Your Brain is the voice-first memory assistant for ADHD adults, made by an ADHD founder. Tap and talk. Your words appear as you speak, transcribed on your phone. Your Brain turns them into tasks with dates, notes with no date, private thoughts, and people to remember. No forms. No setup. HOLD. SAY IT. DONE. Set the Action Button to Your Brain and capture a thought without even unlocking your phone. Or just say "Tell Your Brain" to Siri. BRAIN DUMP Say everything on your mind in one go. Your Brain splits it into separate tasks and ideas, each in the right place. TODAY, WITHOUT THE WALL A short list of what is on your plate today: anytime, morning, afternoon, evening. Things that carried over stay visible without turning red. THE SHELF Some things have no deadline. The Shelf holds them with no pressure. Add notes as ideas grow, and give one a day when you are ready. GENTLE REMINDERS A reminder when it is time, and one quiet nudge after. Choose repeat-until-done if you want it to keep knocking. PEOPLE MEMORY When you mention someone, Your Brain remembers them. Birthdays get reminders two weeks, one week, three days, and the day before.

If you have ADHD or time blindness, you know the feeling. You had plenty of time. Then somehow you're late again, apologizing, watching someone's face fall. It's not that you don't care — your brain just doesn't track time the way clocks do. Ontime is the external clock your brain is missing. Tell it when you need to be out the door and what your routine looks like. It does the backward math and tells you the exact minute to start — no guessing, no "one more minute." HOW IT WORKS • Backward planning: enter your deadline; Ontime stacks your routine steps and finds your true start time • Start-now alarm: one loud, unmissable alert at the exact minute to begin — not a vague reminder • Step-by-step mode: while you get ready, see what to do now and whether you're ahead or behind • Built-in buffer: pads for the transitions your brain skips MADE FOR ADHD BRAINS • Live Activity: the countdown lives on your Lock Screen, always in sight • Apple Watch: glanceable time pressure without picking up your phone • Widgets: "start in 23 min" right on your Home Screen • Insights: see which routines run over and which weekdays need more buffer • No streaks, no guilt. Just out the door on time. ONTIME PRO Ontime requires an Ontime Pro subscription — monthly or annual, auto-renewing. The annual plan starts with a free trial: nothing is charged until it ends, and you can cancel anytime in Settings. Prices are shown in the app before you subscribe.

Verdict
