An ADHD app idea focused on helping people start tasks
ADHD Companion is meant to be more like a supportive than another task list. Many tools, such as Todoist, Notion, and , assume that reminders are enough, but many people with ADHD already know what they need to do and still struggle to begin.
The main problem being targeted is , where starting, organizing, and continuing tasks can be hard. Planned features include turning spoken thoughts into tasks, breaking large tasks into tiny steps, sending gentle instead of passive alerts, offering sessions and focus timers, guiding morning and evening routines, connecting with , and showing positive progress reports without guilt.
A typical prompt might remind someone that they planned to work on a report at 10 AM and invite them to begin with only the first paragraph. The goal is not to push people to be maximally productive, but to help them move past the gap between knowing what to do and actually starting.
