I built VIA because I was tired of planning tools that made me do all the planning.

I have ADHD. Give me a clear starting point and I'll execute all day. But figuring out what to prioritise, how to break a big goal into small ones, where to actually begin? That's where I'd spiral. I'd spend hours building the perfect plan. Then one unexpected change. A meeting moves, a deadline shifts, life happens. And the whole thing collapses.

I thought that was a me problem, but it turns out, most of the people I have talked to share a similar story.

I'm a designer with ADHD building a planner that survives contact with reality

Hey all,

Alex here, building from Ireland.

As someone with ADHD, planning always becomes overwhelming when I'm running my own projects. I m actually pretty good at getting things done but only once I know where to start. Figuring out where to begin when everything feels equally urgent is a real battle. I d burn energy just deciding a direction, then something would change, a meeting would run late, and the plan I made wouldn t survive the day.

The feature that almost killed our product was the one users asked for the most

For months, our most requested feature at Murror was a chat function. Users wanted to talk to the AI the way they talk to a friend. It seemed obvious. Every competitor had it. Every feedback form mentioned it.

So we built it.
