A science-based ADHD app for focus, productivity, and daily life. Manage your ADHD in just 5 minutes a day! Inflow is designed by people with ADHD, for people with ADHD. We are not a glorified timer or calendar. Inflow is a science-based program designed to help you manage focus, procrastination, and follow-through in a way that works with your brain, not against it. Developed with clinical psychologists and featured in peer-reviewed research. DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?  Do you struggle with focus, organization, or procrastination? Does "task paralysis" stop you from starting simple chores? Have you abandoned planners and trackers in the past? ADHD doesn’t have to hold you back. Inflow can help. WHY INFLOW?  Inflow is based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) principles. We don't just give you a tool; we teach you the "why" behind your brain and how to cope when motivation is low. Thriving starts with understanding your unique neurodivergence. Meet your goals, kick the distraction habit, and create a daily structure adapted to you. SCIENCE-BASED MODULES FOR ADHD SUPPORT (CBT-INSPIRED) Spend less time planning and more time doing. We help you improve skills in: - Focus and concentration - Attention and Hyperactivity - Goal Setting and Consistency - Time management and routines - Emotional regulation and self-criticism - Reducing distraction & Phone addiction - Impulsivity & Anxiety related to ADHD - Mindfulness & Nutrition - Managing RSD (Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria) MEET QUINN, YOUR AI ADHD COMPANION Stuck in a scroll hole? Overwhelmed by a messy kitchen? Chat with Quinn to think things through and get unstuck! - Instant Task Breakdown: Ask Quinn to break big projects into manageable steps. - Judgment-Free Support: Get personalized strategies or just vent without shame. - 24/7 Availability: Guidance whenever you need it, day or night. LIVE BODY DOUBLING & COMMUNITY You don't have to do this alone. - Coworking sessions: Join live or on-demand focus rooms. Body doubling is the #1 way to crush procrastination for ADHDers. - Supportive Community: Share wins and struggles in a stigma-free space. TOOLS FOR EVERYDAY LIFE Inflow helps you build routines one day at a time. Whether studying, organizing your home, or making space for self-care, our tools help you focus on what matters most. WHO IS INFLOW FOR?  Whether you’re newly diagnosed, late-diagnosed, or still figuring things out, ADHD doesn’t have to dictate your day. Inflow meets you wherever you are on your journey. You do not need a formal diagnosis to use our tools. - Think you might have ADHD? If you relate to things like distraction, time blindness, or task paralysis but don’t have a formal diagnosis, Inflow can help you understand your brain and start building better habits. No doctor’s note required. - Newly Diagnosed? Diagnosis explains the ”what”, but Inflow teaches the “how”. We bridge the gap between clinical diagnosis and daily life by teaching you the practical CBT skills and coping mechanisms that complement medication and clinical care. - Living with ADHD? Even pros hit burnout. Consistency is hard! Inflow provides the external structure and community accountability ("Body Doubling") you need to stay on track and reset when life gets overwhelming. - Struggling with Executive Function? Focus and regulation issues aren't exclusive to ADHD. Whether navigating Autism (ASD), OCD, Depression, or general burnout, our tools help you overcome paralysis regardless of your specific label.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Inflow at 4.4 against ReliefLink's 3.8. Inflow also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (5.6K vs 9). ReliefLink's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12) and review sentiment (70% vs 44%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Inflow sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $22.49 per month. ReliefLink asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Inflow holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Inflow has 5.6K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of ReliefLink's written reviews are positive against 44% of Inflow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ReliefLink ships an update every 13 months, Inflow every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on October 21, 2026.
