Not to be too on the nose, but I'm a little too ADHD to sit through a video demo as the only explanation of the product. I wish you had at least enough info above the fold for me to know the basics of what it is this does.
Sorry for the pile on, but I second that. I also nope out on video explanations. For me it severely hampers my ability to recall the information presented.
With text I can actually pull the image back up in my mind and look at it (it might be a little blurry, but often times I can resolve what I'm looking for). With video that ability is mostly lost. My brain just doesn't store and retrieve that information the same way, apparently. It's like text makes it mostly intact to cold storage, but the only thing in cold storage about the video is metadata.
What even is this? Please don't make me watch a video to get an idea of what you do.
I don't know if it is meant to schedule tasks, track time, interrupt you if you're distracted, or anything else. I can't even tell why it is made for ADHD. Please add some additional writing on the homepage that describes what the app does. I don't know whether it is a web app, a native app, available on mobile or just desktop.
Is this a strategy to pump up those signups using curious people who will never come back to the app once they know what it is?
At work I have a whiteboard on which I write down every task I need to finish. Next to every task I write a small square which I put a green check mark in once the task is complete. I don't erase the whiteboard until I really need extra space so I can see how many tasks I have finished recently. It helps me focus.
at one point i had filled my office with whiteboards. it was really helpful to have a non-technical reminder of what needed to be done and what i accomplished. when the whiteboard was full, i expanded to the next one. (only half joking. actually i rewrote the accomplishments into a more condensed form, removing unimportant details, different whiteboards were actually for different projects)
but actually i think sticky notes would have been more efficient. you can collect them in the done column, letting them pile up to show you how far you have come.
I make a grid of squares to supplement my todo list. For each item on my todo list that I complete I fill in a square on the page. It's a great way of visualizing how much stuff you're getting done and it can be a surprisingly good motivator. You can even get fancier and arrange the page so that each square corresponds to a day on a calendar grid but then you need to come up with some criteria on what deserves a checkmark since you only get one.
This is fantastic! Just used it to knock off five quick tasks. I don't have ADHD (to the best of my knowledge), but I do love a running timer to help me focus.
It reminds me a lot of an old tool put out by Harvest (time-tracking software) called Harvest Gardener. I used that tool every day until they sadly took it offline.
The big differences: Gardener showed you the entire list at once (not just a single task), and let you enter times for each task in advance (not as the task popped up). One other slick feature: you could enter the estimated time right on the task by nothing it in parentheses, e.g. "Pay electric bill (:05)"
A visual timer really helps gets things done. Ya we go with one task at a time so it doesnt get overwhelming and you can decide how long to work on a task when it pops up. That parentheses feature is pretty cool, im curious if that is more convenient or just clicking a button when it pops up
Some advantages of the parenthetical time entry: 1) more granular control over time; I can easily enter (:02) or (:10) without going to a second-level menu to access the slider; 2) I can estimate times for all my tasks in advance, which makes it easier to plan breaks; 3) my workflow isn't interrupted by having to choose a time before moving on to the next task (admittedly, you've made this pretty easy with your 3 default buttons, but still, I find it distracting)
Suggestion: keep the buttons, but put them inline with task entry and also implement parentheses.
Regardless, I'm really enjoying this tool. Thanks!
Jumped on, saw like 5 words, no content and ADHD'ed right out of there.
Assuming its ai based on the url, I hope its better than the last AI tool I used for ADHD, which couldnt even integrate with a calendar, it would simply send me messages to update my calendar which let me tell you, adding one more boss / customer needing my attention isnt helpful.
Yup! I think it depends person to person, I'm very visual so I always prefer video, some people on this thread mentioned they're readers so I should cater for both
If its free, why are you asking people to sign up? Just put it behind some captcha like thing to avoid what ever you are trying to control in the first place.
the video was to fast for me. i had to slow it down to half speed to be able to see what was going on, and that still was to fast at times. i also missed a narrative of what was happening on the screen. voice or subtitles with that would be nice.
