Private pilot

Start the task you've been avoiding.

A calm planning tool for founders with ADHD. 3 tasks a day, a first step you can start in under 5 minutes, and a 4-minute shutdown that lets you actually stop. It runs in your browser, works offline, and your data stays on your device.

This is the whole app
The Today screen: one task named Send the term sheet redlines, a 25-minute focus button, three next actions with the first ticked off, a 6-day streak, and three closing rings.
Today. One task at the top, its next actions under it, and a timer one tap away. No dashboard to manage.
The Ways in panel: eight routes at a stuck task, the recommended one highlighted, each with the study it stands on.
Stuck? 8 routes at the same task, ranked for that task, each carrying the study behind it.
You already know the task

It has been on the list 4 days. You know exactly what it is. You have re-read it six times and done eleven smaller things around it.

It is not that you forgot, and it is not that you do not care. Every time you look at it you pay a small cost, and it gets heavier while the work stays the same size.

Nothing in here will make you want to do it. It gets you started for 5 minutes, which is the only part that was ever hard.

How a day works
01
Pick three
Score what matters, pick 3. The rest waits. Today holds 3 tasks, never a backlog.
02
Shrink the start
Any task becomes 3–5 physical next actions. Step one takes 5 minutes or less, and the timer is 1 tap away.
03
Close the day
A 4-minute shutdown captures tomorrow’s 3, and books tomorrow’s rest before tomorrow’s work.

The science under each method
Next actionsThe tasks we put off are the vague, dread-heavy ones. Turning a task into small, physical actions removes both triggers at once.Source: Steel, “The Nature of Procrastination”, Psychological Bulletin, 2007. A meta-analysis spanning 200+ studies of why people procrastinate.
Five minutesThe dread peaks before you start, not after. Mood measurably lifts within minutes of beginning, and a begun task keeps pulling you back to finish it.Sources: Tim Pychyl’s Procrastination Research Group, Carleton University; Bluma Zeigarnik’s interrupted-task studies, 1927.
If → ThenDeciding “if X happens, I do Y” while you’re calm makes follow-through far more likely when the trigger actually arrives.Source: Gollwitzer and Sheeran, Advances in Experimental Social Psychology, 2006. A meta-analysis of 94 studies; medium-to-large effect (d = .65).
Body doublingAnother person present, even silently, raises your drive on familiar work. It’s why the hardest email finally gets written in a café.Source: Zajonc, “Social Facilitation”, Science, 1965. Applied to ADHD as body doubling in clinical practice.
TimersADHD time is invisible, so it has to be made visible: a depleting ring you can watch. And deadlines you set yourself genuinely work.Sources: Barkley, Taking Charge of Adult ADHD; Ariely and Wertenbroch, “Procrastination, Deadlines, and Performance”, Psychological Science, 2002.
SoundFor an under-stimulated brain, silence is itself a distraction. Steady noise gives a small but real lift to ADHD task performance, and does the opposite for non-ADHD brains.Sources: Söderlund, Sikström and Smart, Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2007; Nigg et al. meta-analysis of 13 randomised studies, Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, 2024.
Guaranteed restProcrastination feeds on feeling like you can never stop. Rest booked before the work, unconditionally, removes the deprivation that drives the avoiding.Source: Fiore, The Now Habit, 1989. The Unschedule method.
Self-forgivenessBeating yourself up after a slip makes the next slip more likely. Forgiving it does the opposite, which is why nothing in this app shames you.Source: Wohl, Pychyl and Bennett, “I forgive myself, now I can study”, Personality and Individual Differences, 2010.

Named, not vibes. The app’s job is to put these levers in front of you at the moment of avoidance, not in a book you read once.

Coming to Pro
A real person, not a bot. They see the three you picked each morning, expect your shutdown each evening, and check in when you go quiet. The willingness-to-pay research in this category says the same thing over and over: someone expecting you is the strongest lever there is.
Honestly: this is not built yet. Registering interest is what decides whether and how it gets built, and early registrants shape the format and set the price.
