Your energy is finite. Plan accordingly. Boostive is a new kind of daily planner built around one simple truth: your energy matters more than your time. Instead of cramming tasks into hours, Boostive lets you assign energy points to each task — so you can see exactly how much you can handle before you hit your limit. ⏺ How It Works Set your daily energy capacity, then add tasks with energy costs. Boostive's live energy gauge shows your remaining capacity in real time — blue when you're comfortable, orange when you're getting low, and red when you're pushing too hard. It's burnout prevention, built right into your planner. ⏺ Key Features - Energy Gauge — Visual indicator that tracks your daily energy in real time - Smart Priority — Tasks are automatically prioritized based on their energy cost - Dual View — Switch between list view and category view to organize your way - Calendar — Monthly overview with per-day energy and task summaries - Statistics — Weekly and monthly insights on energy usage, completion rates, and trends - Categories — Create custom categories with colors and icons - 8 Themes — From Calm Blue to Midnight dark mode, pick the look that suits you - Cloud Sync — Sign in to back up your data and sync across devices - Notifications — Set reminders so you never miss an important task - Bilingual — Full English and Korean support ⏺ Why Energy, Not Time? Traditional planners treat every hour the same. But a meeting at 9am and a creative session at 4pm drain you differently. Boostive recognizes this. By tracking energy instead of just time, you build a schedule that's honest about what you can actually accomplish. ⏺ Your Data, Your Control Use Boostive offline with local storage, or sign in to sync across devices via secure cloud backup. Smart conflict resolution ensures your data is never lost. Start planning smarter.

WHAT KIND OF PENGUIN ARE YOU? Some of us need a long warm-up. Some of us only move when the deadline is breathing down our neck. Some of us start five things at once. None of that is wrong. It is just your type. Answer a few questions and meet your very own penguin. There are ten of them — the Diesel Penguin, the Clutch Penguin, the Side-Quest Penguin, the Out-of-Sight Penguin, and more. Then Waddle settles in around your type. Every routine is shaped the way that works best for your type, and reminders are suggested for the time that suits you. Got your type? Send the card to your friends — and do it together! WHEN STARTING FEELS IMPOSSIBLE Starting something is daunting. You have lost count of the times you never started at all, simply because you did not know where or how to begin. Tell Waddle what you have to do, in one sentence. Waddle gently builds the routine for you — shaped for your type. Sometimes there is just too much of it. When that happens, go WAAAH and pour all of it onto Waddle. Waddle will sort your thoughts out, together with you. DRESS UP YOUR PENGUIN Your penguin friend is cold right now (it is not wearing anything at all). Finish missions and you can put clothes on it, buy it gloves, tie a scarf around its neck. However you dress it, that is how it comes with you everywhere — including when you go and meet your friends. SHOW WHAT YOU GOT DONE Share what you finished — you and your own penguin, with your friends. What people with ADHD get done deserves respect, and deserves to be shown. Focus is hard, and you did it anyway — that makes it bigger. And if you like a friend's routine, they can hand it straight to you. NO STREAKS. JUST COMEBACKS. Away for a few days? That is completely okay. Waddle will never punish you, and will never show you a broken streak. Honestly, those things are just stressful. Waddle will simply be glad to see you again — it may even have caught you a fish while you were away. Starting again is worth celebrating. Never be embarrassed about coming back. We are celebrating your comeback! BODY DOUBLING, WITHOUT THE CAMERA Let's body double together — unwashed, with your penguin friend out front. Body doubling builds an environment where you can actually focus. But getting there was always so much work. You had to wash your face just to turn the camera on, and there were limits on who you could do it with and where. So we do it with penguins instead. The penguin you dressed yourself stands in front of the screen for you. And there is one more fun thing: the routine you made yourself, you can run it together with a friend! MADE TO FEEL FAMILIAR TO AN ADHD BRAIN - You never have to set anything up. Nothing complicated, not one screen of it - A penguin that speaks to you gently — leave the commands and the guilt with the other apps! - A calm penguin friend you can share with friends - Simple, low-clutter screens designed to reduce overwhelm FREE TO USE Waddle is free. Build your routines, run your timers, and celebrate your comebacks without a subscription. Whether you are building a morning routine, an evening wind-down, a study block, or a reset day, Waddle helps you take your small step. One waddle at a time.
