Struggling to stay focused? TiniAid helps your brain settle into productivity using adaptive sound environments designed for people with ADHD and other neurodivergent minds. Instead of forcing you to be productive, TiniAid creates the right soundscape so your mind can naturally focus.

Built for ADHD and Neurodivergent Minds - TiniAid’s sound environments are inspired by research on auditory stimulation and attention regulation. Studies suggest that certain types of music and sound patterns can support focus for people with ADHD by helping regulate stimulation levels.

Study and Productivity Sessions Use structured focus sessions to build better productivity habits and maintain momentum. Distraction-Free Design A minimal interface keeps your attention on your work, not the app. Perfect For • ADHD focus support • studying and exam preparation • deep work and productivity • reading and writing • creative flow • distraction-free concentration Focus becomes easier when your environment supports it.

"Just 5 minutes" turns into 2 hours. Sound familiar? That's time blindness. It's common with ADHD, and endless feeds make it worse: there's no clock inside a feed. Ember brings the clock back. While you're in the apps you choose, you get a quiet time check every 15 minutes: "30 min in TikTok today." No blocks, no lectures. Just the time, so you can decide. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps where time disappears: TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, anything. 2. Choose how often Ember checks in: every 5, 10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes. 3. Get a gentle time check while you scroll. Tap "5 more min" or "I'm done" right from the notification. WHAT YOU GET - Gentle time checks instead of hard blocks - "5 more min" check-ins: set your own wrap-up time without leaving the app - Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets: today's time at a glance - Evening time receipt: your day in hours, TV episodes and walks - An optional daily goal per app, with a streak for the days you stay in it - Daily and weekly usage charts BUILT FOR ADHD BRAINS No willpower tests, no guilt, no long setup.
