Sora vs ADHD Matrix

Sora shows you one number: how many times you've reached for your phone today. No app breakdowns. No usage timers. No limits or blocks. Just a quiet count and a reflection of how you're interacting with your device — whether your pickups are reactive, lingering, or intentional. Three views. One question. How present are you? Presence — Your pickup count, when you last reached for your phone, and a 7-day view of your week. Pattern — How your attention distributes across three states: Reflexive, Lingering, and Decisive. You can see how your mornings differ from your evenings. Practice — A single, calm prompt that changes with the time of day and your current pattern. Not a goal. Not a score. Just a thought worth sitting with. Your data never leaves your device. Sora uses Apple's Screen Time framework to read your interaction data directly on-device. Nothing is stored, uploaded, or shared. The data stays inside the system render pipeline — it doesn't even reach the app. No accounts. No subscriptions. No notifications.

I made this for myself. I have ADHD, and one long to-do list just freezes me. I can't tell what's actually on fire and what can wait, so I end up doing nothing. So I built the thing I needed, and figured some of you might need it too. Here's how it works. You write a task down before it leaves your head, then you put it in one of four buckets: - Do Now - Plan - Handle Soon - Later Four buckets. Not twenty lists, not folders inside folders. Just four places for a thing to go. What's in it: - Quick capture, so writing a task down isn't its own little chore - An Inbox for everything you haven't sorted yet - Recurring tasks: Daily, Weekdays, Weekly, or Monthly. You can also type a tag like @daily when you capture - Drag tasks into the order you want in Inbox and the Matrix - A Completed list, so finished stuff goes somewhere instead of staring at you - Siri and App Shortcuts, if you'd rather just say it out loud - Home Screen widgets, so your matrix stays visible without opening anything - Five curated color themes plus one custom palette. Curated themes stay contrast-checked in light and dark; a custom palette can keep the colors you pick even when contrast is low - Rename the four buckets to whatever your brain actually calls them - Optional private iCloud sync, so your tasks can show up on your iPhone and iPad - German, Spanish, Italian, and Simplified Chinese, with English as the fallback About your data: it lives on your device. You don't make an account, you don't sign in, and I don't run analytics or hand your stuff to anyone. The sync is your own iCloud, between your own Apple devices. It's free. No subscription, no ads. iPhone and iPad, iOS 18 and up. One honest note: this won't fix your brain, and I'd be lying if I said it would. It's just a small, quiet place to put your tasks that didn't make me feel worse to use. I built it by myself, around how my own brain actually works. That was the whole goal.
