Finish what matters, without the fight.
ADHD isn't a willpower problem — it's working memory, time blindness, and motivation that won't hold still. Tide carries those for you: it holds your thoughts, makes time visible, shrinks tasks until they're startable, and keeps your why in view.
No credit card. Your data stays yours.
Today: at most three things, and a Focus button on each.
One calm loop, four moves
Empty your head
One always-there capture box. Thoughts go in, your working memory stays free. Nothing gets lost between sessions.
Pick just three
Commit to at most three tasks a day. Yesterday's leftovers get a guilt-free fresh start — never a red badge.
Shrink the task
One tap breaks any task into tiny, startable steps — small enough that beginning stops being the hard part.
Focus with time you can see
A full-screen timer that shows time as a shrinking ring, with your long-term why right beside you while you work.
WhatsApp companion · private beta
It comes to you.
An app you have to remember to open can't carry your memory for you. So Tide messages you on WhatsApp: a calm brief in the morning, a nudge when it's routine time, one question at night. Reply in plain words — your three for the day, tonight's win — and it lands in the app.
No exclamation marks, no “you missed…”, no guilt. Reply STOP any time. It's in a small beta while we get the messaging right — ask for access from Settings.

Designed around how ADHD actually works
Time you can see
Time blindness is real: clocks are abstract, so Tide shows time as shape and color — an ambient ring you feel without checking.
No shame mechanics
No streaks to break, no overdue red. Emotion regulation is part of ADHD, not a side effect — so Tide celebrates what you did and quietly resets what you didn't.
Anchored to your why
Every task can link to a long-term anchor with the reason it matters to you, shown while you focus. Motivation needs meaning, not pressure.
