ADHD is easier with a Buddy. Most to-do apps assume you'll follow through on your own. Steady doesn't. It pairs you with one person you trust — a partner, a roommate, a parent, a friend — and gives both of you a role to play. Steady works with two: the Explorer and the Anchor. Each plays a different part. The Explorer: they're here to get things done. They can add tasks, mark progress, and ask their Anchor to take something on when they're stuck or maxed out. Their role is to stay in charge of what matters, with support close by. The Anchor: they're here to support someone they care about without taking over. They can see what's on their plate, add to it alongside them, send gentle reminders, and take something on when they ask — or when they sense their Explorer could use a hand. Same tasks, different views — each person sees only the actions that make sense for their role. Four moves. That's the whole app. Share: One person — the Explorer — keeps the list. The other — the Anchor — sees it too. It's a shared space. Add: Either of you adds the thing — a task, a follow-up, or that project the Explorer has been meaning to start. Nudge: If something stalls, your Anchor can send a soft check-in — or a "this matters" if it can't wait. It's not a lonely to-do app. Lift: If things stall, the Explorer can ask for help. Or the Anchor can step in with "I'll handle it." They're in this together. Built for how ADHD actually works. Steady is about having someone in your corner. Someone who sees what's on your plate without you having to explain it, and who can step in at the right moment without making it toxic. Just a calm, simple space between two people. Who it's for: — You have ADHD and want gentle accountability from someone you trust — You're the partner, parent, or friend who wants to help — but doesn't know how — You've tried every to-do app and none of them stuck, because the problem was never the app Download Steady. Pick your person. Get things done together. Steady is $4.99/month or $49.99/year (about 17% off), with a 2-week free trial up front. Steady's subscription is tied to your pair, not to individuals. Once one of you subscribes, the other is automatically in. Terms of Use: https://steadypair.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://steadypair.com/privacy

Your brain isn't broken. Your to-do list is. Trusted by 20,000+ professionals — including people on teams at leading companies — to get more done by focusing on one task at a time. Most task apps hand you an endless list and expect you to guess how long any of it takes. If you have ADHD, that guess is the whole problem. Forget works differently. Every task gets a duration. As you add them, Forget adds them up and shows you the one number that actually matters: the time you'll actually finish. PLAN A DAY THAT FITS Give each task a time estimate and watch your finish time move. When the day stops fitting, you find out in the morning instead of at midnight. ONE TASK AT A TIME Start a focus session and everything else gets out of the way. Just the task, a timer, and controls to pause, skip or complete. IT FOLLOWS YOU OUT OF THE APP Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show today's list and your running timer, so you can tick things off without opening the app. Live Activities keep the session in your Dynamic Island, so you can pause or finish from anywhere in iOS. CLOSE THE DAY PROPERLY See what actually happened instead of guessing, with a daily recap and an end-of-day summary that closes the loop. GENTLE NUDGES, NOT NAGGING Optional reminders in the morning, evening and at night. No streaks to break and nothing to feel guilty about. FREE, AND FORGET PRO Free forever: today's task list with create, complete, edit and reorder, plus breaks, repeats, Later, filters and sort, and cloud sync with forget.work. Forget Pro unlocks subtasks, focus mode and timers, plan mode and daily recap, the wrap-day summary, and Home and Lock Screen widgets. Available monthly or yearly, or as a one-time lifetime purchase that covers iOS and the web. Your brain works fine. Give it a to-do list that finally does too. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://app.forget.work/privacy
