Say what and when, and the event lands. Same words, same result, every time — nothing waits on a server, nothing leaves your phone. Made for people who live in their calendar and think faster than they tap. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Add in one line — "dentist tuesday at 3pm", "lunch at noon", "gym friday 7am" • Let it find the time — "block 2 hours of deep work friday" takes your first free gap • Change things in plain words — push it later, move it, make it shorter, rename it • Clear a stretch — "clear friday afternoon" empties it in one step • Undo anything — every change reverses instantly; deletes ask first • Save your usuals — define "gym" once, then just type "gym fri" • Keep a todo list — "todo buy milk" adds it, "todo! call landlord" puts it first, "done buy milk" ticks it off • Your week on the lock screen — a Shortcut draws the week's events and your todos onto your wallpaper • Quick Add widget — open straight into the command bar from your lock screen • Type or speak it PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your calendar stays on your device.

Most productivity apps assume you can just start. Differently doesn't. It's a focus timer and task manager built around the three things that actually stall an ADHD brain: starting, staying, and knowing where the time went. FOCUS ONE MINUTE AT A TIME One task, a shrinking timer, and a buddy drawing beside you. Micro-steps turn "reply to that email" into three steps small enough to feel silly — each with its own small timer. STUCK? WARM UP YOUR BRAIN FIRST An arrow puzzle or a brain maze — thirty seconds of motion before the real work. Can't choose? Let the wheel pick your next task. KNOW WHAT MATTERS FIRST A four-quadrant priority board that answers "what first?" before you can spiral. Sort once, then do the top-left box. EVERY DEADLINE IN ONE PLACE A calendar with dots on the days, overdue folded away, and a task you can add right on the date. Reminders reach you even when the app is closed. EMPTY YOUR HEAD INTO NOTEBOOKS Brain dump, two ways: notebooks for writing, a board for spreading thoughts out and connecting them — switch with one tap, on phone and desktop. Lock private notes with a 4–6 digit PIN: titles and bodies are encrypted on your device before they sync, so only ciphertext ever reaches the server. SEE WHAT YOU ACTUALLY GOT DONE Focus time, completion rate and the week in one glance. A graph view turns your tasks into a small constellation. STAY WITH IT Body doubling — see when friends are focusing. Status only, never your tasks and never your screen. Eleven ambient sounds, breaks with a game or with nothing at all. MADE TO BE LOOKED AT FOR HOURS Light, dark, and three neurodivergent moods — Neon Sign, Maple, Forest. Accent colors, a font choice, and a reduce-motion switch. YOUR ACCOUNT Sign in with Apple or Google. Your work syncs across phone, desktop and web, and the app keeps running offline. Delete your account and everything in it from Settings at any time. Available in English, 한국어, 日本語, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano, Português, हिन्दी, and Bahasa Indonesia. Differently is a focus and planning tool. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose or treat any condition.
