Meet Actimate. Your ADHD system, with a partner built in. Every Monday feels like a fresh start. By Wednesday, the system falls apart. Actimate is different: Pia, your AI accountability partner, learns what you are fighting, builds a system that fits your brain, and runs it with you every day, until the days you win outnumber the days you don't. IT STARTS WITH A CONVERSATION Tell Pia what you're working toward. No setup screens, no configuring. A conversation, not a configuration, that ends with a first step you can take today. ONE PLAN EACH MORNING. ONE QUESTION EACH NIGHT. - Each morning, pick up to 3 wins. Finish them and the day counts. - Normal day, rough day, or rest day: choose the version of today you can actually do. - Each evening, one question: did today count? BAD DAY? NOTHING BREAKS. - Days won never reset. Miss one and your total stays. - When you drift, Pia offers a lighter version of your day and keeps the door open. HABITS THAT BEND, NOT BREAK - Track the reps, not perfection. A missed day never erases your progress. - Tiny habit versions and cues tied to your routine. ONE THING AT A TIME - Exactly one next step, with a timer. Starting stops being the hard part. - Check a task off and feel it: the box fills the moment you tap. BIG GOALS, BROKEN INTO DAYS - Set the destination with Pia: milestones, weekly steps, daily tasks. - Invite an accountability partner who sees your progress and cheers you on. YOUR SYSTEM, EVERYWHERE - Widgets for today's tasks, habits, your streak, productivity, focus, your calendar, and your win plan. - Use Actimate on the web at actimate.io. Everything syncs with your phone. - Connect more than one Google account, work and personal, and see every calendar in one Today. Apple Calendar and Apple Reminders sync too. READ IT YOUR WAY - Light, dark, or a warm Sepia theme. - The OpenDyslexic font, if it's easier for you to read. - Motion stays calm when your device's Reduce Motion setting is on. Stop starting over. Start stacking good days. SUBSCRIPTION PRICING & TERMS Get started at no cost with our Free plan.

54% of people admit work is their top priority. A bigger priority than their families, relationships, and personal health. We get it. It's hard. You have big goals. You're trying to provide for yourself and your family. Work is important, having money is important, and your job can require long hours. "Work-life balance" implies you need some sort of equal time for all the important things. But we know this just isn't a reality. So what do you do? The solution is what we call "work-life harmony." This means seeing your life as one whole, not compartmentalized roles competing against each other. Work-life harmony isn't about equal time for each role. It's about ensuring each role gets the care it needs. This is why we built Harmony, to help you become more effective in all areas of your life, and to reach your full potential as a human. Inspired by principles taught in Atomic Habits, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, and Getting Things Done, planning with Harmony is simple yet extremely effective. Based on data from a pilot group of users, 77% reported "good" or "very good" health in all their roles after 30 days, compared to only 23% at the start. One user, after using the app for several weeks, commented: "Harmony has completely changed how I approach my weeks, and my life." So how does it work? There are 3 core steps: 1. Establish your mission First, take a step back. What do you really want in life? Harmony will help you create a Personal Mission Statement, establishing your deeper why. You really can't think about what's next week until you know what's at the end. Harmony also allows you to create long term goals, guided by your mission. 2. Plan your weeks based on roles We've found planning at the weekly level, based on roles, to be very effective. Daily planning or to do lists are a good start, but they're too short sighted. The week is a perfect frame of reference. Harmony will guide you every week in thoughtful planning sessions and suggest goals based on your mission. 3. Live it daily Rather than daily planning, we just review our weekly plan throughout the week. Harmony's AI will help you time-block your goals (or smaller tasks) and nudge you to do the right things at the right times, so you can live in accordance with your mission and plans every day. The app is simple to use and engaging. When you check off a goal, you'll see confetti fly in the air. When it's time for weekly planning, we will make you feel the urgency an Alarm that bypasses do not distrub. This app isn't going to magically do the work for you. But if you're someone who is striving to be a good person and just lack a some nudging and structure, this is the perfect app for you. Features: - Meditation-like mission statement builder - Role-based weekly planning - Simple 1-2 high-impact goals per role - Alarm notifications - Home Screen widgets for your mission and weekly goals - Weekly reminders to do your planning - Private, offline, encrypted on-device data - Dark mode --- Need help?
