There are a lot of focus apps. Kynd is the one that meets your brain where it is. Most productivity apps assume your tank is full. They schedule deep work right after a draining meeting, punish you with a broken streak for one missed day, and ask you to decide what to do next at the exact moment your executive function is offline. That doesn't help an ADHD brain. Kynd runs on one idea: the smallest physical next step is everything. Open Kynd and your next small step is right there, with Start, Done, and Not today on the card. No setup first. Energy, if you want it. Tell Kynd high, medium, or low and Today re-sorts: big tasks when you're up for them, small wins when you're not. Capture before you lose the thought. One box: speak or type, then save it for later or let on-device AI suggest a first move you can finish in two minutes. When / Then for the stuff that always slips. Pair a moment ("when I sit down with coffee") with an action ("I'll open the doc"). Focus that doesn't punish you. 2 min, 25 min, or no timer, with a visual time disk so time stops being abstract. When a session ends, take a break, add five minutes, or start the next one. Feel the time pass. Optional gentle pulses every 5, 10, or 15 minutes, so time keeps moving while your eyes are on the work. Rebuild from now. When the list is bigger than what's left of your day, keep what fits and move the rest to tomorrow. Not today. Snooze a task and it comes back like it never left. Worked on something without finishing? That counts too. Can't choose? Pick for me. No streaks. A missed day resets nothing. The next start is the only thing that counts. Plain words and buttons that say what they do. Calm mode, light or dark, gentle haptics, and banners you can act on without opening the app. On iPad and iPhone Duo, Today, Focus, and Capture spread into two columns. Routines, an inbox, an evening shutdown, widgets, Siri, and an Apple Watch app with Start and Done are included, no subscription needed. Kynd Premium - Break it down: turn any task into three to seven concrete steps, sized by how hard it feels. Steps stay linked, so finishing them adds up. (Needs an iPhone with Apple Intelligence.) - Brain dump: talk as long as you need, then Kynd sorts it into separate tasks, each with a first move, for you to keep or drop. - Bigger brain, optional: send hard tasks to Apple's Private Cloud Compute, designed so nobody, including Apple, can read what's sent. Off by default. Needs iOS 27. - Focus shield: distracting apps behind a one-tap liftable shield that shows your own task, never a scold. - Drop-in audio coworking rooms and scheduled sessions, 500 minutes a month. - 10 CBT-for-ADHD lessons; the first is free. - Recurring tasks, including every other week, quarterly, and "not before" a time you choose. - Per-task timers, guided routine run-throughs with spoken prompts, and 4 more soundscapes. - Apple Health energy hints, calendar context on Today, and iCloud sync. Kynd is local-first. Your tasks live on your device and sync only through your own iCloud if you turn it on. AI runs on your iPhone unless you choose Private Cloud Compute. No analytics. Your tasks never touch a Kynd server; the only one handles coworking room passes and minutes. KYND PREMIUM (auto-renewing subscription) Monthly: $4.99. Annual: $29.99, including a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at purchase confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.
