What apps do you find helpful for any adhd concerns??
Just started with using Lunatask to help keep myself on task, and help me remember a lot of the little things I tend to forget. I’m still learning what the app is fully capable of, but it’s been super helpful to me so far.
It is an end-to-end encrypted, cross-platform, todo list, notebook, habit and mood tracker, and journaling app built with ADHD brains in mind. The creator has also expressed some willingness to open source in the future, but there is no guarantees there.
Actually, this might be helpful! I was using Notion for bullet journaling stuff but realising that I never went back to it. This might prove better for me in the end.
This looks really interesting, but no mobile or web apps is a bit of a bummer 😕
iPhone & Android apps are currently in Beta. The iOS app is particularly stable, and anyone can sign up to join the Testflight here. Approvals happen every week sometime between Monday and Wednesday.
https://goblin.tools/ is an amazing app/site for helping neurodivergent people plan. The dev is great and there are apps for Android and iPhone.
Todoist is the main one. Everything I need/want to do is in there. Besides that, a calendar (Google Calendar to be precise, but any calendar would work, I don’t need anything complex from it), and finally Obsidian as my knowledgebase/2nd brain. Main things I use Obsidian for is journalling and expense tracking which helps with my impulsive buying problems.
I’m using habitica but honestly I hate the app and there is some drama there that may make me leave. Also I have integrated all my calendars so it is all linked to my Google calendar and shows work and personal. And Trello it’s a virtual kanban board with cool integrations
I also use Trello! Been using it for a decade to track assignments for classes (at the graduate level now) and other things I need to get done - the calendar subscription is super helpful because it puts all the due dates right into my iPhone and google calendars
Im using it to keep track of buying a house with my partner (there are so many little steps) and I love being able to leave comments so I remember or so he can update me on stuff.
wooo good luck with getting the home!!
Due for the iPhone is excellent. It’s a reminder app that nags you every five minutes until you get The Thing™ done. Before I started using it, I had a problem with forgetting reminders once they appeared. This never happens anymore and I actually manage to get some things done!
I also use Due - it’s become an important part of my every day that reminds me of anything important
I find that I have to be careful and remove things that aren’t important to me any more as they change otherwise I can get alarm fatigue and start ignoring reminders though. I suspect that would be true of any system I used, though!
I use the calendar that’s built in my phone to remind me of my school schedules (where I need to go and when, I can never remeber that).
Other than that, I use a bullet journal. Not an app, but allows me to remeber some events and plan out schedules. There are bullet journal apps, but I prefer pen and paper.
Tried many things during a long life. In fact, if you are not wedded to the Microsoft platform, than google tasks, calendar, gmail, and docs can combine to a surprisingly good and rather simple solution. But recently I fell in love with obsidian. Perhaps a bit more complicated than some others, at least initially, but also much more flexible and capable. In addition, multi platform (windows, mac, linux, android, ios) and you own your data, kept on your machine, in time proof text format, rather than on some cloud server, that eventually will hold you to ransom. With other systems I have eventually run into a crippling cul-de-sac, in obsidian there always seems to be a way out. Perhaps, it is not so good for teamwork, rather for the lonesome, hyper focussed keyboard worrier. But for them, it rocks.
