Chunkable is an ADHD task breakdown app and to-do list for adults. Brain dump whatever is on your mind, typed or by voice, and it becomes a checklist of small steps, each with its own visual timer, so the first step is always small enough to start.

It's made for task paralysis, and for the kind of procrastination that comes from not knowing where to begin. It handles the executive function part most planners skip: it helps you break down tasks into steps you can actually do.

It isn't a calendar or a full task manager. Keep your ADHD planner for scheduling. Use Chunkable when one task feels too big to start: cleaning the kitchen, the email you keep avoiding, a form, studying for an exam.

How it works
- Brain dump first. One box, no sign-up, no setup quiz. Type it messy, or use voice to text with no time limit.
- AI task breakdown. Your brain dump becomes a to-do list of small steps, each with a time estimate.
- Everything stays editable. Reword any step, add your own, delete what you don't need. Nothing the AI writes is locked.
- Still stuck? "Make this smaller" breaks one step down into a few smaller ones.
- Drag a step's handle to reorder, or tap the handle and pick a move. Your order saves instantly.
- Choose your step size: smaller steps, or fewer, bigger ones.

A visual timer for time blindness
- A live countdown runs for the step you're on, so time stops quietly disappearing.
- It keeps counting in your notification shade when you switch apps. Pause it and nothing resets.
- Numbers adding pressure? Hide the time estimates.

No guilt built in
- Checking a step off gives quiet, positive feedback.
- No streaks to lose, no points, no red overdue warnings, no shame for what's still unchecked.
- Quiet sound and motion by default, and no ads.
- An optional weekly note that only ever counts what you finished.

Fits around you
- Home-screen widgets: tick off your next step, or start a new brain dump in one tap.
- Save a finished list as a routine and run it again, for chores, cleaning, or a morning routine.
- Six themes, including High Contrast, adjustable text size, and fonts made for easier reading.
- Export everything as plain text whenever you want.

Your list doesn't get lost
Checking a box, editing mid-thought, closing the app, losing signal: none of it costs you your list. Chunkable saves to your phone as you go. Checklists and timers work offline. The AI breakdown, "Make this smaller", and voice on most phones need a connection.

Why it works this way
"Chunking" comes from a 1956 paper in Psychological Review on how short-term memory holds information in small groups. A big, vague task is hard for a similar reason, so this app's whole job is to cut it into pieces you can hold.

There are no streaks or badges because a large meta-analysis found that rewards for completing things can undermine motivation once they stop, while plain positive feedback doesn't. The rest of the design comes from studying 10K+ Google Play reviews of 25+ ADHD and task apps.
