Kickstart

Task paralysis isn't laziness. Time blindness isn't carelessness. Kickstart is the ADHD app that gets you *started* β€” not another planner you'll abandon by Thursday. One tap breaks any task into micro-steps you can physically start in 2 minutes. Body double with people who get it. Watch time shrink instead of guessing. Streaks that bend when life happens, instead of breaking you. WHY KICKSTART WORKS DIFFERENTLY β€’ Unstick Me β€” splits any task into tiny steps; step 1 always takes 2 minutes or less. Runs on your device, works offline β€’ Launch Pad β€” ONE next action, not a guilt list β€’ Visible time β€” shrinking radial timers, Live Activities, widgets, Apple Watch β€’ Body Double Rooms β€” silent live co-working, zero chat pressure β€’ Bendy streaks β€” miss a day, the vine bends; it never breaks β€’ Brain Dump β€” add anything in under 3 seconds from anywhere, sort never β€’ Start Ritual β€” a 20-second runway from intention to action β€’ Routines that compress when you're running late, and say so plainly β€’ Wins, not shame β€” we celebrate starting, never graph your failures BUILT FOR ADHD BRAINS No courses. No setup marathon. No red badges piling up. Everything works without an account, and voice input runs offline and on-device. Free during early access β€” no ads, no subscription, no account required. Your tasks never leave your device. No ads, no tracking, no data sale. Ever. Kickstart is a productivity support tool. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, or cure ADHD or any condition.

About

Activity Scheduler

Read full description

Activity Scheduler: FocusFlow is a visual activity scheduler and ADHD planner for days when a long to-do list only adds pressure. Empty your head first, then turn the noise into a day you can actually start, with a Pomodoro timer for the task in front of you. Give every task a start time and a duration. The activity scheduler lays your day out on a timeline, reminds you before each task begins and warns you before the day overflows. When it is time to work, the Pomodoro timer starts from the task you picked, so you do not have to decide again. WHAT THE ACTIVITY SCHEDULER DOES β€’ Brain dump first, sort later: the ADHD planner keeps one clear next step β€’ Visual time blocks instead of an endless list β€’ Reminders before each task starts β€’ Import Apple Reminders and calendar events β€’ Recurring tasks for daily, weekday and weekly routines β€’ Pomodoro timer with 25/5 sessions, a 15-minute soft start and Live Activity on the Lock Screen β€’ Focus minutes, completed tasks, daily load and streaks β€’ Home Screen widget and Siri shortcuts A GENTLER WAY TO KEEP GOING A small sprout grows with every focus session, and a gentle streak counts the days you showed up. At the end of the day, you decide what moves to tomorrow, without guilt. That is how an ADHD planner should feel. FocusFlow Pro adds unlimited tasks per day, AI planning that builds and replans your day, Deep Work and Study presets for the focus timer, and deeper reviews. Your plan stays on your device, with optional iCloud backup and no account. Less pressure than a to-do list, more structure than a blank page: an activity scheduler you will actually open tomorrow. Activity Scheduler: FocusFlow is a productivity tool, not a medical or diagnostic app. Privacy Policy: https://solvalex.com/en/legal/apps/privacy-policy Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
