Manage ADHD With These Helpful Apps

Get a hand staying on track of your routines, schedule, and pressing responsibilities.

By adding structure through routines, focus, time management, task tracking, and more, these apps can help everyone’s day-to-day go a bit more smoothly, and they’re especially useful for those who absorb information differently.


Build healthy habits

Maybe you’re a chores-in-the-morning, self-care-in-the-afternoon kind of person. This tracker helps you break up your habits by time of day.

With RoutineFlow, plan out recurring activities and stay on task with the app’s step-by-step guidance. You can easily skip or modify your task order directly from the timer screen.

Keep your space clutter-free with this handy chore organizer. It lets you set up recurring tasks by room and reminds you when it’s time to tidy.


Wrangle tasks

Chat with Tiimo’s AI co-planner to shift appointments and quickly add items to your calendar or to-do list. The app also uses AI to break down big to-dos into smaller subtasks.

This minimalist task manager offers a simple calendar view that gives you a high-level rundown of your day. Its color-coded list of to-dos helps make sense of it all.

If categorizing your projects with subtasks is a priority, try Todoist. It also lets you get granular with task boards, labels, priority flags, and more.

Habitica gamifies your to-dos. Each completed task earns you gold, experience, and adorable items—and helps you get closer to a new level.


Manage your time

Set multiple timers to focus and track your productivity with Flipd. Want to feel more connected as you work? Live timers let you get in the zone alongside others in the Flipd community.

Prefer to do all your deep-focus work on Monday mornings and read novels on Wednesday evenings? Focus Keeper sets and tracks recurring agenda items for specific days of the week.


Block distractions

Manage your productivity by setting times of the day you can access certain apps (or categories of apps).

Freedom goes a step further by allowing you to block specific web domains so you can’t access certain sites in your browser.

This focus timer uses an unlikely reward to help you avoid distractions: Helping the animated Bean finish its knitting. Turn on the app’s Deep Focus Mode to block other apps while it knits.


Visualize your schedule

See your tasks and calendar appointments as a beautiful timeline in Structured. The app helpfully lets you add to-dos or modify your schedule via an AI chatbot.

With Weel, calendars are mapped on a pie chart so you can see at a glance how much of your day is booked.


Sounds for focus

This App Store Award winner generates focus- and sleep-friendly music on the fly based on where you are, the time of day, and your movement.

Dark Noise offers a variety of ambient sounds. Choose a coffee shop soundtrack while you’re working, then switch to a nature soundscape with a timer to fall asleep.

This music app optimizes tracks for those with ADHD. For example, music can be adjusted to accommodate those sensitive to sound.
