todrift for ADHD
Twenty tasks on one screen can feel like a wall. todrift shows you the few that matter and lets the rest drift.
You open your list to get started, and there it is: every errand, email and half-idea, all the same size, all asking at once.
When everything looks equally urgent, picking one becomes the hard part. A lot of ADHD brains know the freeze that follows, and the phone that comes out instead.
So todrift never shows you everything at once.
Each thought floats as a soft blob. Its size comes from two things: how soon it’s due and how much it matters. Due today and important? Big and bright. Someday and low-key? Small and hazy, too small to read.
That’s on purpose. You don’t have to read, sort or decide about the small ones. Tap the biggest blob and start there.
So the first step is always obvious.
Thoughts show up at bad times: in the shower, mid-conversation, at 1am. If saving one takes five fields, it’s gone.
In todrift you type the thought and send it. A date and how much it matters are optional. Add them now, later, or never.
So nothing has to stay in your head.
Streaks break. Overdue counts climb. Red badges stack up. When starting is already hard, each of those makes the app harder to open.
todrift has none of them. A thought past its date just grows, and in the full list it says “Waiting 3 days”, not “Overdue”.
So opening the app never feels like opening a bill.
todrift is a simple to-do list. It isn’t a treatment, a coach or a planner, and it won’t break tasks into steps, run a timer or track habits for you. If those help you, they pair well with it.
What it does is keep everything you need to remember out of your head and in front of you, at the right size:
Curious about the reasoning? How todrift works shows exactly how a thought’s size is worked out.
It’s made for anyone who puts things off, and a lot of what helps there helps with ADHD too: fast capture, few decisions, no guilt. It isn’t a medical tool, and we don’t claim it treats anything.
Add as much as you like. Low-key thoughts stay small and out of the way. Finished ones move to Popped and fade on their own after 90 days, which you can change in Settings.
Only if you ask it to. The iPhone and Android apps have an optional daily reminder on days when something is due. It stays off until you switch it on.
Yes. Adding, sorting, syncing and the full list are all free. todrift Pro adds separate boards (work, home, that side project) and more themes, and you can try it free for a month.
