Tired of holding it all in your head? Mindrop is a voice-first to-do app for brains that don't run on neat columns. Tap, speak whatever's swirling around, and AI turns it into clean tasks — with dates, times, and priorities already filled in. ā–  Speak it. Mindrop sorts it. Dump everything at once: "dentist tomorrow at 3, slides by Thursday, milk on the way home." Mindrop splits that into three tasks, sets the times, and lines them up for you. ā–  Built for ADHD and HSP minds Some days, writing things down takes energy you don't have. Mindrop won't shame you for that. Talk out loud — your thoughts are now somewhere safe. That's enough. ā–  Key features - Tap-and-speak recording - AI extracts dates, times, and priority - Multi-task brain dumps split automatically - Subtask suggestions - Smart notifications and reminders - Apple Watch app (record straight from your wrist) - iPhone and iPad support - Dark and light themes ā–  Manual to-dos stay free Typing tasks the old way is, and always will be, free. Upgrade to Mindrop Pro for unlimited voice recordings and automatic grouping of related tasks. ā–  Privacy Your audio is used to build the task and then it's done. No ad tracking, no profile selling. You don't need a perfect productivity system. You need one that survives the days when nothing else does. Mindrop is built to be the lightest possible friction between a thought and a task. --- Terms of Use (EULA): https://minddrop-legal.pages.dev/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://minddrop-legal.pages.dev/privacy/ MindDrop offers auto-renewing subscriptions (MindDrop Pro Monthly and Yearly).

Activity Scheduler

Read full description

Activity Scheduler: FocusFlow is a visual activity scheduler and ADHD planner for days when a long to-do list only adds pressure. Empty your head first, then turn the noise into a day you can actually start, with a Pomodoro timer for the task in front of you. Give every task a start time and a duration. The activity scheduler lays your day out on a timeline, reminds you before each task begins and warns you before the day overflows. When it is time to work, the Pomodoro timer starts from the task you picked, so you do not have to decide again. WHAT THE ACTIVITY SCHEDULER DOES • Brain dump first, sort later: the ADHD planner keeps one clear next step • Visual time blocks instead of an endless list • Reminders before each task starts • Import Apple Reminders and calendar events • Recurring tasks for daily, weekday and weekly routines • Pomodoro timer with 25/5 sessions, a 15-minute soft start and Live Activity on the Lock Screen • Focus minutes, completed tasks, daily load and streaks • Home Screen widget and Siri shortcuts A GENTLER WAY TO KEEP GOING A small sprout grows with every focus session, and a gentle streak counts the days you showed up. At the end of the day, you decide what moves to tomorrow, without guilt. That is how an ADHD planner should feel. FocusFlow Pro adds unlimited tasks per day, AI planning that builds and replans your day, Deep Work and Study presets for the focus timer, and deeper reviews. Your plan stays on your device, with optional iCloud backup and no account. Less pressure than a to-do list, more structure than a blank page: an activity scheduler you will actually open tomorrow. Activity Scheduler: FocusFlow is a productivity tool, not a medical or diagnostic app. Privacy Policy: https://solvalex.com/en/legal/apps/privacy-policy Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
