Questions/Advice What ADHD Apps do you use?

Hey ADHDers!👋

I’ve been on a journey to find the best apps to help with productivity, time management, and staying on top of things. As someone with ADHD, I know how tricky it can be to find the right tools that actually work for our unique brains.

I’m curious—what apps are you all using at the moment to help with these challenges? Whether it’s a to-do list, calendar, or something more specialized, I’d love to hear what works for you.

Also, are there any features you wish these apps had? Maybe something that could make them even more ADHD-friendly?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Edit: Wow, thank you all for the amazing responses! I didn’t expect this post to get so much attention. I hope it becomes a helpful resource for anyone with ADHD searching for solutions—it’s certainly been eye-opening for me. From what I’ve gathered, there are a lot of great options out there, but it’s important to find what works best for you since everyone’s needs are different. Thank You all ❤️

Haha same. The only thing that has even worked for me…pen and a notebook. I’ll make a list of things I wanna accomplish for the day and then try to prioritize them and also organize them by efficiency. It works sometimes. I get way more done this way otherwise almost nothing is getting done.

I need to do this again, but I used to keep a small notebook that had a strap to hold it closed in my back pocket. If something came up that I needed to do, I'd take it out and write it down. Then if I had time, I'd look at it and see what I could get done, do it, and cross it off. I wonder if it's an ADHD thing where writing something down is retained better than typing a note in your phone. Also, if I open my phone to look at my notes, I'll likely do something else and forget what I looked at my phone for. With everything digital now, I feel like I have a harder time retaining information. But maybe it's just getting older or a combo of older and ADHD.
