Stuck before you even start?
Hindigo gives you the first step.
A blocked intention becomes a tiny, immediately actionable step, calibrated to your current energy. Never a list. Never a choice to make. Only one hindigo visible at a time.
With ADHD, it's not a lack of tools. It's a task initiation problem.
Hindigo is an Android app designed for adults with ADHD, or without a diagnosis, who get stuck when it's time to start a task.
Knowing what to do has never been the problem. The blockage occurs before that—at the moment of starting. Traditional planners demand the very act that paralyzes: sitting down, organizing, choosing where to begin. They add a step to an already stalled engine.
Hindigo doesn't ask you to organize anything. It removes the decision: each time you open it, one tiny step, calibrated to what you have at hand right now—not to what you ideally should be able to do.

Tools to get started right now
Don't feel like typing? Show it.
Facing a messy desk or a room to tidy, describing what needs doing already costs the energy you had left to act. With HindigoShot, you take a photo. Hindigo looks and tells you where to start.
The photo isn't kept: it's used for the analysis, then discarded.

Hindigo and other ADHD apps: each has its moment
| Application | Helps when | Does well | Platform |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hindigo | At the moment you're stuck, without opening anything else | A concrete first step, and memory from one time to the next | Android |
| Goblin Tools | When you think to ask it for a breakdown | Fast breakdowns, zero friction to try | Web |
| Tiimo | To visualize your day before it starts | Visual planning, a sense of time passing | Web and mobile |
| Todoist | When you already know what to do and just need to jot it down | Fast, universal, synced everywhere | Web and mobile |
What you share with Hindigo stays yours.
Stored on your phone
Your intentions, your hindigos and your history stay in a local database. Nothing is synced to a server.
Nothing archived on the AI side
The text sent for the breakdown is processed on the fly, then discarded. No database keeps it.
No banking data
The subscription goes entirely through Google Play. Hindigo never sees your payment details.

What we're asked most often
Which ADHD app helps when you can't get started on a task?
One that targets task initiation rather than organization. Hindigo never shows you a list: it turns the task you're stuck on into one tiny step you can do right now, then gives you the next one once it's done.
Is there an ADHD app to help you tidy up when you don't know where to start?
Yes: with HindigoShot, you take a photo of the messy room or desk, without having to describe what needs doing. Hindigo suggests a first step, or a Battle Plan with the steps and how long they take. The photo isn't kept.
Is Hindigo an alternative to Goblin Tools?
More of a complement. Goblin Tools breaks a task down when you ask it to, in a browser. Hindigo hands you the first step at the moment you're stuck, on your phone, and remembers where you left off next time.
How do I stop procrastinating on a task that's blocking me?
Generally, the problem isn't motivation but the size of the first step. Hindigo reduces the task to a single, tiny, immediately actionable step, calibrated to your current energy—not to a method or a deadline. Once that step is done, the next one appears.
Am I procrastinating, or do I have ADHD?
Everyone procrastinates sometimes—it becomes a real signal when the blockage affects almost all tasks, even simple, low-stakes ones, and traditional organizational methods haven't changed anything for a long time. This is neither a diagnosis nor a replacement for medical advice, but Hindigo is designed to help in both cases: the task initiation mechanism it removes is the same, whether the blockage stems from ADHD or not.
Is there an app designed for ADHD and starting block?
Yes: Hindigo is specifically designed for task initiation, a central challenge in ADHD (executive functions). The app doesn't diagnose anything and isn't a substitute for medical supervision—it's a tool that removes the decision at the moment of starting.
What's the difference between a to-do list and Hindigo?
A to-do list shows everything at once and forces you to choose where to start—it's often that choice that causes the block. Hindigo never displays a list: only one step is visible at a time, never an entire plan.
Does Hindigo use artificial intelligence?
Yes: an AI breaks the task you're stuck on into a concrete first step, or analyzes the photo with HindigoShot. It suggests, you decide: it never chooses for you, and you can always ask for another step. The text and photos you send aren't kept after the analysis.
Is Hindigo a coach or therapy?
No. Hindigo is a tool, not a coach or therapy, and makes no therapeutic promises. It solely addresses the friction of starting an already identified task.
