1-on-1 ADHD coaching to help you focus, follow through, and feel in control.
Shimmer provides 'bite sized' ADHD coaching to people with ADHD or executive function challenges. Shimmer was born from a group of ADHD coaches, psychiatrists, doctors, and engineers to create a personalized, ACTION-oriented playground for you and your coach to explore.
We're not another list, calendar, or app: we're REAL human interactions paired with expert strategies and experimentation, so that you can make real changes in your life. Oh, and we also have ADHD too!
Shimmer is for people with ADHD or struggling with executive function challenges. We’re for those who are ready to make a change and take real action to reach their goals. We’re for those ready to put in the work. Typically our members fall into 3 categories:
1. are newly diagnosed or looking to understand their ADHD better: we provide psycho-education and guidance for you to understand ADHD & how it impacts your life
2. have concrete executive function skills they’d like to improve on and are looking for guidance to follow through: we provide the critical knowledge, resources, guidance, support, and accountability so that you actually implement the changes (routines, skills, tools) that will help you reach your goals
3. know they can achieve more and aren’t living at their potential: we use an ACT-based methodology to help you identify your values and help you live in line with them
Our ADHD coaches partner with you to co-design a plan to achieve your goals. You'll experiment with strategies on a weekly basis to implement a routine fit specifically for YOU. Our program has been designed off science-backed methods in partnership with NYU, UC Berkeley, and UCSF.
- Attend weekly 1:1 check-ins with your coach
- Personalized plan each week catered to you
- Experiment with tailored skills, strategies, and routines
- Text-based accountability check-ins throughout the week from your coach
- Learn ADHD skills and tips through bite-sized learning modules
The biggest value we’ve heard from our members are:
- An expert ADHD coach that knows ADHD inside out and understands them
- An accountability partner to hold them to what they said they’d do
- Someone to help them break down big tasks to feel less overwhelmed
- Guidance to navigate the sea of content and resources out there
- Personalized positive reinforcement, support and celebration of the little things
- Weekly cadence to make baby steps for changes in their life
- An affordable alternative to traditional ADHD coaching that fits into their life
Our coaches are specialized in taking an ADHD-adapted approach to coaching and are skilled at helping you navigate life’s ups and downs. Not sure if you’re in the right place? Our members come to use and are working on:
- Understanding their ADHD
- Feeling they’re not living up to their full potential
- Goal setting & habit building
- Creating routines & schedules
- Feelings of overwhelm, paralysis, and inability to turn brain off
- Issues with self-esteem and negative self-talk
- Inability to focus during working hours
- Holding themselves accountable to changes, challenging “excuse” thoughts
- Task initiation
- Being more productive
Most of our members have ADHD but you don’t need to be formally diagnosed to use Shimmer. We help all sorts of individuals with ADHD-related symptoms like executive function challenges, goal-setting, and living a fuller life!

I can honestly say finding this app is like finding the mentor/guide/teacher that you’ve always wanted. It has already changed my life in so many ways after just one month in, the learning modules, the visuals, the coaching sessions, the logical and easy to follow layout (also cute! Which makes it a pleasure to use). As someone with muddled thinking (recently realized I’ve had adhd all along but thought I was just chaotic or “bad” at follow-through), the app makes the things I want to do so much clearer, like I have a friend guiding me along and cheering my wins. The cost is a stretch, but more affordable than working with an adhd coach, and offers SO much more with daily body doubling sessions, learning modules, and a way to define your goals and life plan out in a way that has shifted my fundamental understanding of myself and my ability to make my dreams a reality. The app is the tool, but beyond that it’s made by real people with big generous dreams who are creating a community. Honestly, it’s an amazing app, the best discovery. I 1000% recommend.

Hidden ADHD Gem
Smokinfrenchman
I’m honestly shocked this app doesn’t have more reviews yet. This is the hidden gem of ADHD apps right now, like Coffee Meets bagel is for online dating. I discovered this by asking chatGPT what was the best ADHD coaching I could get in the US right now. You can tell that the creator had a clear, modern vision toward the experience using her own experiences with ADHD to create a helpful product that drives intention, clarity and focus. The result is an experience superior over having to waste time finding, scheduling and getting intros with countless independent ADHD coaches that are frankly overpriced, package pushers before proving their worth, and lack modern tech like this to track progress. This is finally what the ADHD community deserves, affordable and accessible live coaching for the middle class.
Developer Response

It means the world to hear that the vision and intention behind Shimmer are resonating—especially from someone who found us through ChatGPT!We deeply believe that ADHD support should be accessible, modern, and genuinely helpful—and we're so glad that’s been your experience. Your feedback energizes us to keep building something the ADHD community truly deserves. Thank you for being part of it—we’re so lucky to have you with us! ✨

The app and ADHD coach I didn’t know I needed
Judifer
I love how this app is designed and I finally have a to-do list that is aesthetically-pleasing! They have thoughtfully designed this with regular feedback (they even reached out to ask me about my onboarding process and thoughts on the app), and I love using this to keep track of my personal goals. I’m so productive at work yet in my personal life feel disorganized. Meeting with an ADHD coach weekly who sees and celebrates my small wins has been empowering, and even if I didn’t do a very good job of completing tasks I set out to do it is helpful to adjust my tasks/goals based on what is relevant and motivating for me.
Developer Response

We're honored to be part of your journey and so grateful you’re here with us! ✨
