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.
