Most planners fail ADHD brains. Cadencia is built for how yours actually works. Plan your day visually, capture tasks in seconds, and see exactly what fits, without the usual overwhelm. If you've tried ten planners and quit all of them, it wasn't you. The problem with most planners: Most productivity apps were designed for neurotypical brains. They assume you can estimate how long things take. They assume tasks won't pile up invisibly. They assume a to-do list is enough. If you have ADHD, you already know none of that is true. The solution: Cadencia works with time perception, not against it. See your entire day on a visual timeline. Capture tasks the moment they appear in your brain, before they disappear. Features: • Visual daily timeline: see your time as a shape, not a list • Instant task capture: add tasks in seconds, sort them later • Time block planning: assign tasks to real time slots, not wishful thinking • Clean, distraction-free interface: nothing to overwhelm you when you open the app Cadencia Pro: For the features your brain actually needs to see the full picture: • Weekly view: your entire week on one screen • Monthly view: spot patterns, plan ahead • Unlimited projects: no cap on what you're managing • Accent palettes: make it feel like yours • Calendar sync, task breakdown engine, and energy tracker: coming soon And many more features to build your best life! No free trial. No "remember to cancel." Just a subscription you choose, or don't. Download free. Upgrade when you're ready. Who it's for: Cadencia was built for ADHD brains, time-blind brains, and anyone who's ever planned a productive day and then watched it collapse. If you're neurodivergent or just someone who thinks visually, this is the daily planner that fits.

checkl is the checklist app that actually makes sure things get done. Add optional AI visual validation to any checklist item. Snap a photo of the stove, the front door, or the lights — and AI confirms it's actually off, locked, or done. Every verification is timestamped and logged so you have proof you can look back on. No more second-guessing whether you turned off the stove or locked the door when leaving home. SMART SCHEDULES Three schedule types built for real life: • One-time: check items off and archive when done. Perfect for projects, packing lists, or errands. • Recurring: auto-resets daily, weekly, or on a custom schedule. Your morning routine is ready every single day. • Deadline: countdown to a date you set. Auto-archives when it passes. AI VISUAL VALIDATION Only in checkl. Point your camera at any item and AI validates it against your rules. Stove off? Door locked? Windows closed? Get a green checkmark with a confidence score, timestamped and saved.
