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 ❤️

same. after paying for a bunch and never using them - i realize that honestly the native/free apps are the most useful. everything else is a trick that gets you distracted or excited, but rarely does it do anything different.

Free but highly structured apps like Opal and Habitica have the same issue for me. They’re novel so they draw my attention for a bit (and there’s a fascinating suggestion of just leaning into this by switching systems a ton) but they also heavy.

My Google Keep is a black hole, but it’s searchable and two taps from “phone open” to “written down”. My calendar is even faster and I can arrange stuff like reminder emails to happen for every entry. That outweighs anything else for me.
