MeinSystem is a calm daily planner for adults with ADHD, autism, and AuDHD. WHY EVERYDAY LIFE WITH AUDHD TAKES SO MUCH ENERGY The morning already holds too many questions: What do I need to do? Where do I start? In which order? Making these decisions again uses the energy you needed to begin. Your mind may want both: new stimulation and a predictable routine. Variety, yet exhaustion from change. Structure, yet the feeling of being boxed in. Time blindness makes the day blur. When you lose the thread, it can feel like starting from zero. MeinSystem gives you a place to look when you do not know how to continue. DECIDE ONCE, LOOK IT UP LATER Set up morning, evening, or household routines on a good day and break them into concrete steps. When your head is full, your day plan shows what is due. Your routine shows the next step. If you lose the thread, you know where to continue. Structure is a handrail, not a cage. Max Anton Schneider built MeinSystem as a founder with ADHD and autism. The routines lived on paper first, then on a wall, then in the app. Calendars and to-do lists alone were not enough. What was missing were reusable steps and routines for specific days. YOUR DAY AT A GLANCE Plan, Todos, Day, Focus, and Me give everything a place. Day and three-day views make time visible; the month picker lets you jump to a date. Apple Watch and Home Screen widgets keep your plan and next step close at hand. Start with your own morning routine or explore customizable templates for tasks, routines, and workflows. The app is available in 25 languages, including Arabic with a right-to-left interface. CALENDARS IN ONE PLACE See selected Apple calendars in your day plan and export appointments and routines to your device calendar, including iCloud. This works on every plan, without a MeinSystem account. PRO adds Google Calendar, Outlook.com, and Microsoft 365 work and school accounts. Choose which calendars to show and where to export entries. External changes do not overwrite your MeinSystem entries.
