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

Beat time blindness and task paralysis with AuraPlan, the visual daily planner built for ADHD, autistic, and neurodivergent minds. Say your goal out loud, watch a giant countdown ring tick down, and finally see your day. WHY AURAPLAN IS DIFFERENT Most planners hand you a blank grid and blame you when it stays empty. AuraPlan starts with your energy and your words. A friendly AI copilot turns "clean the kitchen" or "study for finals" into small, timed steps with icons and pastel colors. A ring-shaped visual timer shrinks in real time, so five minutes actually feels like five minutes. BUILT FOR NEURODIVERGENT BRAINS - Visual countdown ring, not a shrinking bar of guilt - Pastel palette designed to prevent sensory overload - Every tap answers with gentle haptic feedback - VoiceOver, Dynamic Type and high-contrast Dark Mode - No streaks, no shaming, no red numbers everywhere WHAT YOU CAN DO 1. AI COPILOT โ Type or speak a fuzzy intent. Aura returns a step-by-step routine you can drop into today with one tap. 2. VISUAL TIMELINE โ See the whole day as color blocks. Long-press and drag to reshape it in seconds. 3. FOCUS TIMER โ A ring so big you can read it from across the room. Overrun turns soft red instead of stopping you dead. 4. ROUTINES LIBRARY โ Save "Morning Launch", "Deep Work" or "Wind Down" once, apply forever. 5. ENERGY-AWARE PLANNING โ Tap Low Energy and AuraPlan quietly moves your hardest tasks to tomorrow. 6. INSIGHTS โ Weekly focus time, completion rate and energy patterns, without judgment. WHO IT HELPS - Adults and teens with ADHD or executive dysfunction - Autistic users who thrive on predictable routines - Students juggling classes, jobs and side quests - Remote workers, writers and creators fighting context-switching - Anyone who has ever stared at a to-do list and justโฆ frozen PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your day is your business. AuraPlan works fully offline in Anonymous Mode โ no account required to try the core loop. Sync uses strong TLS, and only anonymized event names leave your device. GDPR and CCPA supported, with one-tap export and deletion. FREE VS PRO Free forever: visual timeline, up to three routines, core focus timer.
