Tired of task apps that make you feel broken? If you have ADHD, autism, or just a busy mind, you know the struggle. Traditional productivity apps weren't built for brains like ours. Time blindness, executive dysfunction, and energy crashes aren't bugs in your system – they're features that need the right tools. Diverge works WITH your brain, not against it: ENERGY-AWARE SCHEDULING We know you can't just "push through" when you're depleted. Match your tasks to your actual capacity with our revolutionary energy system. High-energy tasks for peak focus times, medium for regular work, low for when you're running on fumes. VOICE-FIRST BRAIN DUMP When typing feels impossible, just speak. Our AI-powered brain dump feature transforms your verbal stream of consciousness into organized, actionable tasks. Perfect for capturing racing thoughts before they vanish. RECURRING TASKS Some things just need to happen regularly. Set tasks to repeat daily, weekly, or monthly and never waste mental energy remembering to add them again. Your routines, automated. FOCUS MODE When your brain needs to lock in, Focus Mode strips away the noise. One task at a time, full screen, no distractions. Just you and the thing in front of you. TODAY & SOMEDAY VIEWS • Today: Swipeable calendar for scheduled tasks with energy filtering • Someday: A guilt-free parking lot for tasks without deadlines • No shame about moving tasks – flexibility is built in END-OF-DAY CLEANUP A gentle, guided process to review incomplete tasks each evening. Complete them, reschedule for tomorrow, or delete without judgment. Finally, close your loops without the anxiety spiral. SMART SUBTASKS Break overwhelming tasks into bite-sized pieces. Drag to reorder, check off as you go, and watch your progress build momentum. Completed subtasks stay completed (no random reordering!). MOMENTUM TRACKING See your progress through weekly and monthly views that celebrate what you DID accomplish, not what you didn't. Small wins count. Progress over perfection, always. FEATURES THAT ACTUALLY HELP: • Quick capture with voice or text • Color-coded energy levels you can see at a glance • Recurring tasks for daily, weekly, or monthly routines • Focus mode for distraction-free work • Motivational messages that change daily (no toxic positivity) • Dark mode by default (less sensory overwhelm) • Generous tap targets and spacing • Search and filter by energy, date, or status • Unlimited tasks and subtasks • Private and secure (your data is yours) BUILT BY NEURODIVERGENTS, FOR NEURODIVERGENTS We're not trying to "fix" you or turn you into a productivity machine. We built Diverge because we needed it ourselves. Every feature comes from real struggles and real solutions that actually work for brains like ours.

Stop guessing what to do this weekend. • Home jobs prioritised by effort, cost and importance • Shared calendar and grocery lists for the whole household • Assign tasks and get notified when they are done Every homeowner knows the feeling. There is always something that needs doing. A tap that drips, gutters to clean, smoke detectors to check, a fence that leans a little more each winter. The list grows. You forget what is urgent. You cannot agree with your partner on what to tackle first. Weekends slip by without a plan. HomeQueue fixes this. It is the only app that priority-scores every household job, plans your weekends around what matters most, and keeps your whole household in sync with a shared calendar, shared lists, and shared responsibility. PRIORITY SCORING THAT DECIDES FOR YOU Rate each job by effort, cost, and how much it matters to you. HomeQueue scores everything and ranks your list so you can see at a glance what to tackle first. Stop debating whether to fix the leaky tap or service the air conditioning. HomeQueue sorts it for you. PLAN YOUR WEEKENDS, NOT YOUR STRESS The Plan tab organises jobs by week, ranked by priority. Set your household's availability (hours per weekend, days you are away) and tap the flashing Optimise button. HomeQueue suggests the smartest schedule based on everyone's time, not just yours. Accept, reject, or drag jobs between weeks. Lock tasks in place when the plan is set. SHARE THE LOAD WITH YOUR HOUSEHOLD Invite your partner, family, or housemates. Assign jobs to specific people and get notified when tasks are done. Owner, admin, and member roles keep permissions clear. Everyone sees the same plan. No more "I didn't know that needed doing." HUB: SHARED CALENDAR AND LISTS The Hub brings your whole household together in one place. Share a family calendar, create household task lists, and manage a shared grocery list with items organised by category. Everyone stays in sync across all their devices, in real time. 50+ MAINTENANCE TEMPLATES BUILT IN Service the air conditioner. Clean the gutters. Check smoke detectors. Flush the hot water system. Choose from over 50 pre-built recurring maintenance templates or create custom ones with any interval. HomeQueue reminds you before critical upkeep falls behind. CAPTURE JOBS IN SECONDS Spot something that needs fixing? Say "Hey Siri, create a HomeQueue job" and it is captured instantly. Add details, photos, and priority later. WORKS ACROSS ALL YOUR DEVICES Everything syncs between your iPhone and the web app at homequeue.app. Add a job on your phone, plan your weekend on your laptop. Your household sees the same plan everywhere, always up to date. STAY IN THE LOOP Friday evening digest previews your weekend plan. Notifications fire when someone assigns you a task. Overdue upkeep reminders keep your home in top shape, not just clean, but properly maintained. FREE TO START. PRO WHEN YOU ARE READY. Free: 5 active jobs, 3 upkeep schedules, 1 household. Pro: Unlimited jobs, unlimited upkeep, photo attachments, multiple households. HomeQueue is for people who own property and want to stay on top of it, whether you live there or rent it out. Not for professional property managers or letting agencies. Just you, your property, and a clear plan for what to tackle next.
