Startodo: To Do & Priority 4+

The nudges feature is life changing when it works! It has SO much flexibility to be able to create a sequence or a schedule where you can have a voice tell you what you are supposed to be doing and how much time is left. The feature has way more flexibility in setting it up than any other app I can find, and it actually looks nice! I can think of infinite uses for this feature and would use it all the time, except that it is sometimes unreliable. Sometimes if I play music or a podcast while it’s running, it will work fine and still announce things, but most of the time it either stops the music entirely or it just stops announcing. I can’t figure out any rhyme or reason. Also, if I create an all day schedule of nudges (like 8 hours with 8+ nudges), it will stop after a few hours. I will be having the most productive day and then suddenly it’s the afternoon, I have lost track of time, and I realize that at some point Startodo stopped announcing things. This unreliability is the one thing that keeps me from getting the pro version. I keep looking for other apps, and none of them compare, so I’m just hoping that one day, this one will be updated to be more reliable!

Actolist seems to be a relatively easy-to-use task and goal-setting app. Not sure if it syncs to Apple Calendar. Need to use it some more to see if it warrants the rather-pricy one-time purchase fee (no to subscriptions). I like the icons and ability to add photos, links, etc. to each task.

Executive functioning….
Two long words that have a huge impact on the lives of those affected by attention deficit disorder. If you are looking for an application that will help you in your day-to-day life this is the one for you. To put it briefly but on point, don’t waste hours looking through applications trying to find the right one that’s going to help you get things done in a productive manner, with little thought that must go into it. Lucky you you stumbled upon it already. If I were you I would download this today and then take the time to use the examples that are ingrained within the app they are wonderfully helpful.
I want to personally thank the developers for making this. As a mother of four children who has suffered with attention deficit disorder her entire life, Who also has children that have ADHD…. This app has become the answer to many of my prayers thank you thank you so much. ~ Jennifer
