Task paralysis isn't laziness. Time blindness isn't carelessness. Kickstart is the ADHD app that gets you *started* β€” not another planner you'll abandon by Thursday. One tap breaks any task into micro-steps you can physically start in 2 minutes. Body double with people who get it. Watch time shrink instead of guessing. Streaks that bend when life happens, instead of breaking you. WHY KICKSTART WORKS DIFFERENTLY β€’ Unstick Me β€” splits any task into tiny steps; step 1 always takes 2 minutes or less. Runs on your device, works offline β€’ Launch Pad β€” ONE next action, not a guilt list β€’ Visible time β€” shrinking radial timers, Live Activities, widgets, Apple Watch β€’ Body Double Rooms β€” silent live co-working, zero chat pressure β€’ Bendy streaks β€” miss a day, the vine bends; it never breaks β€’ Brain Dump β€” add anything in under 3 seconds from anywhere, sort never β€’ Start Ritual β€” a 20-second runway from intention to action β€’ Routines that compress when you're running late, and say so plainly β€’ Wins, not shame β€” we celebrate starting, never graph your failures BUILT FOR ADHD BRAINS No courses. No setup marathon. No red badges piling up. Everything works without an account, and voice input runs offline and on-device. Free during early access β€” no ads, no subscription, no account required. Your tasks never leave your device. No ads, no tracking, no data sale. Ever. Kickstart is a productivity support tool. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, or cure ADHD or any condition.
