Your brain has 14 tabs open and you can't start any of them. Hop closes 13. Hop is a focus app built for ADHD brains. Instead of another endless to-do list, it shows you ONE small step at a time β€” the next thing, and only the next thing. HOW IT WORKS - Brain dump everything on your mind. Messy is fine. - Hop breaks it into tiny, concrete steps. The first one always takes 2 minutes or less. - You see one step on screen. Do it. The next one appears. WHY HOP IS DIFFERENT - No lists to stare at. No streaks to break. No guilt when you skip a day. - A numberless, melting timer β€” feel time pass without a stressful countdown. - A journey counter that never resets. We say "welcome back," never "you missed 3 days." FOR THE HARD PARTS - A gentle break suggestion when you're stuck β€” never shame. - One calm nudge a day, not a stream of nagging notifications. - Body-double ambient sounds for that "someone's here" feeling. - Home-screen widgets + Apple Watch: your next step, always in reach. - Focus shield (iOS): quietly hold back distracting apps while you work. - Voice brain dump: just say it out loud. GROUNDED IN RESEARCH Hop is built on the science of executive function and task chunking β€” not productivity-guru hustle. It's designed for how ADHD brains actually start things. FREE + HOP+ Hop is free, with unlimited offline task breakdown. Hop+ unlocks unlimited AI smart-splitting and premium focus tools. No ads. No tracking. Ever. Start with one step. β€” Hop+ is an auto-renewing subscription (monthly / yearly / lifetime). Payment is charged to your Apple ID; it renews unless cancelled at least 24h before the period ends.

The hardest part isn't the to-do list. It's crossing the line from "I know I need to" to actually beginning. Zelune meets you right at that threshold. Not a task manager. Not another calendar. No streaks to break, no guilt when you miss a day, nothing new to keep up with. WHAT'S INSIDE β€’ Today's Focus β€” one gentle screen, never an overwhelming list β€’ Quick Nudge β€” break any task into tiny, doable steps β€’ SOS β€” when you're frozen or spiraling, open a calm full-screen space and talk it through. Zelune helps you find the smallest possible starting point. β€’ Gentle check-ins β€” soft morning, afternoon, and evening nudges (never nagging) β€’ Evening reflection β€” a kind moment to close the day β€’ Weekly patterns β€” see how you've been showing up, over time WHAT ZELUNE WON'T DO No streaks. Nothing to break, nothing to lose when you disappear for a week. No badges, no points, no progress bars. No guilt copy. Ever. Nobody tells you you're behind. Your SOS conversations and reflections are encrypted. Your writing is never sold and never used to train anything. If you're ever in crisis, Zelune will always point you to real human help. WHO IT'S FOR Adults diagnosed late, or never. People who know exactly what to do and cannot make themselves start. If "just make a list" has never once worked for you β€” that's the thing this was built around. FREE, PERMANENTLY 4 tasks a day, 12 a week 3 SOS sessions a week No card, no expiry ZELUNE PRO β€” $9.99/month Unlimited tasks Unlimited SOS support Weekly Pattern reports Faster help when you need it Starts with 7 days on Pro. No card required. Subscription auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
