Time blindness isn't a character flaw. It's missing data. A few random nudges a day show where your hours actually go. Free, no account, no streaks.
Where did the last two hours go?
If you ask yourself that a lot — if whole afternoons vanish and you genuinely can't account for them — you're not broken. You just don't have the data yet. People with ADHD call it time blindness. Everyone with a phone has some version of it.
Attentionly is the honest time audit. A few times a day, at random, it taps you on the shoulder and asks one question: "What are you doing right now?" Tap your answer, and move on. Two seconds. No timers to start, no logs to maintain, no categories to obsess over.
Over time, you build a real picture of where your attention goes — not where you think it goes, and not where you wish it went.
NO SHAME. NO STREAKS. JUST DATA.
Most productivity apps assume you need to be fixed. They reward consistency, punish gaps, and pile on guilt when you miss a day. Attentionly doesn't think you need fixing. It's a mirror, not a manager — it shows you the data and trusts you to decide what it means. Missed a nudge? Fine. Missed a week? Also fine. There is no streak to protect and nothing to lose.
That matters if your brain already generates enough shame on its own. This app will never add to it.
HOW IT WORKS
• Get a few gentle nudges a day at random times — like a tap on the shoulder
• Tap what you're doing right now: a goal, life stuff, or a distraction you named
• Watch the real picture build in Insights: time distribution, time-of-day patterns, and how each goal is actually going
• Weekly gut-check per goal: one number, no lecture
DESIGNED TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY
• No streaks, badges, or gamification
• No coaching language — we don't tell you what to do
• No account, no cloud, no tracking — your data stays on your device
• Optional iCloud backup, CSV export whenever you want your data elsewhere
COMPLETELY FREE
Full functionality, no paywall, no ads, no upsells. Just an honest tool for honest self-awareness.
Attentionly is not a medical app and doesn't diagnose or treat anything. It's a mirror for your attention — ADHD-friendly by design because it never shames you and never asks for more than two seconds at a time.
