About
Unstuck is a focus app built for ADHD brains, where the hard part isn't doing the work. It's starting.
SAY IT, DON'T TYPE IT Tap the big button and talk. The thought is captured before it slips. Typing is always there too.
SHRINK IT TO ONE TINY MOVE Every task gets a "first tiny move": just open the doc, type one sentence. Deciding the first step ahead of time is one of the most reliable ways to actually begin.
SEE TIME, DON'T READ IT A shrinking disk shows how much time is left, the Time Timer principle. Sessions default short (5, 10, 15 minutes) because sustained effort collapses without breaks. Go longer anytime with one tap.
CREDIT THE MOMENT YOU START Ten seconds in, Unstuck celebrates the start, because starting is the wall. Stopped early? Those minutes still count. Missed a day? Nothing breaks. There are no streaks to lose and no shame, ever.
STEADY NOISE, IF IT HELPS Brown, pink, or white noise, generated on your phone. Research shows it helps many ADHD brains and does nothing for some. Try a session with and without.
POMODORO, YOUR WAY Optional work/break rounds with the same visual timer. Skip any break, stop any time.
REMINDERS THAT DON'T NAG Set a reminder on any task with one tap (5 minutes, 1 hour, this evening, tomorrow 9am). When it arrives, you get three honest choices: do it now, later, or already done.
BRING YOUR LIST IN Paste meeting notes or any list and Unstuck finds the action items. Pick a text, Markdown, or CSV file. Copy from Apple Reminders. You approve every task before it's added.
SEE IT ON YOUR HOME SCREEN The Up Next widget shows your next task and its tiny first move. One tap starts a session.
SAY IT TO SIRI "Hey Siri, capture something in Unstuck" opens the app listening. No setup. A two-minute guide on first launch shows the widget, Siri, and Do Not Disturb setup, and lives in Settings after that.
QUIET RECAPS An optional evening note about what you actually did today, plus weekly and monthly ones. On a day you didn't focus, nothing is sent.
