ADHD-friendly
An ADHD-friendly productivity app for adults
Built for brains that need to see progress.
Producticity turns the work you finish into a growing 3D city. Missed days cost nothing, each day asks for one Keystone instead of a long list, and work you finish in the tools you already use can arrive as XP without logging it twice.

What makes Producticity ADHD-friendly
We designed it for reward-driven adults who keep abandoning planners, and many of the people we design for have ADHD. These are the choices that came out of that: what the app does, not what it promises.
Nothing is ever taken away
No XP is ever deducted and buildings never decay. The one exception is a task you un-tick within 24 hours, which gives back the XP it earned, so a mis-tap doesn't count.
One Keystone, not a long list
Each day asks for one Keystone: the one thing that makes today count. Finishing it earns 150 XP, and planning tomorrow's the night before earns 30.
Rain Days cover missed days
You earn a Rain Day for every 7 good days and can bank 2. When you miss a day, one is spent automatically: there's nothing to remember to switch on.
XP arrives from the tools you already use
Connect a task app or calendar (a Supply Line) and the work you finish there arrives as XP on its own. There's no second list to keep up to date.
Coming back is easy
After time away you see “Your city waited”: what's still standing and any Rain Days used. Never a lost streak, never a guilt message.
Progress you can see
Every XP adds to the building under construction, every 30 focus minutes light a window, and each level adds a building. Momentum, the daily bonus on focus and Keystone XP, resets at midnight and never drops because of a slip.
Calm motion and legible type
If your device is set to reduce motion, the city stops drifting and holds still, and interface transitions switch off. Body text is set in Atkinson Hyperlegible Next, a typeface designed for legibility.
Low effort to start
Sign-up is designed to get your first floor built in under five minutes: name your city, pick a starter plan, tell it one thing you've already done today.
ADHD planner set-ups that work without buying anything
You don't need Producticity for any of these. Paper, a notes app or the task app you already have will do. Each one ends with where it lives in Producticity, if you want it built in.
One Keystone a day
Before you stop for the day, choose the one thing that would make tomorrow count and write it where you'll see it first: a sticky note, the top of your task app, your lock screen. Tomorrow, that one thing is the whole plan. Anything else you finish is a bonus.
In Producticity it's the Keystone, with a slot to plan tomorrow's.
Let your task app do the logging
Don't keep a second list of what you did. Most task apps keep the tasks you've completed; at the end of the day, look at that instead of what's left. Done is the record.
In Producticity, a connected Supply Line turns those completed tasks into XP without you entering anything.
Decide what a missed day costs: nothing
Set the rule before you need it: a missed day doesn't reset anything, and the next day starts normally. If you track a habit on paper, leave the box empty and carry on, rather than starting the count again.
In Producticity, Rain Days and “Your city waited” are this rule, built in.
Work in short, fixed blocks
Pick a length (25 minutes is a common start), set a timer, and when it ends mark one block done: a tick on paper is enough. Counting blocks shows progress even on a day when the task isn't finished.
In Producticity that's a Build Block of 25, 50 or 90 minutes, and each 30 minutes lights a window.
Size tasks honestly
Tag quick jobs as quick and big ones as big. A day of small finished things is still a day of finished things, and seeing that is the point.
In Producticity, tasks are Quick, Normal or Big (10, 20 or 40 XP); a “quick” label or priority 1 in Todoist sets the size for you.
The tools it reads from
Each connected tool is a Supply Line. Producticity only reads from them, and a synced task earns the same XP as one ticked in the app, up to 400 XP a day.

What it doesn't do
- Producticity isn't a medical product or a treatment, and nothing on this page is medical advice. If ADHD is affecting your life, talk to your GP or another qualified professional.
- Points, levels and buildings are the whole idea. If game rewards don't motivate you, it may not suit you, and a plain list or paper planner might work better.
- Habit streak counters can still restart if you miss more days than your banked Rain Days cover. Your XP and buildings never go.
- Not every Supply Line is switched on yet (the list above says which), and the health line for steps and sleep is a beta.
Questions
- Is Producticity an ADHD app?
- It's ADHD-friendly: designed for adults who need to see progress and who tend to give up on planners, and many of the people we design for have ADHD. It isn't a medical product, it isn't a treatment, and it makes no health claims.
- Is Todoist ADHD-friendly?
- That depends on you, and we don't make Todoist. A plain list is quick to add to, but a long one can feel heavy. Two things help with any list: keep one task as the day's Keystone, and treat the completed list as your record. Producticity's Todoist Supply Line, which reads your completed tasks (read-only) and turns them into XP, isn't switched on yet. Producticity isn't made by, affiliated with or endorsed by Todoist.
- What happens if I miss a day?
- Nothing is taken away. A banked Rain Day is spent automatically (you earn one for every 7 good days, up to 2), and when you come back you see what's still standing. Buildings never decay.
- Do I have to log everything by hand?
- No. Work you finish in a connected tool arrives as XP on its own; synced tasks earn up to 400 XP a day. Build Blocks, habits and the Keystone take a tap or two in the app.
- Can I turn off the motion?
- Yes. Producticity follows your device's reduce-motion setting: the city holds still and interface transitions switch off.
- Is it available in the UK?
- Yes. Producticity is made by Bednal Limited, a company registered in England and Wales. It's a web app, so it runs in the browser on a phone or computer; a native iOS app is in development.
