Staring at a long to-do list and freezing? Easeline is a visual day planner built for ADHD brains. Your day becomes a vertical timeline from 6 AM to 11 PM. Each task is a colored time block you can see, drag, and check off. When the day gets away from you — and it will — you move what you missed to tomorrow with a single touch. No broken streaks. No guilt screens. Just a fresh block. ▶ How it works • Open the app — your day is already there as time blocks • Long-press a block and drag it to a new time (snaps to 15 minutes) • Tap the checkbox when a block is done • End of day? Roll every unfinished block to tomorrow with one button • A gentle morning reminder, on your schedule, in your words ▶ Why it works for ADHD • Visual, not a list — you see time, not a wall of text • One-touch reschedule — missing a task is not a failure • No streaks, no shame UI — nothing to "break" • Time-boxed blocks reduce the decision fatigue of an open day • 60 seconds to your first win — no onboarding wall ▶ What's inside • A 17-hour visual timeline (6 AM–11 PM) with a live "now" line • Four category colors: Work, Personal, Health, Other • Drag-to-move blocks with haptic snap feedback • Add, edit, and delete blocks — swipe to delete with undo • A daily morning reminder you can turn on and time yourself • A simple monthly calendar showing the days you showed up • Light, dark, and system themes • Six languages: English, 한국어, 日本語, Deutsch, Français, Español ▶ Free, with an optional upgrade Easeline is free, supported by light, non-intrusive ads. Want a quiet screen? Remove ads forever — a one-time purchase, no subscription, no hidden fees. ▶ Privacy first • Everything stays on your device • No account, no email, no login • Works fully offline — only ads need a connection Easeline is for adults with ADHD and anyone who finds traditional planners overwhelming.
