For ADHD and autistic brains, and the AuDHD overlap. ProAuDHDuctive is a productivity app that forgives missed days instead of punishing them. No streaks. No overdue red. No shame. KEY IDEAS - Tasks that don't get done roll forward quietly with a small "moved forward ยท Nร—" label, not a red warning. - Skipped routine days simply vanish for the day - no pile-up. - A sensory-friendly palette (three muted themes) and a reduced-motion toggle. THE BASICS - A single Today view with four lanes - Morning, Midday, Evening, Anytime. - Add a task with just a title. Energy level and rough time-of-day are opt-in chips. - Tap any task to break it into small steps, park it, skip it for the day, or remove it. ROUTINES THAT FORGIVE - Daily, weekly, every-N-days, or monthly recurrence. - Pause without deleting. Restore an accidental skip even hours later. - A skipped day never rolls forward. SECOND BRAIN - Brain Dump: a frictionless inbox for messy thoughts. Type or hold-to-speak. - Voice transcription is on-device. Audio is never stored or transmitted. - An optional AI assistant turns brain dumps into tasks, breaks a stuck task into small steps, suggests next actions based on your energy, and chats about your day. YOUR CHOICE OF AI (or none) - All AI features fall back to built-in templates if no model is configured. - Bring your own provider - Local (a model you run on your own network โ€” data never leaves), OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or any OpenAI-compatible host. - Each AI feature has its own opt-out toggle. A privacy blurb under the picker names exactly what gets sent and where. MORNING SUMMARY - An optional, calm daily notification listing what's planned. Local-only โ€” no servers, no remote push. PRIVACY BY DESIGN - No accounts, no tracking, no analytics, no ads. - Your tasks, routines, brain dumps, and chat history live on your device. - See the full privacy policy at the URL below.
