Addison — ADHD Task Manager, Focus Timer & Executive Function App The executive function app for people who want it all the ambitious, the overwhelmed, the ones with a hundred ideas and a hard time starting. Most productivity apps give you a list. Addison gives you a next move. If you've ever stared at a to-do list and felt your brain short-circuit, if you've ever known exactly what you needed to do and still couldn't start, Addison was built for you. How it works Dump everything on your mind into your task list; assignments, errands, that email you've been avoiding, the laundry, the thing you promised yourself you'd do last Tuesday. Addison organizes it, prioritizes it, and hands you back one thing to focus on. No decisions. No overwhelm. Just what's next. When you're ready, start the timer. A 3-2-1 countdown marks the moment you cross from thinking into doing. The timer fills the screen as time completes, so you always feel your progress. One task at a time. That's the whole thing. Built for ADHD, executive dysfunction, and everyone in between. Addison is a productivity app for people with ADHD, executive dysfunction, autism, anxiety, depression, or anyone who struggles with task initiation, focus, procrastination, time blindness, overwhelm, and follow-through, without the shame. Whether you're a college student managing coursework and deadlines, a graduate student writing a thesis, a working professional juggling projects, a parent running a household, a freelancer balancing clients, or just someone trying to stop spinning and start doing — Addison meets you where you are. It's a daily planner, a focus coach, a gentle accountability partner, and a to-do list that actually understands why to-do lists don't work. Why Addison is different Most ADHD apps, productivity apps, and task management tools assume you already know what to do next. Addison assumes the opposite — that knowing what to do next is the hardest part. Every feature is built around lowering the cost of starting. - One thing at a time. Instead of an overwhelming list, Addison shows you a single next action. The rest waits until you're ready. - A ritual, not just a timer. The 3-2-1 countdown turns "starting" into a small, repeatable ceremony — the kind of cue ADHD brains need to shift gears. - Visible progress.The timer fills the screen as you work, giving you constant, ambient feedback on time passing — the antidote to time blindness. - Breakdowns on demand. When a task feels too big, Addison breaks it down into smaller steps you can actually begin. Features - Smart task prioritization built for ADHD and executive function challenges - AI-powered task breakdown for overwhelming projects, papers, and multi-step goals - Focus timer with signature 3-2-1 countdown ritual - Full-screen timer that visualizes time as it passes — for time blindness - Streak tracking, daily progress insights, and completion history - Multiple prioritization modes — Quick Wins, Deadline-First, Custom Order, Smart Mode, Daily Routine, and Category Focus - Gentle nudges to keep you on track without shame or pressure - Clean, distraction-free interface designed for sensory sensitivity - Works as a daily planner, homework planner, study timer, and focus tool Who Addison helps - Students with ADHD managing homework, assignments, exams, and deadlines - College and graduate students balancing coursework, research, and life - Working professionals with executive dysfunction or adult ADHD - Writers, creatives, and freelancers who struggle to start - Parents managing households, kids, and mental load - Anyone with autism, anxiety, depression, or burnout looking for a gentler productivity system - Late-diagnosed adults finally looking for tools that fit their brain - Anyone who's tried every productivity app and bounced off them all https://www.myaddison.app/terms-and-conditions

Numbers cause anxiety. Watching a clock count down kills your flow. Timefall transforms your focus sessions into a calming, kinetic experience. Feel time physically through falling spheres driven by a real physics engine. THE SCIENCE OF VISUAL FOCUS According to Attention Restoration Theory (ART), observing gentle, predictable motion—like flowing water or falling sand—triggers "Soft Fascination." Timefall’s physics engine mimics this natural phenomenon. By replacing stressful ticking numbers with smooth kinetic physics, your brain avoids the anxiety of a countdown and maintains a state of deep work longer. DEEP APPLE ECOSYSTEM INTEGRATION • Dynamic Island & Live Activities: Your focus progress is always visible without unlocking your phone. • Apple Health Sync: Automatically log your sessions as "Mindful Minutes" to close your daily rings. • Hybrid AlarmKit System: Enterprise-grade reliability. Your break alarm will ring exactly on time, every time. BUILT FOR ADHD & VISUAL THINKERS • Cures "Time Blindness" by making time a physical volume you can see. • Eliminates the stress of standard rigid timers. • Tangible progress feedback keeps the dopamine flowing. • Visual timer with real physics. Each second becomes a falling ball you can see and feel. • Pomodoro for deep work. Custom focus & break intervals with full-screen, reliable alarms. WHY TIMEFALL - Reduce anxiety by seeing time flow naturally, not just counting down. - Ideal for visual thinkers and those who find standard timers stressful. - Turn focus into a tangible, satisfying process. PERFECT FOR - Pomodoro technique & Deep Work - ADHD / Neurodivergent minds needing visual cues - Studying & Exam prep - Meditation & Mindfulness practice - Interval training MINIMALIST DESIGN Beautiful interface that doesn't distract.
