Stuck helps you notice where your energy is and pick a tool for it. Check in with how you're feeling: under-stimulated, balanced, or over-stimulated. Get specific about your state. Then pick from tools matched to that state. The toolkit adapts to your energy level. When your energy is low, try a grounding exercise or some gentle movement, or take a moment to drink some water. When it's high, try a breathing exercise or a sensory cooldown, set a stop alarm, or set a boundary for a task. When you feel balanced, start a focus timer or track a session. More tools for when you need them: - Write a thought down and get AI suggestions for other ways to see it - Break down overwhelming to-dos with AI - Get coaching prompts matched to your state - Track your energy patterns over time - Vent or write in your journal Stuck is for the days your brain won't start on command. There are no streaks or points to keep up. Stuck sends at most one check-in reminder a day, at a time you pick, and you can turn it off in Profile. Stuck is not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition, and it is not a substitute for professional care. --- STUCK PRO --- Stuck is free to use. Stuck Pro adds: - 30 AI reframes and 30 AI breakdowns a day - Up to 10 AI coaching insights a week - Weekly pattern cards from your check-ins - Brain dump to tasks with AI - Your last 30 check-in notes Stuck Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, monthly or yearly.

Your best ideas vanish the second you reach for a notes app. Squirrel catches every thought - just talk, tap, done. The second brain finally built for ADHD. Your brain isn't broken.

Made by an ADHD brain, for ADHD brains. CAPTURE EVERYTHING (before it's gone) Brain dump in a tap - text or voice, like texting yourself Voice notes with instant transcription - no typing, no losing the thought Turn any thought into a to-do - your junk drawer becomes your plan NEVER FORGET (out of sight, out of mind - solved) Key dates become to-dos automatically - bills, birthdays, appointments land on your list the day they're due Reminders that actually reach you - and sync to Apple Calendar Squirrel buries the date and digs it up for you - so you don't have to remember SEE YOUR TIME (built for time blindness) The day in four simple quarters, with a countdown you can win A focus timer that quiets the other 99 tabs - one task, just start Body-doubling focus mode that keeps you company while you work KEEP MOMENTUM (gently) Track habits your way - tap to mark, glance to know Streaks and wins that celebrate you - never guilt you See your day fill up, one small done at a time MADE FOR YOU IF… • Your thoughts disappear before you can write them down • You're somehow always late, even when you "left on time" • Your to-do list just gets longer and you never get THROUGH it • You forget appointments even when you genuinely care • Normal productivity apps make you feel like a failure Squirrel is your external memory - the place to put everything so your brain doesn't have to hold it.
