What are you avoiding right now? Not the whole list. The one thing — the email you keep reopening, the report you haven't started, the call you keep moving to tomorrow. The task isn't the problem. Starting is. TAMTAE is for the two minutes before you start. Say what's making the task hard, out loud or in writing. See the thinking pattern that might be stopping you. Take one small, concrete step. Then TAMTAE lets you go. HOW A SESSION WORKS 1. Talk it out or write it out. Describe what you're avoiding and what makes it feel heavy. Voice is transcribed on your device where possible. 2. Check in. Rate how heavy it feels, 1–5, and pick the feelings that fit. 3. Get one reflection: what TAMTAE heard, one thinking pattern offered as a hypothesis — never a verdict — and one next small move sized to fit it. 4. Begin. A short encouragement, an "I'm starting now," and you're done. No timers, no follow-up chat, nothing else to manage. Reflections are AI-generated: the text of your entry is processed securely on our server to produce one structured response. It is never used to train models. WHAT TAMTAE IS NOT An AI chat will talk about your procrastination for as long as you let it — TAMTAE is designed to end. A journal looks backward at your day — TAMTAE points at the task in front of you. A task manager breaks work into steps — TAMTAE deals with why you won't start the first one. No scores, no shame mechanics, nothing to keep up. Built with ADHD-friendly design principles: short prompts, low visual noise, explicit permission to stop early. QUIET FOLLOW-THROUGH Every session is saved privately. History shows how heavy things felt over time — a line, not a scoreboard. One optional check-in asks how it went, about a day later, once. With TAMTAE Plus: see the thinking patterns that keep turning up, and export a Therapist Report — a PDF you choose to share, generated on your phone. PRIVACY Entries are encrypted in transit and at rest, protected by Face ID app lock, never used to train models, and never placed in analytics or logs. Voice is transcribed on-device where supported; raw audio is never uploaded. Delete your data, or your whole account, from inside the app. PLANS Start with 14 days of TAMTAE Plus free — no payment method required. • TAMTAE — 2 guided reflections a day. $4.99/month or $39.99/year (US). • TAMTAE Plus — 10 a day, pattern trends, Therapist Reports. $9.99/month or $79.99/year (US). • TAMTAE Plus Lifetime — one-time purchase, $199.99 (US).
