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.

Your time has a price. Moth shows you what you're paying - and helps you stop. Set your hourly rate, sort your apps into three buckets, and watch the meter run. Time in apps you've marked Negative costs money. Time in apps that move you forward earns it back. YOUR FOCUS SCORE - One number for the last 14 days, built from five tiles: Scroll Control, Habits, Balance, Body and Progress - Ten levels from Doomscrolling to Untethered, so you always know where you stand - Tap any tile to see what it measures, its 14-day history and the fastest way to move it - Judged against your own settings, never against other people FRIENDS AND CHALLENGES - Make a profile, add friends by @username or from your contacts, and compare Focus Scores, streaks and badges on a leaderboard - Everyone gets the same challenge on the same day - call a friend, read a book, a walk without your phone. Fitness challenges count from Apple Health once you tap Start, and some are timed - Seventeen badges earned from your days, kept on your account HOW IT WORKS - Every day you get scroll time you choose - guilt-free minutes for scrolling - Past it, your blocked apps lock behind a pause screen showing exactly what the time cost: pages of your book unread, words of a language unlearned - Want in anyway? One honest tap buys a few more minutes - but it tells you it will end your streak first - Streaks count your days inside your scroll time. A flame for every day, a ring past six, and new colours at 25, 50, 90 and 100 - Alerts on the whole day's screen time against a daily target you set MONEY, NOT GUILT - Your own hourly rate turns minutes into dollars, earned and lost - Big totals also read as business time: 8 hours is a work day, 40 a work week - A daily breakdown shows every app's time, money, and how it compares to yesterday - Turn on True cost to price your scroll time too GOALS THAT PUSH BACK - Pick goals - read a book, learn Spanish, get fit - and see what wasted time could have bought - Link positive apps to a goal (Audible to reading, Duolingo to Spanish) and time in them earns real progress automatically - Pages roll into chapters and books; words roll into subjects QUIET HOURS AND WIDGETS - A Focus Filter for your Do Not Disturb schedule, and Start and End Quiet Hours shortcuts - Home-screen widgets built around your score, today's challenge, your friends' leaderboard, your buckets and your top goal YOUR HISTORY, KEPT - Week, month, year and all-time views with tappable charts - green, red and neutral time for every day - Weekly, monthly and yearly reviews that tell the story of your days - On iPhones in the EU, Apple lets Moth read your Screen Time directly, so your full history syncs to your account. Elsewhere, Apple draws your numbers inside the app and your score builds from the apps you pick PRO Moth Pro unlocks Year and All-Time history, month-by-month browsing, Earn Scroll Time by moving, the In-Flight Pass, and per-app App Intentions - open limits with a mindful pause and per-app streaks. WHAT IT DOESN'T DO It never polices anyone else's phone - this is a tool you point at yourself. Your data is never sold and never shared with advertisers. Blocking only ever applies to apps you choose, and you can pause it any time. Friends see your score, streak and badges - never your apps, minutes or money, and your sleep and movement figures only if you choose to share them. An account is optional. Without one, everything stays on your device. Privacy Policy: https://mothflame.app/privacy Terms of Use: https://mothflame.app/terms
