Overview
ClearDay — Focus, one thing at a time.
ClearDay is a daily productivity app built specifically for adults with ADHD. While every other planner was designed for neurotypical brains, ClearDay works with your brain — not against it.
No overwhelming task lists. No guilt. No complicated setup.
Just one task at a time, a brain dump for racing thoughts, a focus timer that keeps you on track, and a wins wall that proves how much you actually accomplish.
Mission
You are building a mobile app called ClearDay —
a daily life operating system designed specifically
for adults with ADHD.

THE CORE INSIGHT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Every productivity app fails people with ADHD because
they were built for neurotypical brains. They require
too many steps to start a task, have no concept of
time blindness, and offer zero dopamine reward
for completion. ClearDay is built around how ADHD
brains actually work: friction must be near-zero,
tasks must feel small and winnable, and the app
must meet the user where they are — not demand
they come to it.

TARGET USER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Adults aged 18–45 diagnosed with ADHD (or
self-identifying) who have tried and abandoned
Notion, Todoist, Google Calendar, and every
other productivity app because none of them
stick.
