About this app

A daily planner built around three things ADHD adults actually ask for — and, as of writing, no other Android app puts all three in one place.

■ A DAY YOU CAN SEE
Block out your day in coloured bands whose height matches how long they actually are. An hour looks like an hour and twenty minutes looks like twenty minutes, because the thing time blindness makes hard is feeling the difference. Pick which weekdays each block repeats on, mark it done, partly or skipped, and move on.

■ YOUR OWN MEDICATION LOG
Add what you take, at the times you take it, in your own words. Today's doses are laid out in order, each one either logged or waiting. Log a dose as taken or skipped, add a note about how it went, and record as-needed doses whenever you like. If you want to, you can note how many hours it usually lasts for you — and the app will show that back to you, and nothing else.

■ A DOPAMINE MENU
Write your list when choosing is easy, so you can read it when choosing is hard. Sort it into starters, mains, sides, treats and specials. Then tap "pick something for me", say how long you have, and get one suggestion that fits — not another list to choose from.

■ A FOCUS TIMER THAT WORKS ALONE
Set a session length, pick white, pink or brown noise, and go. The sound is generated on your phone, so it loops seamlessly and downloads nothing. There is no partner to wait for, no room to join and no account to make.

■ ONE TIMELINE
Blocks you marked, doses you recorded and focus sessions you ran, grouped by day on one rail. A skipped block is recorded as calmly as a finished one. There are no streaks and nothing scores you.

■ FREE AND OFFLINE
There is no account and no sign-up, and nothing you write is uploaded anywhere — your blocks, doses and notes stay in one database on your phone. The free plan holds 6 time blocks, 2 medications and 8 menu items; recording is never limited, on any plan. Premium removes the caps and the ads, and comes three ways: monthly, yearly, or a single Lifetime payment that never renews. Cancel a monthly or yearly plan whenever you like.

■ 12 LANGUAGES
English, Arabic, German, Spanish, French, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Urdu and Chinese.

■ WHAT THIS APP IS NOT
It is a notebook, not a clinician. It does not diagnose anything, does not treat anything, and never suggests a medication, a dose, a timing or a schedule — every number in it is one you typed. Nothing it shows you is medical advice, and decisions about medication belong between you and the person who prescribes it.
