adhDO helps you bring order to your day with a simple, linear timeline. No magic formulas, no motivational slogans – just an interface that doesn't guilt-trip you and lets you focus on what actually matters. Especially comfortable for people with ADHD, but designed to feel good for anyone tired of chaotic to-do lists. Timeline instead of endless lists All your tasks live in a single flow of time. Today's tasks sit at the top, tomorrow's below, then the days after. No separate boards or folders – you open the app and see exactly today and its real load, not a giant heap of everything in your life. An honest archive Yesterday and older days automatically move into the archive. Unfinished tasks don't drag behind you forever. If something really matters, pull it back to today in seconds. This lowers guilt and removes the illusion that you're "obliged" to do everything someday. Break down big tasks Any task can be split into tiny, concrete steps. Instead of a vague "I should deal with this someday," your brain sees a specific next step that takes two minutes – making it easier to start. Automatic day archiving Every day is like a separate page of your life. Today you work with it, tomorrow it gently moves into the archive. What's relevant stays in front of you. What's past remains accessible but doesn't press on you. Full sync iPhone, iPad, and Mac work together through iCloud. No extra registration, no third-party accounts – just secure, seamless sync. Deep iOS integration Add tasks with Siri, widgets for Home and Lock Screen, reminders and alarms, Shortcuts support, accessibility (VoiceOver, Dynamic Type), gesture controls and drag-and-drop between days. adhDO is available with a subscription or a one-time purchase.

SelfNotify is a simple, powerful way to send notifications to yourself from anywhere. Whether you’re running scripts, monitoring servers, tracking automations, or just want quick reminders, SelfNotify gives you a private push notification endpoint tied to your device. No API keys, no complex setup—just your personal token. What it does SelfNotify lets you trigger push notifications by sending an HTTP POST request to a single endpoint. Your device receives the notification instantly. Premium subscribers can add optional fields like title, subtitle, sound, and alert level for richer alerts. It’s built for developers, automation enthusiasts, and anyone who wants reliable “push-to-self” messaging. How it works • Install the app and sign in. • Get your personal token from the main screen. • Send a POST request to: https://self-notify.com/send, Works with JSON or URL-encoded form data • Include your token and message. Premium subscribers can add optional fields like title, subtitle, sound, or alert level. That’s it. The notification arrives on your device. Ideal for • DevOps: alert yourself when jobs fail or succeed • CI/CD: build, test, deploy notifications • Cron jobs and scripts • Personal automations and reminders • Monitoring disk space, uptime, or log events • Quick pings from any service that can send HTTP Flexible notification levels (Premium) Choose how intrusive a message should be: • Active (default) • Passive (quiet delivery) • Time-Sensitive • Critical Extra customization (Premium) • Custom sounds (CAF) • Subtitle support • Extra custom fields for reference inside the app Free tier and subscription SelfNotify is free for up to 20 messages per day. Optional fields (title, subtitle, alert level, and sound) are available with a premium subscription. If you need more, an affordable subscription removes the daily limit so you can send as many notifications as you like. Privacy-first Your token is private and unique. It’s the only key needed to send notifications to your device. Notifications are not retained on our servers after delivery; they are removed once delivered and stored locally within the app. Quick example (JSON) Send a message in seconds: POST to https://self-notify.com/send Body: { "token": "YOUR_TOKEN", "title": "Build Complete", "message": "CI finished successfully." } SelfNotify is built for reliability and speed, with a clean interface and instant feedback. It’s the missing piece for anyone who wants fast, personal alerts without building a full notification backend.
