Startiny vs Pirates

For brains that freeze when the task is too big. Most to-do apps were built for people whose brains pick up big tasks and just...start. ADHD brains often can't. Working memory leaks. Time feels fuzzy. "File my taxes" stays on the list for six months because nobody knows what step one is. Startiny is the to-do app built for the way ADHD brains actually work. KEY FEATURES AI Task Breakdown Paste a brain dump. Get 5-7 clear, manageable steps (10-30 minutes each), automatically. The "where do I start?" moment, gone. You don't plan the work. You start step 1. Smarter Time Estimates Generic productivity apps assume your brain works like the engineer who built them. Startiny watches your real completions and quietly recalibrates the estimates over time. "30 min" that always took you 90 stops saying 30. Flexible Streaks Bad day? Tap a chip ("hard day", "life stuff", "forgot to open") and your streak adapts. No harsh resets, no guilt wall. ADHD brains don't need a reminder they failed; they need a path back. Built for Real Life Quick capture, voice input, home-screen widgets, lock-screen Live Activity for active timers. Designed for people who rely on their phone to capture ideas the moment they appear. WHY STARTINY Built by a solo developer with ADHD, for his own brain first. Every feature exists because something else didn't work. Traditional task apps assume perfect consistency. Startiny is built for real-world focus, helping you start, continue, and finish tasks without overwhelm. AVAILABILITY Currently in beta and free to use. A subscription ($6.99/month) is planned after full release. DISCLAIMER Startiny is a productivity tool and not a medical device. It does not provide diagnosis, treatment, or medical advice. For mental health concerns, please consult a qualified professional.
