Decision paralysis
An open list means every glance is a fresh decision, and the decision itself is exhausting.
→Do. names one main focus for the day and orders everything else behind it.
Built for ADHD brains
Your list isn't the problem. Starting is.
Do. is an AI daily planner for people whose to-do app has never been the thing that was broken. It names one focus instead of showing a list, splits what is too big to start, estimates how long things take, and never once mentions a streak.

Why to-do apps fail ADHD brains
Conventional to-do apps solve capture — lists, reminders, checkboxes — and capture was never the blocker. They assume that once a task is written down you can start it, which for ADHD is precisely the step that fails. So the list grows, each item becomes slightly more expensive to look at, and the app quietly turns into a record of everything you have not done.
Do. was designed the other way round. Everything below is a specific blocker with a specific mechanism against it, not a general promise to be more productive.
Tasks too big to start
"Sort out the taxes" is not a task, it is a project wearing a task costume — so it never begins.
→Do. breaks it into steps small enough that starting requires no planning.
Time blindness
Everything is either five minutes or forever, which makes a realistic day impossible to plan.
→Do. estimates every task, and shows when a day is overloaded before you live it.
The bad week spiral
One missed day breaks a streak, the streak breaks the habit, and the app gets deleted.
→Do. has no streaks. It rebuilds your plan the next morning without comment.
Losing what you captured
Ideas land in a dozen places and the inbox becomes another thing to triage.
→Do. files new items into the right project automatically, so capture stays cheap.
Getting stuck mid-task
Momentum disappears halfway through and there is nobody to ask what comes next.
→Do. has an AI coach you can ask, with a tone you choose rather than one imposed.
What Do. does not do
Worth being straight about, because ADHD tooling is full of overclaiming. Do. is not a treatment, it does not diagnose anything, and it will not make a task you are dreading enjoyable. It also will not fix a day that was overloaded before you opened it — although it will show you that it was. What it does is narrow: it removes the decisions between you and starting.
Honest note on cost
The app is free and the free tier stays free. The AI runs on your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini key, so you pay that provider directly — a small monthly amount at typical planning volumes. A managed option that needs no key of your own is planned but is not available yet, and we would rather say so than let you find out after installing.
Questions
What makes a to-do app work for ADHD?
A to-do app works for ADHD when it removes decisions rather than adding them. Four things matter most: it names a single next action instead of showing a full list, so there is nothing to choose between; it breaks large tasks into steps small enough to start without planning; it attaches time estimates, because time blindness makes everything feel either instant or impossible; and it recovers silently after a missed day instead of punishing it with a broken streak. Most task apps do none of these — they are storage, and storage was never the blocker.
Why do normal to-do apps fail people with ADHD?
Normal to-do apps assume that once a task is written down, you can start it. For ADHD brains that assumption is exactly backwards: writing it down is the easy part, and starting is the wall. A conventional app then makes things worse in three ways — an open-ended list forces a fresh decision every time you open it, big vague tasks sit there unstartable for weeks, and streak and karma mechanics turn a bad week into a reason to abandon the app entirely.
How does Do. help with task paralysis?
Do. addresses task paralysis by removing the choice. Each morning it names one main focus rather than presenting a list to triage, so the first decision is already made. When a task is too vague or too large to start — the usual cause of paralysis — Do. breaks it into concrete steps, and starting a five-minute step is a much smaller ask than starting a project. Its AI coach can also be asked directly what to do next when you are stuck.
Does Do. help with time blindness?
Yes. Do. puts an AI time estimate on every task, which is the direct counter to time blindness — the difficulty in sensing how long something will take or how much time has passed. Seeing that a dreaded task is fifteen minutes rather than an unbounded stretch often removes the avoidance on its own, and estimates on the whole day make it obvious when you have planned nine hours of work into an afternoon.
Does Do. use guilt, streaks, or gamification?
No. Do. has no streaks to break, no karma score, and no guilt badges. Streak mechanics work for people who were mostly going to be consistent anyway; for ADHD they typically produce a strong start, one missed day, and a deleted app. Miss a day in Do. and it simply rebuilds your plan the next morning as if nothing happened, because that is the behaviour that survives a bad week.
Is Do. free for ADHD users?
Do. is free to download on the App Store and Google Play, with a free tier that stays free — no trial period and no credit card. The AI features run on your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini key, which for daily planning costs a very small amount billed by that provider. Nothing described on this page sits behind a paywall.
