I got tired of fighting to-do apps with my ADHD, so I built one around time blindness
I've always bounced off traditional to-do apps — they felt like extra work instead of help. So I started building a planner for my ADHD that removes as much friction as possible.
A few things in the video that mattered most to me:
- Creating tasks by just tapping and dragging directly into the day view
- Starting with a tiny anchor — 30 seconds, 1 or 2 minutes — to get over the activation hump
- Splitting tasks in half so they feel less daunting
- Comparing estimated vs actual duration after a task to chip away at time blindness
- Surfacing forgotten or missed tasks with a single tap
- A widget showing what percentage of the day has passed, based on your wake-up time
and estimated bedtime
- Data pages that actually matter: a time-blindness graph, productivity peaks based on your circadian rhythm, and more
I also didn't want the day to feel sterile, so the interface shifts with morning/evening sky colors as the day moves.
It's almost done — I've got a working build I'm testing on myself for a few days before polishing the last details.
Would love feedback on what feels useful, confusing, or unnecessary.
