Most habit trackers demand perfection. We built one for reality. If standard productivity apps leave you feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or ashamed when you miss a single day, you have found your safe space. Welcome to your new Life OS. Designed specifically for ADHD, neurodivergent brains, and anyone exhausted by toxic hustle culture, this is a daily routine planner and habit tracker that actually forgives you. Think of it like a playlist for your day. Whether you need a structured morning launchpad, a gentle evening wind-down, or a screen-free deep work session, we put your schedule on autopilot. We act as your gentle digital "body double"—guiding you step-by-step so you can stop overthinking and start doing. BUILD A ROUTINE THAT FITS YOUR BRAIN Beat "blank canvas paralysis" by mixing 4 unique activity types: • Focus Timers: Classic countdowns with a forgiving "+2 min" button. • Checklists: Instant, 1-tap completions for quick wins (e.g., Take vitamins). • Passive Timers: Track habits that run in the background (e.g., Do laundry). • Open-Ended Mode: A stress-free "count-up" timer for creative hobbies. No loud alarms, no task panic. A STREAK SYSTEM THAT FORGIVES We measure resilience, not perfection. Say goodbye to the "all-or-nothing" shame spiral. • Mental Health Days: Exhausted? Safely pause your routine without breaking your streak. No red screens of failure. • Rest Days: Schedule your weekends off. Your streak safely carries forward. • Momentum Score: We replace brittle streaks with a rolling, forgiving 14-day "health bar" of your daily habits. SCREEN-FREE "BODY DOUBLING" Your smartphone screen is a distraction trap. • Voice Prompts: Put your phone face-down. The app will speak your next steps out loud so you don't get sucked into social media. • Sensory-Friendly Audio: Choose warm completion chimes, or use "Silent Mode" with gentle haptic taps to prevent sensory overload. CURE WORKING-MEMORY ANXIETY "Wait, did I lock the door? Did I take my meds?" Add optional Photo Checkpoints to high-stress tasks. Snap a quick, private photo to prove you did it, instantly curing your anxiety later in the day. CONQUER TIME-BLINDNESS Constantly running late? The app automatically calculates your exact "Est. Finish Time" before you even hit play. If a 5-minute shower actually takes you 12 minutes, our Smart Timing learns your real pace and lets you update your template with one tap. EXPLORE & SHARE Don't want to build from scratch? Browse the Explore tab to 1-tap download pre-built routines for Morning Kickstarts, Survival Mode resets, and ADHD self-care. Built the perfect flow? Share it with friends via a simple web link! AN ETHICAL FREE TIER Mental health tools shouldn't be held hostage by paywalls. Our generous free tier gives you everything you need to run your core daily routines (including Custom Themes, Dark Mode, the Explore Tab, and up to 4 complete routines).

About

MindWander · Brain Dump

Walking thoughts pile up unread. MindWander catches them mid-walk and shapes them into a to-do, a journal entry, or an essay you can actually ship today. For ADHD adults who think by talking — writers, founders, builders, knowledge workers who walk-and-talk because that's how the thought wants to happen. The bundle nothing else ships: → One-tap capture from your Lock Screen, the Action Button, or your Apple Watch. No "open the app first." Catch the thought before it leaves. → On-device shaping by Apple Intelligence. Your audio never leaves the phone. Transcripts sync via your own private iCloud — never a server we own. → Pick your shape per walk: to-do (verb-led, 1–7 items), essay (title + paragraphs + a pull quote), journal (loose mirroring of your voice). Tweak the instructions — your shape, your words. → ADHD-paced playback. Tappable transcript chunks. A one-line "past-me intent" at the top so you know what the walk was about without re-reading the whole thing. → Sunday recap (optional). What you've been thinking about — your top threads, your own voice. What you avoid: • No subscription. $34.99 once. Lifetime really means lifetime. • No cloud account. No login. No tracking SDK. • No "AI-powered" buzz. The model runs on your iPhone 15 Pro or newer. Older iPhones still capture and read transcripts; on-device shaping needs the newer chip. • Family Sharing on — share with your household at no extra cost. For the AudioPen / Letterly user tired of the subscription: $99/yr → $34.99 once. Same custom prompts. Same multi-shape output. Plus the iOS-native capture surfaces — Lock Screen widget, Action Button binding, Apple Watch standalone. For the Voice Memos user staring at 50 unread recordings: The recording was the easy part. The hard part is the structured thing you'd actually use. That's what we do. — — — Made by Hyojinmo. Solo build, no VC, no growth team. Every email at support@vibeland.app goes to a real person.
