Orion – Your Starship for ADHD Hi, I’m the developer of Orion, and like many of you, I’ve lived with ADHD for years. I don’t call myself a “patient”—I see it as neurodiversity, a different way of experiencing the world. That mindset is what inspired me to create tools that actually help, instead of just adding more pressure. The hardest part of ADHD has never been knowing what to do. It’s starting. Your mind is a storm of to-dos, sudden ideas, worries, guilt, and expectations—all shouting at once. They pile up until even the smallest action feels impossible. So I built Orion: a starship, and you’re the captain. Orion isn’t another rigid to-do list that guilts you when you fall behind. It’s designed around the realities of the ADHD brain. How it works – a gentle, powerful loop Capture: Brain dump everything swirling in your head. No structure required—just get the noise out. Plan: Turn chaos into lightweight task chains that feel manageable. Execute: When decision fatigue hits, Orion picks a random next task for you. One step. That’s it. Momentum starts here. Regulate: An Aid Kit with gentle reminders: “It’s okay to leave.” “It’s okay to fail.” Because shame is the real paralyzer. Permission to quit paradoxically makes it easier to come back and try again. Personalized for you • Bilingual: English & Chinese • Three distinct AI personalities to match your mood • Custom themes and haptic feedback for a calmer, more sensory-friendly experience Exoplanet Survival Mini-Game A playful, fully offline side adventure. Explore a distant planet, make choices, unlock multiple endings. Sometimes you just need a break—and a little fun helps recharge the executive function. Orion isn’t perfect. It’s still growing, just like we are. I could have waited until every feature felt flawless, but if I did, it might never have launched. Imperfect action beats perfect inaction. If Orion can make even one of your days feel lighter, less overwhelming, and a little more hopeful—that’s everything. Welcome aboard, Captain. Your starship is ready when you are.

About

Sortifact

Catalog your collections, beautifully. Sortifact is a modern, private cataloging app for anyone who collects, organizes, or just wants to know what they own. It's built for hobbyists, collectors, and regular humans who are tired of digging through boxes wondering "do I already have one of those?" WHY SORTIFACT? Most inventory apps are either spreadsheets in disguise or full-blown business tools meant for warehouses. Sortifact sits in the sweet spot: powerful enough to track thousands of items, simple enough to use with one hand on the couch. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Create unlimited collections for anything — books, records, coffee makers, camping gear, LEGO sets, jewelry, pens, kitchen tools, plants. One app, endless catalogs. • Snap photos or pull from your library. Every item can have multiple photos, swipeable in the detail view. • Scan barcodes to auto-fill book info. Point your camera at any book's barcode and Sortifact automatically pulls in the title, author, publisher, year, and cover image. Works with records, CDs, and other barcoded media too. • Add custom fields per collection. Tracking pens? Add Brand, Ink Color, Nib Size. Cataloging art? Add Artist, Medium, Dimensions. Every collection can have exactly the fields it needs. • Four layouts. Browse your items as a grid, a list, a big Instagram-style gallery, or a tinder-style swipeable deck. Pick whatever feels right for what you're looking at. • Make every card yours. Long-press any item to customize its background color, text, accent, and shape. Your collection. Your style. • Dark mode, light mode, or system. Plus premium themes that look great on any screen. • Categories, tags, and search. Find that one item in thousands with one search. • Export to CSV. Back up your catalog or move it to a spreadsheet in one tap. PRIVACY FIRST Sortifact doesn't collect any data about you. Your collections live on your device, period. No account, no cloud, no analytics. The only time Sortifact talks to the internet is when you scan a book barcode — and then only the ISBN number is sent to Google Books and Open Library (both free, public APIs). ONE-TIME PURCHASE Sortifact is free to try with up to 3 collections. Everything else is free too — unlimited items, photos, categories, tags, search, export, dark mode, 3 color themes. Sortifact Pro ($6.99, one-time purchase) unlocks: • Unlimited collections • Barcode scanning for books and media • Custom fields per collection • Premium color themes • Custom fonts, card shapes, and text sizes • CSV export No subscription. No ads. No tracking. Ever. PERFECT FOR Book collectors • Record and CD collectors • Board game collectors • Coffee enthusiasts • Pen collectors • Plant parents • Tool organizers • Hobbyists cataloging anything • People documenting their belongings for insurance • Yard sale and estate sale hunters • Anyone who's ever said "I had three of these, where'd they go?" BUILT FOR iOS • Native Swift + SwiftUI • Optimized for iPhone • Works offline (internet only used for barcode lookups) • No account. No email. No login. Just open and start cataloging.
