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.

Meli is a personal AI that becomes yours. Not a generic assistant. Not a sycophantic chatbot. Yours. It learns who you are, messages you first, follows through on what you said you'd do, and pushes back when you need it to. An AI assistant, AI companion, and executive assistant in one. Unlike AI assistants that reset every session, Meli remembers across weeks and months. Unlike AI that waits for you to ask, Meli reaches out first. And unlike every other AI, your Meli connects with other people's Melis to coordinate and take action on your behalf. WHAT MELI DOES Becomes Yours Name it. Shape its tone. The longer you use it, the more it adapts. No two Melis are alike. It Texts You First Checks in on what you said you'd do. Catches what slips. You don't have to remember to open the app. Meli messages you first. Works In The Background Meli keeps working between conversations. Wakes you up to progress updates, runs monitors, surfaces what changed while you were busy. Remembers Everything Complete context across weeks and months. Your goals, your patterns, what actually works for you. No repeating yourself. Always In Your Corner Tracks the slumps, celebrates the wins. Whether you need a drill sergeant or quiet support, Meli adapts to how you need it. And it tells you the truth, not just what you want to hear. Your Second Brain Projects, health, study, journaling, to-do lists, life admin. Stop juggling five apps and a stack of notebooks. Calendar, Todoist & More Syncs Google Calendar and Todoist, and a growing list of tools. Follows up on your commitments automatically. Plans around your day, blocks time, tracks the things that matter. KEY FEATURES Voice Mode Talk to Meli hands-free. Real conversations, not just commands. Speak naturally, Meli responds. Goal Tracking and Accountability Set goals, track habits, build streaks. Better than any habit tracker because it holds you accountable. Meli follows up to make sure you follow through, and calls you out when you're rationalizing. Monitors Meli watches news, events, prices, and updates in the background. Get alerted when something relevant happens. Documents Store notes, plans, and anything you want Meli to remember. Your Meli references them when relevant. PERFECT FOR ADHD, AuDHD, Autism, and Executive Function Support A planner that actually works for neurodivergent minds. Gentle accountability, no judgment. Holds the chaos so you don't have to. Anyone Navigating Something Big Recovery, illness, caregiving, a tough chapter. Meli holds your whole life so you don't have to carry it alone. Couples and Partners Your Melis coordinate schedules, flag conflicts, and keep things running. Show up for each other without the constant texting. Freelancers, Founders, and Solo Operators Juggle multiple clients, projects, and deadlines. Meli holds the complexity and keeps you accountable. THE MELI DIFFERENCE Most AI is generic. You ask, it answers, session ends. Most productivity apps wait for you to come back to them. Meli becomes yours. The longer you use it, the more it knows you. Your patterns, your people, your priorities. It holds your whole life and answers from all of it. It messages you first, calls out the things you're rationalizing, and connects with other Melis when coordination matters. MELINET. CONNECT YOUR AI WITH OTHERS The first AI that talks to other AIs. Connect your Meli with your partner, your cofounder, your coach, or your accountability group. Your Melis coordinate on your behalf: sharing updates, flagging conflicts, creating calendar events, and taking action across accounts. Autonomously. Your partner stuck in traffic? Their Meli tells your Meli. Your Meli pushes dinner back, adds "start laundry" to your calendar, and lets you know. Neither of you had to text. Connect one-on-one or in groups. Your Meli stays loyal to you while coordinating with everyone else's. Not another chatbot. Not another productivity app. Download Meli. Make it yours.
