About

ADDMind

Features

Your brain works differently -- that's not a bug, it's a feature. ADDMind is the task manager that finally gets how your mind works. Built by someone with ADHD, for people with ADHD, it turns the chaos in your head into calm, doable steps -- without the guilt, the grind, or the "just try harder" advice nobody asked for. --- BRAIN DUMP --- Got 47 thoughts fighting for attention? Open Brain Dump and let them all out. Type, ramble, repeat yourself -- ADDMind doesn't judge. Our AI gently organizes the mess into clear, actionable items so you don't have to. No formatting required. No structure expected. Just you, unfiltered. --- MICRO-STEPPER --- Big tasks are the enemy of getting started. ADDMind breaks every task into the smallest possible next step -- so small it feels almost silly not to do it. "Write the report" becomes "Open the document." Then "Write one sentence." Then "Read it back." Before you know it, you've built momentum. --- ENERGY BATTERY --- Not every hour is created equal. ADDMind's Energy Battery lets you check in with how you're actually feeling -- mentally, physically, emotionally -- and suggests tasks that match your current capacity. Low energy? It surfaces the easy wins. Feeling sharp? It queues up the deep work. No more forcing yourself through tasks your brain isn't ready for. --- HYPERFOCUS MODE --- When you're in the zone, ADDMind protects it. Hyperfocus Mode clears everything away and keeps you locked on one task with a gentle timer. No distractions, no notifications, no "you should also be doing this." Just you and the thing in front of you. --- THE "I'M OVERWHELMED" BUTTON --- Some days, everything is too much. Instead of pretending that's not real, ADDMind gives you a single button that says "I'm overwhelmed." Tap it, and the app strips away everything except one small, kind suggestion. It meets you where you are -- not where a productivity app thinks you should be. --- SHAME-FREE DESIGN --- There are no streaks to break. No red alerts for overdue tasks. No passive-aggressive reminders. ADDMind celebrates what you did, not what you didn't. Missed a day? Welcome back -- here's where you left off. Every interaction is designed to lower the emotional cost of getting started. --- WORKS WITH YOUR LIFE --- True two-way sync with Apple Calendar and Reminders -- tasks flow in both directions, automatically. Interactive home-screen widgets, Live Activities on your lock screen during focus sessions, and Siri shortcuts ("Start a brain dump") meet you where you already are. Most of the app works offline. And you can use everything without creating an account -- your data stays on your device until you decide otherwise. --- WHY WE BUILT THIS --- Every productivity app seemed to assume a neurotypical brain -- one that prioritizes effortlessly, estimates time accurately, and just "starts." We built ADDMind because we needed it ourselves: a tool that works with the ADHD brain instead of against it. Your feedback shapes what comes next. Welcome to ADDMind. Your brain, in flow. --- ADDMIND PRO (OPTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION) --- The free tier is a real app, not a demo: 3 brain dumps a day, the Micro-Stepper, Energy Battery, Hyperfocus Mode, calendar sync, and the "I'm overwhelmed" button are all included, forever. ADDMind Pro unlocks unlimited brain dumps, recursive micro-step breakdowns, full focus-session history, and personal voice affirmations. Available as an auto-renewable subscription: Pro Monthly ($7.99/month, with a $0.99/month introductory price for the first 3 months for new subscribers) or Pro Annual ($59.99/year). Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Privacy Policy: https://www.addmind.app/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.addmind.app/terms
