Sammy ADHD Task Support vs TimeTurtle

Most task apps hand you a long list and let you stare at it. Sammy hands you one card. Swipe right to start it, swipe left to skip it. That's the whole thing. WHY ONE CARD INSTEAD OF A LIST A to-do list asks you to do three things at once: choose what matters, rank it against everything else, and start. If you stall at the starting line, that isn't one wall, it's three. A single card collapses all of it into one binary decision: this task, yes or no. That's a decision size a stalled brain can actually make. HOW IT WORKS - One task at a time, never a wall of to-dos - Swipe right: a timer starts, you begin - Swipe left: skipped, no penalty, no judgment - Sammy the squirrel collects a nut for every task you finish, visible progress right now instead of some abstract payoff later - Decks for chores, admin, self-care, getting out the door, and days where brushing your teeth is the whole win NO STREAKS, NO GUILT Sammy doesn't count how many days in a row you've kept it up. There's nothing to break. Anyone who has fought procrastination knows the spiral: miss one day, and the app becomes one more thing accusing you. Sammy only counts upward. WHO IT'S FOR People with ADHD, executive dysfunction, anxiety, or just an ordinary bad day. Adults, teens, and kids, with content curated per age group. HONEST ABOUT THE SCIENCE There's a screen inside the app that explains the actual mechanism behind each feature: why task paralysis is better understood as an activation failure than a motivation problem, why decision fatigue costs more for ADHD brains, and what the nut counter is really standing in for. It's equally explicit about where the evidence is thin: there is no controlled trial of Sammy's specific implementation. That's exactly why there's a free trial instead of a "trust us" pitch. PREMIUM - Unlimited custom decks and cards - Mood check-in: tasks adapt to your actual energy, not the energy you wish for - Full win log - Recurring schedules - Two more companions: Eddy the elephant and Tammy the turtle - Offline decks Sammy is not a medical device and does not replace diagnosis, advice, or treatment.

TimeTurtle is an ADHD task timer and visual day planner. Every task shows real clock times, and time's up rings even on silent. Free, with no account, no ads, and no streaks. Made for time blindness, by someone with ADHD, for ADHD and other neurodivergent brains. List what you want to do, give each task a few minutes, and tap play. Tochi, a little turtle, walks with you while your time runs down. TimeTurtle keeps track of time, so you don't have to. RINGS EVEN ON SILENT With alarms allowed, TimeTurtle rings when time's up, even on silent or in a Focus. Tap Done when you're finished, or Stop to quiet it. If you're still in the zone, it checks in again every 5 minutes until you're ready. TOCHI WALKS WITH YOU Tochi walks along a calm shoreline while your time runs down, the sand drifting past, and when time's up Tochi walks up onto a rock and sits to wait. A bar empties as time passes, so you can see your time at a glance. Every task you time for 2 minutes or more earns pebbles, one for every 5 minutes on the timer, up to 12. Pebbles level Tochi up through twelve ranks with new shell colors, and levels never go down. Pick easy, medium, or hard for how fast Tochi levels up, and chase a new best day. Timed tasks add to Tochi's long walk too: the next place grows closer on your horizon, with new places to reach as you go, each with a friend to meet and something to discover. Earning pebbles, reaching a new place or level, or setting a record gets a big, loud celebration. NO ACCOUNT. NO STREAKS. NOTHING PILES UP. There's nothing to sign up for, no streaks to keep, and no red badges. At zero, TimeTurtle waits and counts up. It never jumps ahead or makes you feel bad, and nothing moves without you. A VISUAL DAY PLANNER "15 minutes" is abstract. "until 4:06" is real. Every task shows its clock times, and your whole list shows when you'll be all done. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN, LOCK SCREEN, AND WRIST Your timer lives on your Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island, in Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, and on your Apple Watch. Tap Done, +5 min, or Pause without opening the app, from the Lock Screen, a Control Center control, or the Action Button. Add TimeTurtle to your watch face to see your task and its time all day. TAKE A BREAK WITH TOCHI Tochi's 5, 10, or 15 minute breaks rest your eyes, guide your breathing, and show gentle desk stretches, then bring you back to your task. Breaks earn pebbles too.
