Beginbeat is a tiny tool for one of the hardest moments in an ADHD brain: actually starting the thing. Task initiation is its own executive-function problem. You can plan, you can know what to do, you can even WANT to do it — and still sit there frozen, scrolling, dreading. Beginbeat is a single-purpose start ritual designed for that exact moment. THE LOOP Type the stuck task in one line: "Pay phone bill." "Reply to Mike." "Clean kitchen counter." Tap Begin. A 60-second countdown plays with a haptic ring on the screen and a Live Activity on your Lock Screen. Below the ring you see one short line — your "smallest first step" — generated on device by Apple's Foundation Models when your device supports it, or pulled from Beginbeat's built-in library when it doesn't. At 0:00 you feel a soft success burst. You can stop there, or tap a 2-, 5-, or 10-minute focus block to keep the wind in your sails. Beginbeat logs that you started, and tracks your day streak. WHAT IT'S NOT No body-doubling partner. No video. No social feed. No accounts. No leaderboards. No ads. No subscriptions. No cloud. No analytics. Nothing leaves your phone. WHY 60 SECONDS Long enough that you have time to put your phone down, sit up, and look at the next physical action. Short enough that "I'll just start the timer" is a real thought you can have. The countdown isn't a productivity ritual — it's a permission slip. WHY THE MICRO-STEP When initiation freezes you, "do the dishes" is too big. "Put one dish in the sink and turn on the water" isn't. Beginbeat asks Apple's on-device language model for one concrete, body-sized first action. If the model isn't available or isn't supported on your device, Beginbeat ships a hand-tuned library of fallback steps indexed to the verb in your task. The experience is identical to you either way. LIVE ACTIVITY When the countdown is running, a small Live Activity sits on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island so you can see the seconds tick down without unlocking. The Live Activity is updated locally on the device — Beginbeat does not connect to push servers and does not require any push entitlement. If your device doesn't support Live Activities, the in-app ring still runs. SETTINGS YOU CAN TUNE - Countdown length: 45, 60, or 90 seconds - Haptic intensity: 0 to 100 percent - Haptic ticks: on or off - Micro-step style: first physical action / mindset reframe / surprise me - Day rollover hour - Erase all history SIRI / SHORTCUTS "Beginbeat pay phone bill." Siri opens the app with your task pre-filled and the timer ready. PRIVACY Nothing leaves your phone. No accounts. No tracking. No SDKs. UserDefaults JSON, capped at 30 days of started tasks, 500-task hard ceiling. Erase any time. ONE TIME, $0.99. NO SUBSCRIPTION. Buy it once. It works forever. For the moments you can't start.

Beginbeat 1.1 - Dread Check-in - Before the countdown starts, a five-emoji panel asks how much you're dreading the task (Low A lot). One tap or Skip. Takes two seconds. - Dread Gap Insight - After rating dread and relief on 3 tasks, the Streak tab shows your Dread Gap card: average dread before, average relief after, the gap between them, and how often tasks felt better than feared. Research shows surfacing this gap directly reduces future avoidance. - Relief Rating After Starting - The post-task sheet now includes a five-emoji relief scale (Rough Great) so you can see how tasks actually felt vs. how you expected them to feel. Each rated task row in history shows an emoji badge (e.g., ). - Quick Re-begin - Tap the circular arrow on any past task in the Streak tab to instantly reload it into the Begin field. No retyping. - Your Patterns - After 5 starts, the Streak tab shows your best day of the week, best time of day, average starts per active day, and a weekday bar chart. - Post-session Notes - Optional "How did it go?" prompt after every countdown or focus block. Expand inline in history. - 25-minute Pomodoro block added alongside 2/5/10 minutes.
