Most ADHD apps are planners. They assume you'll plan.

Captain ADHD assumes today might be hard — and works anyway.

START WITH THE FREE SCREENER

The ASRS v1.1 six-question screener — the instrument used in clinical
settings — in about a minute. You get a clear result and something useful to
bring to a doctor. It is a screening tool, not a diagnosis: only a qualified
clinician can diagnose ADHD.

A COMPANION, NOT ANOTHER SYSTEM TO MAINTAIN

• Morning check-in — thirty seconds. How much energy you have, what's on your
mind. The Captain answers, and picks a card that matches your answer.
• 90 daily cards across eight themes: time blindness, executive function,
self-compassion, sleep, relationships, hyperfocus, emotional regulation and
organisation.
• Evening wind-down — close the day, leave one thing for tomorrow, and breathe
for ninety seconds.

TOOLS FOR THE ACTUAL PROBLEM

• A focus timer that starts at 2 minutes, because entry cost is everything
• Decision Taker — a spinning ship's wheel for decision paralysis, with a gut
check afterwards that is the part that really works
• Overwhelm mode — one instruction at a time, nothing else on screen
• Gentle reminders that re-nudge half an hour later instead of giving up on you
• Focus sounds — brown, pink and white noise, rain, waves and wind

ZERO GUILT, BY DESIGN

The streak forgives a missed day by default. Cancelling a timer costs you
nothing. There are no red marks, no shaming, no "you broke your streak" — and
nothing in this app that can be failed.

YOUR ANSWERS STAY ON YOUR PHONE

No account. Nothing to sign up for. Your screening result, your check-ins and
anything you write are stored on your device and never sent anywhere.
Uninstalling deletes all of it.

The app goes online for one thing: if you subscribe, it checks with our
payment provider that your subscription is still active. That check carries
nothing about you and nothing about your health. No ads, no trackers, no data
selling, ever.

CAPTAIN PREMIUM (OPTIONAL)

Daily check-ins with the Captain, the evening wind-down ritual, overwhelm
mode, the weekly recap, focus sounds, the full card archive and unlimited
reminders. Everything else stays free, forever.

Made for adults with ADHD. Available in English, Spanish, French and Italian,
