“I’ve tried a billion reminder and task management apps and literally ignore every push notification. Rich people don’t even have to remember everything, they have personal assistants on staff who help them every day all year with remembering. If only there was app that would call me like a personal assistant would and take the mental load of having to remember everything…. When are they gonna build that??”

“Hey! I'm trying to find apps that genuinely help with executive function, daily routines, and task management. A lot of them feel either too complicated or just… not made with ADHD in mind. I’m especially looking for something that: * Breaks down tasks into smaller steps (so I don’t get stuck at the starting line) * Helps with time blindness (timers? visual cues? something better?) * Supports visual schedules/routines in a way that *doesn’t* feel overwhelming * Solutions that don't overwhelm you with too many features * Can somehow adapt when I’m struggling instead of just making me feel worse 😅 Have you find any app that have actually worked for you? What do you love about them? Also what features do you wish existed but haven't found yet?”

“I’m genuinely curious if this is just a me thing or an ADHD thing. I’ve tried a lot of productivity apps over the years (to-do lists, planners, Notion setups, etc.), and they all seem to fail me in the same way: They expect a level of planning, consistency, and upkeep that I just… don’t have. By the time I’ve: - Organized tasks into projects - Added priorities, dates, tags - Maintained the system every day …I’m already exhausted, overwhelmed, or completely checked out. What usually happens: I use the app for a few days (sometimes weeks) Miss a day Come back to a wall of overdue tasks Feel guilty / avoid the app Eventually abandon it altogether What I wish existed is something more ADHD-friendly: One place to brain-dump without organizing No punishment for missed days Help choosing one or two things to focus on, not 50 Something that works with low energy, not against it I’m not looking for app recommendations — I’m more interested in hearing: What specifically break”
