About

ADH

Read full description

You know what to do. You just can't start. ADH-Do is a task initiation app built specifically for ADHD brains. Not another to-do list. Not a productivity system. A tool for the exact moment you're staring at your tasks and absolutely nothing is happening. How it works Tell ADH-Do how your brain is today, soup, okay, functional, or great. It matches you with tasks your brain can actually handle right now. Then it picks one and tells you to go. No negotiating. No scrolling. No 40 minutes of "organising" that is actually avoidance. Built-in initiation methods - Dice roll --- let chance make the call - Random task --- one task, picked for you - The 5-min lie --- tell your brain it's only 5 minutes - Pick from a short list --- a curated handful, not the whole pile - Guided list --- a pre-filtered set matched to your brain state No shame mechanics. No streaks to break. No "you haven't opened the app in 3 days" guilt notifications. No score that resets when life happens. ADH-Do has an off-day mode and a "couldn't do it" exit, because sometimes that's just how it goes, and that's okay. Your tasks, your way. Start with 115 built-in tasks across 13 categories, or add your own. Pause anything that's not relevant right now. Set reminders that actually fit how you live. Customise rewards -- sounds, visuals, affirmations -- or turn them all off. Built by someone with ADHD, for people who've already tried everything else. Free to download. No account required. Your data stays on your device.
