Anchor vs Just Start

Anchor is a calm, local-first companion designed for ADHD brains. It helps you start small, reduce overwhelm, and keep momentum through the day. Set 1-3 Daily Wins, start quick focus timers, and build routines without guilt-heavy streak pressure. Use Focus Cycle sessions (work + rest), save timer presets, and track progress from Live Activities on Lock Screen and Dynamic Island (on supported devices). Track habits, create reminders with repeats and local notifications, and play calming soundscapes (ambient, nature, and noise) with a sleep timer. Feeling stuck? Use Decide for Me to pick from your saved options in one tap. Customize your home dashboard with widgets for timers, habits, reminders, soundscapes, and more. No account required. No cloud sync. No tracking beyond your device. Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase after the 7 day trial. Subscription automatically renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel subscriptions in your App Store account settings.

The task is big. Your first step doesn’t have to be. Just Start helps you begin the task you keep putting off. Describe what feels hard to start, find one small action, and take it into a short focus session. MAKE THE FIRST STEP SMALLER Ask the app’s AI for a concrete first step for your own task. Still feels like too much? Ask for a smaller action. If AI is unavailable, you can write your own step or use the timer directly. START WITH TWO OR FIVE MINUTES Begin a short session without answering a survey. Pause when you need to. Longer focus and break presets are available when you want more time. SUPPORT WHEN YOU WANT IT Choose visual timers and ambient sounds. Pro adds more sound options, mixing, and optional AI check-ins. These check-ins are automated messages, not a live person working beside you. KEEP A LITTLE MOMENTUM See your focus history and progress. Return to a recent task or use a routine for something you do regularly. Optional account sync is available; an account is not required to start. START FREE The free app includes up to three focus sessions and three AI task requests per day, core progress tools, and three ambient sounds. Pro adds unlimited focus sessions and expanded support. AI requires internet access and is subject to service limits. PRIVACY The timer and local progress work offline. When you request AI help, your task and relevant context are sent through our server to our AI provider. Optional account sync sends account and synced app data to our cloud service. Read the privacy policy before sharing sensitive task information.
