Waddle: Gentle ADHD Routines

Hyunkyung Lim

About this app

Every other app is sharp with you, and always in a hurry. Waddle is not. Waddle helps you gently.

WHEN STARTING FEELS IMPOSSIBLE

Starting something is daunting. You have lost count of the times you never started at all, simply because you did not know where or how to begin.

Tell Waddle what you have to do, in one sentence. Waddle gently builds the routine for you.

Sometimes there is just too much of it. When that happens, go WAAAH and pour all of it onto Waddle. Waddle will sort your thoughts out, together with you.

DRESS UP YOUR PENGUIN

Your penguin friend is cold right now (it is not wearing anything at all). Finish missions and you can put clothes on it, buy it gloves, tie a scarf around its neck. However you dress it, that is how it comes with you everywhere — including when you go and meet your friends.

SHOW WHAT YOU GOT DONE

Share what you finished — you and your own penguin, with your friends. What people with ADHD get done deserves respect, and deserves to be shown. Focus is hard, and you did it anyway — that makes it bigger. And if you like a friend's routine, they can hand it straight to you.

NO STREAKS. JUST COMEBACKS.

Away for a few days? That is completely okay. Waddle will never punish you, and will never show you a broken streak. Honestly, those things are just stressful. Waddle will simply be glad to see you again — it may even have caught you a fish while you were away.

Starting again is worth celebrating. Never be embarrassed about coming back. We are celebrating your comeback!

BODY DOUBLING, WITHOUT THE CAMERA

Let's body double together — unwashed, with your penguin friend out front.

Body doubling builds an environment where you can actually focus. But getting there was always so much work. You had to wash your face just to turn the camera on, and there were limits on who you could do it with and where. So we do it with penguins instead. The penguin you dressed yourself stands in front of the screen for you.

And there is one more fun thing: the routine you made yourself, you can run it together with a friend!

MADE TO FEEL FAMILIAR TO AN ADHD BRAIN

- You never have to set anything up. Nothing complicated, not one screen of it
- A penguin that speaks to you gently — leave the commands and the guilt with the other apps!
- A calm penguin friend you can share with friends
- Simple, low-clutter screens designed to reduce overwhelm

What’s new

Clear my head, rebuilt: spill what's in your head, then drop each line onto a day of your penguin calendar — or let the penguin place them. Split a task into small steps, or chunk a days-long one into pieces on the calendar. A new first-time walk shows it all (skip anytime).
