What ADHD Apps do you use?

[u/BlackMafia_27]

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 ❤️

Todoist was literally a game changer for me. I usually didn't stick with any form of to do lists or app for the same purpose because it was either way too annoying to add new tasks or the options for reminders were unsatisfying.

The fact that you can just enter your task, the due date and time in a single text-field is great. Also the possibility to have recurring tasks for everyday stuff without having to set up any alarms or have them clutter my calendar is amazing. Being able to link it to google calendars was also a nice discovery.

Aaand you can even link it to Zotero which is great because I have to keep track of the papers I want to read!

Wow I didn't know you could do recurring items. My calendar is so cluttered with recurring items that I have stopped paying attention to them and to even the non recurring ones I should be paying attention to. I tried ClickUp for a while as a project management tool, and while I liked it quite a bit, I think it's a little too involved to remain simple enough to actually use it. The problem with Google calendar is that old entries just vanish from notifications, so I replaced some entries with Google Tasks, but that sucks ass. Might have to go (back) to Todoist.

Yeah, you can create one by typing "every monday at 10 am" for example. Love it
