Brain Dump first
Open the app, dump everything that’s in your head. Type, ramble, repeat yourself. The AI organizes it into tasks, self-care, and “let it go” piles. You haven’t had to prioritize anything yet.
ADHD planner
An ADHD planner that works with your brain, not against it.
ADDMind is the iPhone ADHD planner built for the way ADHD brains actually plan — chaotic input, energy-aware suggestions, micro-step breakdowns, and zero shame. Free with optional Pro.
The ADHD planning problem
Most planners assume a brain you don't have.
They want you to prioritize first, then plan, then execute. ADHD brains work in the opposite order — the chaos comes first, then the planning has to meet you where you are. ADDMind is built around that order.
Energy check second
Tap the Energy Battery and tell the app how you actually feel. It surfaces tasks that match your current capacity — easy wins when you’re low, deep work when you’re sharp.
Micro-steps third
Pick one task. Tap “Break it down.” Get 3–5 absurdly small next steps. If one is still too hard, tap “Make it smaller” and the AI breaks it down further. Momentum compounds.
Built for the way ADHD planning fails
No streaks, no red alerts, no passive-aggressive reminders.
Missed a day? Welcome back — here's where you left off. The app celebrates what you did, not what you didn't. Every interaction is designed to lower the emotional cost of getting started.
ADHD planners often look like productivity dashboards: KPI counts, streaks, “you have 7 overdue tasks” red banners. That works for some people. It’s actively harmful for the executive-function-impaired brain — every red number is a shame trigger that makes opening the app harder, not easier.
ADDMind takes the opposite stance. The “I’m overwhelmed” button is a single tap that strips away everything except one small, kind suggestion. The Hyperfocus timer ends with an affirmation, not a “completion percentage.” The home screen shows what’s possible right now, not everything you didn’t finish.
Common questions
Quick answers.
What makes ADDMind different from a regular planner?
Regular planners assume you can prioritize, estimate time, and just 'start.' ADDMind doesn't. The Brain Dump captures whatever's in your head — messy, repetitive, half-formed — and uses AI to sort it. Every task gets broken into the smallest possible next step. Tasks are matched to your current energy. The whole app is built for the way ADHD brains actually work, not the way productivity apps wish they did.
Is ADDMind a good ADHD planner for adults?
Yes — ADDMind is designed for adults with ADHD. The product behavior, copy, and accessibility coverage (full Dynamic Type AX1–AX5, VoiceOver, Switch Control, Reduce Motion) all assume an adult audience. The app is not intended for children.
Does the ADHD planner work offline?
Most features work offline — capturing brain dumps, viewing your tasks, running a Hyperfocus session. AI features (organizing a brain dump, generating micro-steps) need a network connection because they call Google Gemini. When you're offline, the app tells you which features are paused.
How is ADDMind different from Tiimo, Routinery, or Sunsama?
Tiimo focuses on visual schedules. Routinery focuses on routines. Sunsama is daily-planning for knowledge workers. ADDMind focuses on the cognitive friction that happens before you can plan — getting the chaos out of your head, matching tasks to your actual capacity, and protecting you from shame when you fall behind. They can complement each other.
Do I need a subscription to use ADDMind as a planner?
No. The free tier covers brain dumps (up to 3/day), micro-steps, energy check-ins, hyperfocus sessions, and 7 days of focus history. Pro removes the daily brain-dump cap, unlocks unlimited focus history, recursive micro-step breakdowns, and Gemini-generated affirmations. Pro is $7.99/month or $59.99/year.
