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.

Miette

A task feels huge. You know roughly what it involves. You still can't start. Miette takes that task and cuts it into 3 to 7 concrete micro-steps, each small enough to do in a couple of minutes. Then it shows you one step. Only one. The rest waits. WHEN A STEP WON'T BUDGE Tap "I'm stuck" and Miette offers three very first moves, each doable in under 30 seconds. Pick one and it becomes your step. No advice, no pep talk, just something physical you can do right now. STILL TOO BIG? "Split it up" breaks the step you're on into smaller ones, as many times as you need. A REMINDER, ONLY WHEN YOU ASK Set a reminder on the step you're on: in an hour, tonight, tomorrow morning, or any time you choose. Miette never schedules anything on its own. No daily nudge, no streak, no "come back" notification. TASKS THAT KEEP COMING BACK Laundry, admin, the weekly shop. Restart any past task from your history with all its steps, without breaking it down again. JUST START A setting that hides the step counter and the progress bar, for the days when numbers weigh more than they help. BUILT TO GET OUT OF YOUR WAY Adjustable text size, reduce motion, light and dark themes. Your tasks stay on your device. WHERE IT COMES FROM Miette was built for my girlfriend, who has ADHD, after watching the same thing happen again and again: the task wasn't too hard, it was too big to enter. Everything in the app comes from that โ€” one step on screen, nothing that nags, nothing that scores you. FREE AND PRO Three free breakdowns to start, then one a day. Miette Pro removes the limit. Miette is not a medical device and doesn't replace care or treatment. Terms of Use (EULA) : https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
