Read full description

Tempa is a voice-first day planner for ADHD adults — and for anyone whose to-do list has quietly turned into a wall of guilt. Say your day out loud, and Tempa's AI turns it into a real schedule: times, durations, and an order that fits how your energy actually moves. Then it does the part that matters most. It hides the wall and shows you one thing — the one you're doing right now. No streaks to lose. No red overdue badges. No screen telling you how far behind you are. When a day falls apart, Tempa reshapes it and moves on with you. Tempa is free to download. Using it requires Tempa Pro, an auto-renewable subscription — and new subscribers get 3 days completely free on the yearly plan, so you can test every feature before paying anything. WHAT YOU GET WITH TEMPA PRO • Speak Your Day: Talk the way you think — "gym at eight, focused work until lunch, call Mum in the evening." Tempa writes the schedule; you tap once to keep it. • One Thing at a Time: The Right Now block shows the single task you're on, with everything else deliberately out of sight until it's their turn. • Break It Down: Stuck on something big? Tempa splits it into steps small enough to actually start, so beginning costs almost nothing. • Ask Tempa: Ask what to do next, what to drop, or where something could fit — and get an answer that already knows what's on your day. • Focus Sessions: A dial-based timer with a gentle nudge if you wander off, never a scolding one. A session survives an app switch, a phone call, or a full restart — you come back to exactly where you were. • Built Around Your Rhythm: Tell Tempa when you wake up and when your energy dips. Demanding work stays in your good hours; the dip gets the light stuff. • Your Week, Without the Report Card: See your golden hours as a heat map, your focus minutes, and what you planned against what you did — as information, never a verdict. • Yours, Everywhere: Your day syncs privately across your iPhone and iPad through your own iCloud account. No sign-up, no ads, no tracking. Plan out loud. Do one thing. Move at your tempo. — — — SUBSCRIPTION Tempa Pro is a paid auto-renewable subscription required to use Tempa. • Subscription: Tempa Pro Yearly • Length: 1 year, auto-renewing • Price: $29.99 USD per year (prices may vary by region) • Free trial: 3 days for new subscribers, then $29.99/year • Subscription: Tempa Pro Monthly • Length: 1 month, auto-renewing • Price: $3.99 USD per month (prices may vary by region) Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.
