Steady
Read full descriptionHide full description
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 ā a partner, a roommate, a parent, a friend ā 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 ā or when they sense their Explorer could use a hand. Same tasks, different views ā each person sees only the actions that make sense for their role. Four moves. That's the whole app. Share: One person ā the Explorer ā keeps the list. The other ā the Anchor ā sees it too. It's a shared space. Add: Either of you adds the thing ā 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 ā 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: ā You have ADHD and want gentle accountability from someone you trust ā You're the partner, parent, or friend who wants to help ā but doesn't know how ā 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.

Clear what's been hanging over you. One thing at a time. Beginli helps you turn avoided tasks into tiny, doable steps ā so you can start with less pressure, keep going, and close the loop. Sometimes the hardest part is not doing the task. It is holding the whole messy thing in your head. Beginli helps you make it smaller. Tell Loopi, your gentle task companion, what you've been avoiding. Beginli's AI breaks it into clear, specific steps you can actually start ā like opening the document, putting one cup in the sink, or finding the phone number for that appointment. Type it however it comes out ā "gym tomorrow at 7" files itself on the right day and time, and "stretch every other day at 11" sets the repeat for you. Not sure where to begin? Pick from over 100 ready-made templates and skip straight to your first step. Then sit down with it. The Focus tab is a timer with background music ā lo-fi, ambient, beats, chill, or synthwave ā plus a Pomodoro mode for when work and breaks should take turns. The countdown stays on your Lock Screen, so you can put the phone face down and still know where you are. Carrying a whole day in your head? Dump it out in one go and Beginli sorts it into separate tasks at sensible times ā yours to edit before anything is saved. Anything worth coming back to can repeat ā daily, weekdays, or your own rhythm ā and any task can carry a goal: 25 minutes, 8 glasses, 10 pages. Miss a day and nothing breaks. There is no streak to lose. No giant planner. No punishing streaks. No shame when you come back. Just one thing, made lighter. One thing at a time is always free. Break it down, start the timer, close the loop ā then start something else, free again. Beginli Plus lifts the one-at-a-time limit whenever you're ready. What Beginli helps with: ⢠Breaking overwhelming tasks into tiny steps with AI ⢠Turning a whole day of scattered thoughts into tasks ⢠Starting tasks when you feel stuck ⢠Making vague tasks feel clear ⢠Focusing with a timer, background music, and Pomodoro ⢠Repeating anything that should come back, with a goal to aim at ⢠Sorting your day into morning, day, evening, and anytime ⢠Coming back after losing momentum ⢠Clearing chores, admin, messages, work, study, and personal tasks ⢠Keeping your current step on the Lock Screen, so you can pick up right where you left off ⢠12 short lessons on starting, avoidance, and rest ⢠Collecting gentle rewards that never punish a missed day ⢠Marking tasks "done enough" when perfection is not needed How it works: 1. Name one thing that's been hanging over you 2. Beginli turns it into small, doable steps 3. Start with the first tiny step 4. Keep going or mark it done enough 5. Close the loop and feel lighter Built for stuck, scattered, low-energy days. Beginli is useful for procrastination, ADHD-style task initiation challenges, executive dysfunction, overwhelm, and everyday tasks that feel too big to start. Beginli is a productivity tool, not a medical or mental-health treatment. It does not diagnose, treat, or prevent ADHD or any medical condition.
