Show HN: It’s so hard to focus during work with ADHD
Hi all,
Sooo ive spent years and years battling ADHD behind a desk, and still, I haven't found that 'one' tool to keep me focused.
I'm pretty sure I've sampled a galaxy of productivity tools, and yet, not a single one seems to be designed for an ADHD brain like mine.
Here's the loop I find myself in:
1. Realize I've done nothing at work and feel overwhelmed and stressed.
2. Hit Google: "Top ADHD productivity tools," "Best ADHD time-management…." you name it.
3. Sign up for EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.
4. Feel like I'm drowning in a sea of features, but still used it.
5. Few days later, forget the tool even existed.
6. When I do remember, oops, too late, I’ve lost interest.
7. Realize I've done nothing at work and feel overwhelmed and stressed.
It's a never-ending cycle, and I've had enough. Since I’m a software engineer, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I've just launched a to-do list designed for ADHD minds.
It’s been helping me and my colleagues stay focused at work.

- smileyao 3y agoI hope you 'complish' all your tasks with this tool mate.
- eva_cananim 3y agoI don't see a privacy policy, it seems to require a Google or Apple account and it is behind cloudflare so it is 99.99999% certain that three letter agencies are watching all use by people outside the USA. My to-do list is personal information that could reveal a lot about me and could be used to direct personalised adverts at me. Why would I trust you with it?
- GoodluckH 3y agoHi! Thanks for the heads up. We're only 2-weeks old so we haven't had resources to iron out a privacy policy as we're shipping new features rapidly that might affect our privacy policy. All of our users data are securely stored on AWS. We do not and will not share your todo items with third-party because we are operating a freemium business model (e.g., Notion), so we don't have the financial incentive the advertise our user data. Google and Apple are for auth purposes, they only have access to what they already know about you (username, email, profile pic, etc). I hope this clears your concerns.
