About

Kickstart

Task paralysis isn't laziness. Time blindness isn't carelessness. Kickstart is the ADHD app that gets you *started* โ€” 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 โ€ข Unstick Me โ€” splits any task into tiny steps; step 1 always takes 2 minutes or less. Runs on your device, works offline โ€ข Launch Pad โ€” ONE next action, not a guilt list โ€ข Visible time โ€” shrinking radial timers, Live Activities, widgets, Apple Watch โ€ข Body Double Rooms โ€” silent live co-working, zero chat pressure โ€ข Bendy streaks โ€” miss a day, the vine bends; it never breaks โ€ข Brain Dump โ€” add anything in under 3 seconds from anywhere, sort never โ€ข Start Ritual โ€” a 20-second runway from intention to action โ€ข Routines that compress when you're running late, and say so plainly โ€ข Wins, not shame โ€” 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 โ€” 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.

Reclock

Your flights are already on your phone. Your jet lag plan appears automatically. Reclock turns any trip into a clear, personal schedule for sleep, bright light, caffeine, and recovery, so you feel local when you land instead of three days later. A plan you can actually follow Reclock builds around your real life: your normal sleep, whether you can sleep on planes, meal service, layovers, work meetings, even a wedding on arrival night. No 4 p.m. bedtimes, and no pretending you will sleep nine hours in economy. Know exactly what to do now One glance shows Now, Next, and Tonight. The full timeline covers before departure, in flight, after arrival, recovery days, and the trip home, shown in destination time, home time, or both. It adapts when travel does not cooperate Flight delayed? Slept through the light window? Tell Reclock and the rest of the plan rebuilds from where your body clock actually is, then shows you exactly what changed. Flights import themselves Reclock finds the flights that airline emails and apps like Flighty and TripIt add to your calendar, scanned on your device and shown to you for approval. Or type a flight in under a minute. Why it works Timed light is the strongest signal your body clock has. Sleep timing, an honest caffeine cutoff, and optional melatonin reminders do the rest. Every step tells you when and why in plain language. Short trips get the honest answer too: sometimes the best plan is staying on home time. Private by design Free, with no ads, no account, and no server. Your calendar and health data never leave your device. Reclock works fully offline once your plan exists, airplane mode included. Reclock provides general wellness guidance for travelers, not medical advice.
