Squirrel: ADHD Task Manager

You know exactly what you need to do. You just can't make yourself start. That's not laziness — it's ADHD executive dysfunction, and "just focus" never fixed it. Squirrel is the shame-free ADHD task manager built around how your brain actually works: on energy and mood, not willpower. Downloaded ten to-do list apps and abandoned all ten? This ADHD planner is different. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ BUILT FOR ADHD, EXECUTIVE DYSFUNCTION & TASK PARALYSIS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Most task apps assume you can pick what to work on. ADHD brains often can't — that's not a willpower failure, it's how executive function works. Squirrel solves task paralysis, decision fatigue, and time blindness by letting you filter your to-do list by your current vibe: ⚡ High energy — tasks that need it 🧸 Cozy — low-stakes things for tired days 🪶 Low friction — so easy you can't say no ✨ Need a win — quick dopamine hits 🎯 Hyperfocus — deep work when you're locked in ⏱ 5 minutes — tiny tasks for narrow attention windows Pick the mood, not the priority. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT'S INSIDE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🧠 BRAIN DUMP — Friction-free capture for fleeting thoughts. Type or speak half-formed ideas, triage later. Stop losing them to ADHD working memory leaks. 💎 DOPAMINE MENU — A personal menu of small reset activities. When you're stuck, Squirrel suggests one. External dopamine for ADHD brains that don't make enough internally. 🌿 OVERWHELM RESCUE — One tap hides the task list and shows a calming breathing animation with body-care prompts. For when the list itself becomes the problem. 🍅 FOCUS TIMER + BODY DOUBLE MODE — A Pomodoro-style focus timer with optional body double mode: ambient public-space audio that simulates working alongside someone. Body doubling is a proven ADHD technique for reducing task initiation friction. 📅 CALENDAR INTEGRATION — Today's events float above your task list so you can pair tasks with free time blocks. Read-only — never writes to your calendar. ⏰ IMPLEMENTATION INTENTIONS — Pre-decide when or after-what you'll start. A psychology-backed technique that makes follow-through 2–3× more likely. 🌧 FOCUS AUDIO LIBRARY — 18 sounds for focus, concentration, and study: brown noise, pink noise, white noise, green noise, binaural beats at 432 Hz, forest sounds, rain, thunder, river, and park ambience for body doubling. 🔥 GENTLE STREAKS WITH GRACE DAYS — Miss a day? Your streak is forgiven once a week. Built not to punish the days life gets in the way. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHO IT'S FOR ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✓ ADHD adults who've bounced off every productivity app ✓ People with executive dysfunction or task paralysis ✓ Neurodivergent folks who hate streak-shame and toxic productivity ✓ Anyone whose energy and focus vary day-to-day ✓ Students, professionals, parents, freelancers, creatives ✓ Anyone managing too many mental tabs Works whether you're diagnosed, self-diagnosed, undiagnosed, or ADHD-adjacent. Helpful for ADD, autism, anxiety, depression, and chronic illness brains too. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PRICING — NO SUBSCRIPTIONS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 7-day free trial of everything. No card required.
