ADH
Read full descriptionHide 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.

Starting is the hard part. Sidle starts with you. Sidle is an instant body-doubling companion for tasks that feel difficult to begin. No booking, camera or waiting room. Open the app when the moment to start appears, name the task, and Sid is already beside you. Type the thing you have been circling. Sid acknowledges it, asks for one physical first move, and then goes quiet while you work. You get a calm presence, a timer on your Lock Screen, and a session that still counts if you step away. FREE - Unlimited silent body-doubling sessions - Gentle, Steady, Quiet and Wry companion styles - Weekly on-device language variations - On-device Moments that keep your completed sessions together - No account or sign-up SIDLE PRO - A user-written βFor next timeβ move, kept only on this phone and ready at the next start - An on-device mid-session hello with optional voice, plus an optional background notification - For adults who separately consent: a short optional AI co-start that asks you to name one physical first move - One visible, clearable note from the latest eligible AI session, kept with this device's anonymous profile BUILT WITHOUT SHAME MECHANICS - No daily chain to protect - No red badge or guilt copy - No mid-session upsell - No camera and no person waiting for you Step away and the elapsed time still counts. Return after a gap and Sid simply meets you where you are. The free loop works without an account. Sidle's provider-backed Pro AI is for adults 18 or older. Pro session text is sent only after adult confirmation and a clear AI-consent step so Sid can generate the co-start and, after an eligible session, replace the brief note kept for the next Pro start. Profiles and notes are device-scoped; Sidle does not provide cross-device memory sync. Sid is an AI companion, not a person or professional service, and Sidle is not a medical or therapeutic product. The App Store shows the price, billing period and any introductory offer available for your storefront and Apple Account before you confirm a purchase. Introductory offers appear only when Apple reports that you are eligible. Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled in Apple Account settings. A one-time lifetime option may also be available. Optional provider-backed AI has fair-use limits; the paywall keeps those details in a separate disclosure and explains that on-device Pro continues if AI replies pause.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ADH at none against Sidle's 3. ADH also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price there is nothing between them.
