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.
