ADHD isn't a deficit — it's a different operating system. Hyper helps you channel your natural hyperfocus into real progress, instead of fighting your brain to be "normal." No sign-up. No paywall. Just open it and start. HYPERFOCUS, ON DEMAND A dead-simple focus timer built for ADHD brains. Pick a task, hit start, ride the wave. Extend when you're in flow, and get a gentle rescue when you stall. A COACH THAT ACTUALLY GETS IT Your Hyperfocus Coach is an AI trained to understand ADHD — not a generic chatbot. Stuck on the "wall of awful"? It shrinks the task to a 2-minute first step. Overwhelmed? It gives you one move, not a lecture. Shame-free, always. BEAT THE WALL OF AWFUL Break big scary tasks into tiny, doable wins. Plan your day without the overwhelm, and build momentum one micro-step at a time. STREAKS & XP THAT STICK Earn XP, unlock badges, and watch your streak grow. Dopamine-aware design that rewards showing up — because for ADHD brains, motivation is everything. SEE YOUR PATTERNS Track your focus time, peak hours, and flow patterns so you can work with your brain, not against it. WHY HYPER IS DIFFERENT - Strengths-based: we channel your energy, we don't "fix" you - Action over planning: do the first 30 seconds - Shame-free zone: procrastination is just waiting for the right fuel - Free and private: start instantly, no account required Made for the neurodivergent mind. Your superpower, not your planner. Terms of Use: https://wilburnhuang.github.io/hyperfocuscoach-legal/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://wilburnhuang.github.io/hyperfocuscoach-legal/privacy.html
