With ADHD the hard parts are rarely writing tasks down. They’re seeing time pass, starting, and recovering when the plan slips. A good planner makes time visible, keeps the list short, and forgives a missed block instead of turning the day red.
We make Needt.So it’s listed first — weigh that. Every other app is described from its own pricing and feature pages, with the cases where it beats us. Spotted a mistake? hello@needt.app

How we picked
- Time you can see Tasks as blocks on a timeline, not an endless list.
- Recovery after a slip Missed tasks should move somewhere sensible without a guilt pile.
- Low setup The fewer decisions it asks for each morning, the more likely you’ll keep using it.
- Price and free plan Try it for real before paying.
