Gentle Productivity is a task manager designed for ADHD, autism, and neurodivergent minds - but it works beautifully for anyone who feels overwhelmed by traditional to-do apps. ONE TASK AT A TIME See just one task on your Focus screen. No endless lists, no anxiety-inducing badge counts. Complete it, snooze it for later, or break it into smaller steps. You decide. AI-POWERED TASK CHUNKING Tap "This feels too big" and AI instantly breaks your task into 2-8 manageable steps. Work through them one at a time with a visual stepper that shows your progress. BRAIN DUMP & CLARITY BOARD When your mind is racing, dump everything out - type, speak, snap a photo, or import a document. Our AI Clarity Board sorts your thoughts into tasks, ideas, worries, and things already done. Resolve each card one by one, or batch-accept the rest. CAPTURE IN SECONDS Type a task or hold to speak. On-device voice transcription means your words become tasks instantly - even offline. Share text from any app directly into Brain Dump. GENTLE NOTIFICATIONS Kind reminders that respect your quiet hours. Never demanding, never guilt-inducing. Snooze anything with zero shame - "No problem, it'll be here when you're ready." TWO MODES, YOUR CHOICE • Gentle Mode - No deadlines, no time pressure. Tasks flow at your pace. • Planner Mode - Add due dates and time estimates when you want structure. Smart scheduling avoids conflicts and respects your rest hours. CELEBRATIONS, NOT GUILT Every completed task triggers a celebration. Track your streaks and wins.
