Standard productivity apps weren't built for your brain. Sparknest was. SEE TIME, DON'T COUNT IT A color disc visibly drains as minutes pass. For time blindness, a shrinking shape registers when numbers don't. Numbers stressing you out? Tap to hide them. ONE TINY STEP AT A TIME Big tasks cause task paralysis. Brain-dump anything, break it into the tiniest possible steps, and Sparknest only ever shows you the next one. NO BROKEN STREAKS. EVER. Guilt doesn't motivate ADHD brains — it shuts them down. Sparks add up forever, off days don't erase anything, and instead of a fragile streak you get a "best week" to beat. INSTANT REWARDS Confetti and haptics for every step done and every session finished. Your brain gets the dopamine it actually responds to. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No cloud. Your tasks never leave your device. Note : Sparknest is a productivity tool, not a medical device, and is not a treatment for ADHD. SUBSCRIPTION - The app requires a paid auto-renewable subscription. A 3 days free trial is included; after the trial, a subscription is required to continue using the app. Terms of Use (EULA) - https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy - http://sofonica.com/privacy-policy/
