Second Brain
Read full descriptionHide full description
The first ADHD app that comes ready to use - no setup, no configuration, no building from scratch. Every productivity app expects you to design the system yourself. By the time you're done setting up, you've already lost momentum. Second Brain flips that. Open the app and you'll find a library of 20+ real-life tasks - paying bills, refilling prescriptions, scheduling appointments, doing laundry, filing taxes - each broken into small, clear steps you can follow one at a time. DAILY ROUTINES Install a Morning Routine, Evening Wind-Down, or Sunday Reset and get guided through your day one card at a time. Customize them or build your own. CHECK-INS Gentle prompts throughout the day. Feeling off track? Tap into a recovery flow and reset without judgment. HANDS-FREE MODE Tasks are read aloud as you go - perfect for mornings when your phone is across the room. SMART DEFAULTS Recurring tasks regenerate automatically. Tasks surface when they're due - not before. Your most recent task stays at the top. Less clutter, less thinking. No account. No cloud. No subscription. Your data stays on your device. Built for the ADHD brain that wants a second brain - without having to build one.

FOCUSED PRACTICE - Create drills with a purpose, cue, duration, and repetition target. - Run timed blocks with pause, resume, and finish controls. - Record actual time, repetitions, focus, outcome, and notes. ADAPTIVE REVIEW - See exactly which drills are due. - Rate recall as Repeat Soon, Held, or Effortless. - Use a transparent SM-2-style schedule that returns difficult material sooner. USEFUL HISTORY - Review 14-day or 30-day practice volume. - Compare minutes by discipline and session outcome. - Track optional weekly minute and session targets. - Search and filter the complete drill library. PORTABLE AND PRIVATE - Export a complete JSON archive and restore it later. - Share a factual text summary when you choose. - Keep drills, sessions, targets, and review dates on your device. - No sign-in, ads, analytics, tracking, or subscription.
