To Do-ish helps you do the small things. On the days when small feels impossible. Built by a neurodivergent and chronically ill occupational therapist. Informed by lived experience. You're not lazy. You're exhausted. There's a difference. Most apps assume you have the capacity to plan and start. To Do-ish was built for the hard days. WHY IT’S DIFFERENT Most apps split a task into smaller pieces. To Do-ish changes the task itself. Using the same principles occupational therapists use, it modifies and builds in rest based on your energy and your situation, so you can actually finish. TELL US HOW YOU'RE DOING TODAY Not how you're supposed to feel. How you actually feel right now. To Do-ish asks what capacity you have, and shapes everything around that answer. Low energy gets gentler steps and more rest built in. MEET QUIET Block your most distracting apps and websites while you focus. The feature turns on when your session starts and lifts the moment you're done, and your choices stay on your device. HELP ME START Say what you need to do. To Do-ish breaks it into one step at a time, sized for the energy you have. A smaller version done is better than the perfect version you never start. TALK IT OUT Brain Dump understands your long lists, voice, and photos too. FOCUS WITH ME A quiet presence while you work. No scheduling, no camera, no live person to feel awkward around. It checks in, offers breaks before you ask, and never tells you you're behind. BREAK Short, body-based pauses you can reach any time. Designed to help you keep going, not to interrupt you. STOP WHENEVER YOU NEED TO The app waits. No reminders that you fell behind. Pick up exactly where you left off. WHAT YOU WON'T FIND HERE No gamification. No completion percentages. No badges. Rest and stopping early are part of the design. WHO IT'S FOR Anyone whose daily life is harder than it should be: people living with chronic illness, long COVID, depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism, or burnout, and caregivers carrying too much. Made for the hours between appointments, when you know what to do and still can’t start. DISCLAIMER To Do-ish does not diagnose, treat, or manage any medical or mental health condition. It is a daily support tool for task execution. It is not a planner, not a to-do list, and not a substitute for therapy or medical care. SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION To Do-ish Unlimited is available as a monthly or annual auto-renewing subscription. Your subscription may include a free trial. After any free trial, your subscription will automatically renew at the selected price unless canceled at least 24 hours before the trial or current subscription period ends.

Task paralysis isn't laziness. Time blindness isn't carelessness. Kickstart is the ADHD app that gets you *started* — 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 • Unstick Me — splits any task into tiny steps; step 1 always takes 2 minutes or less. Runs on your device, works offline • Launch Pad — ONE next action, not a guilt list • Visible time — shrinking radial timers, Live Activities, widgets, Apple Watch • Body Double Rooms — silent live co-working, zero chat pressure • Bendy streaks — miss a day, the vine bends; it never breaks • Brain Dump — add anything in under 3 seconds from anywhere, sort never • Start Ritual — a 20-second runway from intention to action • Routines that compress when you're running late, and say so plainly • Wins, not shame — 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 — 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.
