It depends on where you get stuck. To start a task: Hindigo. To see and plan your day: Tiimo or Structured. To break down a task now and then: Goblin Tools. To stay focused next to someone: Focusmate. To understand your ADHD through a program: Inflow. To capture and organize: Todoist.

No. These apps are tools that compensate for specific mechanisms (starting, organizing, time, focus). They don't diagnose anything and don't replace medical care.
An app focused on task initiation rather than organization. That’s what Hindigo does: it shrinks the task to one tiny step you can do right now, and never shows you a list.
