, set priorities, and schedule what needs scheduling. Move items forward when you're ready. • Do – Your focused workspace. Only what you've decided to work on appears here, organized by time: today, this week, this month. Features That Actually Help • Quick Capture – Add a task in seconds. Decide where it belongs later. • Universal Search – Find any task, project, or idea instantly across all realms from one search bar. • Real-Time Sync – Your task manager seamlessly syncs across iPhone, iPad, and Mac via iCloud. Start on your phone, continue on your tablet. • Share & Collaborate – Invite others to shared collections. Everyone stays in sync automatically through CloudKit. • ZenStatus – See how many items are in each stage of your workflow at a glance. • AI Summaries – Intelligent insights about your tasks and patterns. On-device processing means your data stays private. (Requires iOS 18.1+ with Apple Intelligence) • Collections – Group related items across all realms. Create a collection for a project, a client, or any way you organize your work. Built for Focus No gamification. No social features. No complexity for complexity's sake. Just a clear path from "I have too much to do" to "I know exactly what to do next." Works well for anyone who feels overwhelmed by traditional task managers — particularly those with ADHD who benefit from externalizing thoughts and breaking work into clear stages. Privacy First All your data stays on your devices and in your personal iCloud. AI features process entirely on-device. We don't have access to your tasks.

Problem 1: Too Many Thoughts Our ADHD minds are constantly flooded with new thoughts and ideas. Float Note has a unique task capture mechanism built in that appears every time you open the app, allowing you to capture your thoughts right away without having to worry about organizing them immediately. You can do your task management later, at your own convenience. Problem 2: Trouble Organizing Once we're able to capture our many thoughts and ideas throughout the day, problem 2 arises. How do we organize that big pile of potential greatness we just recorded? Inbox Wizard to the rescue. We created a unique wizard tool that allows you to quickly and efficiently sort and organize all your new tasks into spaces, projects and todo lists. Organizing your life, tasks, and ideas has never been faster. Problem 3: Feeling Overwhelmed Once we have everything structured and organized, we realize how much work it is going to take. We become paralyzed; so much to do, so little time. We spend what little time we have doing nothing, and with a little luck we get caught up in one of our weekly episodes of task paralysis. But no more! Skuddy 2.0, our most advanced AI planning tool, has you covered. Our planning tool determines your most important tasks based on the selection of spaces and todos you tell it to work on. Once we have your schedule structured, organized and ready to go, you can add your human touch by playing a game of Priority Poker. A simple but innovative game that pits tasks against each other for that highly desired first spot of importance. We call it automated scheduling with a human touch. Problem 4: And last but not least. Once we get going, it's hard to stay focused unless we're able to put ourselves in a state of hyperfocus. Fear no more restless child, our Pomodoro Timer with Productive Breaks (Choredoros) makes staying focused fun and easy! Including background sounds, shiny indicators and the innovative concept of "Choredoros". Choredoros are small tasks that you write down to do during your Pomodoro breaks. Perfect for people with ADHD who find anything that does not give them the slightest dopamine hit extremely difficult to start. But when we have a 5 minute deadline, any task becomes a (5 minute) walk in the park for us. To complement these ADHD task management tools, we have a few more innovative productivity tools up our sleeves that you might like. Labels: You can use these labels to categorize spaces and todo lists together. Useful for searching and quick input when using our AI scheduling tools. Time Tracking: If you are someone that needs to track their time spent on tasks, enable our time tracking. We then start a daily timer when you start working on your tasks. When you complete a task, the time spent on that task will automatically be time tracked. At the end of the day, you can visit the Time Tracking page to see all the tasks you completed that day as well as their durations. Our time tracking editing tools allow you to quickly align them to a preferred time block, round their durations, and copy them to your clipboard to use as you wish. Global Search: If you ever get confused about where you put a task or todo list, use our global search feature. It deeply scans your tasks, spaces and to-do lists, letter by letter, and presents them to you in a structured and organized way. This ensures that you can find and retrieve any task, at any time, with the tap of a button. Float Note is being developed by people with ADHD on a mission to eliminate all the problems people with ADHD commonly face when trying to live an efficient and productive life. We believe that ADHD is a superpower if you know how to channel it correctly. We help you do that. Download Float Note today and get ready to take control of your thoughts, organize your life, and stay focused like never before.
