ADHD Day Planner - Soft Start

Made for brains that don't do rigid plans. One tiny first step, an energy-aware day, and a rescue button for when things slip. No streaks. No guilt. Free to start.

Soft Start is the calm day planner built for ADHD brains. It turns messy thoughts into a gentle, realistic plan, hands you one tiny first step, and rescues your day with one tap when things slip. No streaks. No red badges. No guilt.

SOUND FAMILIAR? You know exactly what you need to do. You just can't start. Lists grow until they are scary. Planners punish you the moment you fall behind. So the app gets deleted, and the guilt stays.

Soft Start is designed for that exact brain. Not the brain you wish you had. The one you actually have, on your hardest days.

BRAIN DUMP Pour out everything in your head, typing or talking. AI turns the mess into clear tasks with friendly names, honest time estimates, and energy costs. You review and approve everything before it lands on your day.

BREAK IT DOWN Tap a scary task and it splits into tiny steps, each under 10 minutes, with the easiest one marked "start here". Then "just start for 2 minutes" gets you moving. Starting is the whole battle. Soft Start helps you win it.

ENERGY-AWARE PLANNING A quick morning check-in asks how your battery really is. Every task costs energy dots, and a gentle bar warns you before your day becomes fiction. Calendar meetings quietly shrink the budget so plans stay honest.

NOW & NEXT The top of your day shows exactly one thing: what is happening now, with a soft countdown. Never a wall of tasks.

RESCUE MY DAY. FREE, FOREVER. Day went sideways? One tap kindly replans what is left and suggests what to let go of. Letting go counts as a win here.

WINS, NOT STREAKS Finishing something, getting in the door on something hard, emptying your head, and letting go all become wins. Your "days shown up" count only ever grows, and days away never erase it. Quiet days get silence, never guilt. This is the anti-streak.

CALM FOCUS MODE A soft full-screen timer with your current step. It follows you to the lock screen and Dynamic Island, so leaving the app never loses the thread.
