You know what you need to do. You just can't make yourself start. The email. The appointment. The project that's been sitting there for two weeks. You've thought about it all day. You've opened it twice. You know it's not hard. You still can't begin. That's not laziness. That's not a character flaw. That's your brain running on a different operating system and it just needs the right signal to initiate, not more willpower. The Initiation App figures out what's actually in the way. The moment you think "I need to do ___" open the app and write it down before your brain loses it. Then The Initiation App takes over. It identifies which specific blocker is stopping you: -The task feels too big to hold in your head -There's no clear first step -It has to be perfect or it doesn't feel worth starting -There's no urgency signal -Your brain can't generate enough pull to begin Then it delivers a targeted intervention designed for exactly that blocker and pairs your task with a dopamine reward matched to your energy level. Not a generic "treat yourself." A specific, low friction signal your brain can actually use. The whole sequence takes under 90 seconds. By the end, you tap "I'm ready — let's go." And you go. No shame. No streaks you can fail. No productivity bro energy. The Initiation App is designed for the moment you're already overwhelmed which means every screen is calm, every interaction is fast, and nothing requires you to already be focused or regulated to use it. Built for ADHD brains. Useful for anyone who knows exactly what they need to do and can't seem to begin. Your data stays yours. No ads. No data selling. Your task descriptions, blocker history, and session data exist to help you not to be monetized. What's included: Free — 3 sessions to try the full experience · No credit card required Base Monthly ($6.99/month) — Unlimited sessions · Dopamine pairing · Full access Base Annual ($59.99/year) — Everything in Base · 2 months free · Best value "I literally cannot make myself start."
