Your brain deserves emotional support, not another task list. The emotional side of ADHD finally has an app. No streaks. No guilt. Just calm. Zelmwell is the app finally built for the emotional side of ADHD. When your brain turns against you, Zelmwell is the tool that meets you there. WHAT MAKES ZELMWELL DIFFERENT Every ADHD app on the market targets productivity. Timers, task lists, focus sessions. But the ADHD community consistently says the emotional side of ADHD is harder to live with than the attention challenges. One critical remark. A text that goes unanswered. A look from across the room. And suddenly your nervous system is in freefall. Most apps were not built for that moment. Zelmwell was. WHAT YOU CAN DO IN ZELMWELL Log RSD episodes in seconds One tap to capture what triggered it, how intense it felt, what your body was doing, and what helped. Over time, patterns emerge that you could not see in the storm. Challenge the thoughts making it worse Evidence-based thought-challenging tools designed specifically for ADHD emotional patterns. These are structured exercises that help your brain find the exit when it cannot find one on its own. Breathe through it The breathing orb greets you the moment you open the app. A guided 4-4-6 breath cycle that starts supporting your nervous system before you do anything else. Find calm in Calm Space Ambient soundscapes synthesized to create genuine sensory calm. Rain, ocean, fireplace, thunderstorm, wind, and night sounds, all individually mixable with their own volume controls. Understand your patterns A dashboard that shows your trigger clusters, time-of-day patterns, sensation frequency, and improvement trends. For the first time, you can see your emotional life from the outside. Export for your therapist Bring structured RSD episode summaries to your next session. Show your therapist what your brain has been doing between appointments. DESIGNED WITHOUT GUILT No streaks. No reminders shaming you for not logging. No productivity framing. No toxic positivity. Zelmwell is built around one principle: validation first, tools second. Your feelings are real. Your experience makes sense. Your brain is not broken — it is wired differently, and it deserves a tool built for the way it actually works.

You are not overreacting. You are not too sensitive. Your nervous system just feels things more intensely than most. Felt is built for adults with Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria — the intense emotional pain triggered by perceived criticism, rejection, or failure that is common in ADHD and autism. If you have ever been blindsided by overwhelming emotional pain from a comment, a silence, or a look — and spent hours recovering — this app was built for you. NOT A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL Felt uses self-reflection tools and AI-powered pattern analysis to help you understand your RSD experience. It is not a clinical assessment and does not replace evaluation by a qualified mental health professional. WHAT IS RSD? Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria causes sudden, overwhelming emotional pain from perceived or actual rejection, criticism, teasing, or failure. It is widely recognized in the ADHD and autism clinical community and affects millions of adults who have never had a name for why they feel things so intensely. RSD SCREENER Ten reflection questions based on the clinical work of Dr. William Dodson and CHADD. One free AI interpretation helps you understand what your responses suggest about your experience. EPISODE LOGGER When an episode hits, log it quickly. Trigger type, intensity, physical symptoms, duration, and recovery notes. Building a record is the first step to understanding your patterns. IN-THE-MOMENT TOOLKIT — ALWAYS FREE When an episode is happening right now: - Immediate validation: "You are not overreacting. This is RSD." - Guided breathing and grounding exercises - Affirmation cycle: "This feeling has a name. It will pass." - Episode peak timer — most RSD episodes peak within 3 minutes - Crisis resources including 988 and Crisis Text Line — always free, never paywalled PATTERN DASHBOARD (Pro) Visual analytics across your logged episodes. Most common triggers, intensity over time, time-of-day patterns, recovery trends, weekly frequency chart. See your RSD clearly instead of just living inside it. AI WEEKLY INSIGHTS (Pro) Claude AI reviews your last 7 days and surfaces patterns in warm plain language — which environments trigger your most intense episodes, what your recovery trend looks like, and personalized coping suggestions based on your actual data. COPING STRATEGY LIBRARY (Pro) Evidence-based strategies by category: in-the-moment, prevention, communication, workplace, relationships, self-compassion. AI personalizes recommendations based on your trigger patterns. Save what works. COMMUNICATION SCRIPTS (Pro) Pre-written scripts for the hardest RSD conversations. Explaining RSD to a partner. Asking for feedback safely. Responding to criticism at work. Claude AI generates custom scripts for your specific situation. TRUSTED PERSON MODE (Pro) Share a read-only summary of your patterns with someone you trust — on your terms, only what you choose. Help the people who care about you understand without having to explain in the moment. INSIGHTS JOURNAL (Pro) Daily RSD-specific reflection prompts, free text journaling, weekly AI theme analysis, and PDF export for your therapist. YOUR DATA Stored securely via Firebase. Optional cloud sync. No ads. No data selling. Ever. Felt is built with genuine understanding of what RSD feels like from the inside. You are not broken. You are not too much. You just need better tools. Not a clinical diagnosis. For self-reflection only. If you are in crisis please contact 988 or a qualified professional.
