Built an ADHD Productivity App Out of Necessity - Now Looking for Community Feedback
Hey everyone,
After 15 years of struggling with generic productivity tools that just don't work for ADHD brains, I finally built something that actually helps. AiDD is now live on the App Store, and I need your input to make it even better.
The Problem I'm Solving:
Traditional productivity apps assume neurotypical executive function. They don't account for energy fluctuations, task paralysis, or the unique ways ADHD minds process information. I was tired of masking at work and burning out trying to fit into systems that weren't built for us.
What AiDD Does Differently:
AI-Powered Task Prioritization: Our proprietary AI Score dynamically reorders your tasks based on YOUR current context, energy level, and calendar
Energy-Aware Scheduling: Tell the app your energy level, and it adjusts what tasks to suggest
Executive Function Support: Breaks overwhelming projects into bite-sized, actionable steps
Gamification That Actually Works: Earn badges, grow a virtual garden, spin the task roulette when you're stuck
No Disclosure Required: Works seamlessly without having to explain your ADHD to anyone
Early Success & Your Input Needed:
We already have paying users and amazing feedback, but I want to hear from this community:
What productivity struggles do you face daily that current apps don't address?
How do you currently manage task paralysis or decision fatigue?
What would make you actually WANT to use a productivity app instead of avoiding it?
For those interested in trying it: What features would convince you to upgrade from free to premium?
The Vision:
This isn't just another app - it's about building tools that work WITH neurodivergent brains instead of against them. I've consulted with Dr. Ned Hallowell (author of "Driven to Distraction") to ensure we're aligned with proven ADHD strategies.

Would love to hear your thoughts, criticisms, and ideas. What features would make this indispensable for your daily life?
Building this for us, by us. 🧠✨
P.S. - If you're interested in the technical side, I built the MVP for under $500 using AI tools. Happy to share that journey if there's interest.
