The to-do app for brains that freeze when the task is too big.

AI breaks any task into 10-30 minute steps so start isn’t the hardest part. Built for ADHD brains. iOS + Android.

Would you pay $6/month for this?

First 50 beta slots. Built by a solo dev with ADHD. Your email stays in the beta-only list, no marketing blasts, unsubscribe anywhere.

Three promises

1. Split big tasks

One sentence in. 5-7 atomic steps out. The “where do I start?” moment, gone.

Type “file my taxes” and Startiny returns “1. Find last year’s return (15 min) · 2. Pull W-2 from email (10 min) · 3. Open TurboTax draft (5 min)…” You don’t plan the work. You start step 1.

2. Time that’s actually yours

Estimate any task. The app learns how long things actually take YOU. After a week, the numbers stop lying.

Generic productivity apps assume your brain works like the engineer who built it. This one watches your real completions and quietly recalibrates the estimates. “30 min” that always took you 90 stops saying 30.

3. Streaks without shame

Bad day? Tap a chip — hard day, life stuff, forgot to open — and the streak adjusts. No guilt wall.

Most apps treat one missed day as failure. ADHD brains don’t need a reminder they failed; they need a path back. Startiny’s streak forgives up to 3 reclaim days a month so you can have a Tuesday and still come back Wednesday.

Quick answers

When does this ship?

Beta opens May 16, 2026 (closed cohort, waitlist order). Public launch summer 2026.

Why ADHD-specific?

Generic productivity apps assume working memory works, deadlines feel real, and big tasks are doable as written. ADHD brains often have none of those. Startiny is designed assuming the opposite is true: leaky memory, fuzzy time, freezes on vague tasks. Different defaults — a different product.

What about my data?

Your task data stays on your phone (SQLite, no cloud sync in v1). The AI features go through our proxy with strict rate limits and no logging of your content. The only thing on this server is the email you give us here, and we use it only to invite you to the beta.
