ADHD-Friendly AI Task Manager 🧠

If you just want a simple task management app that lives inside of your AI chat, either cloud cowork, CLAUDE Code, GPT Work, or Codex, this might be something that you can utilize.

And this is designed for those who either have ADHD are overwhelmed by the amount of information that traditional task apps show on any given screen.

So it's meant to be minimalistic as much as possible.

The way that this came about was I met somebody who has ADHD and created a similar app.

And how it works is that you can only have up to three priorities by default at a time.

So when you want to work on something else, you physically have to move one of the cards away and off of the current work list in order to move something else into it so that you can focus on finishing a few tasks at a time.

So when you install this app, it's going to be in a zip file so you can upload it into your system.

If you're using Claude code, or if you're using GPT Work or Codex, you can simply point it to this download how, and then instruct it to install it for you.

So it's going to take you through an onboarding flow where it shows you okay if you have any new tasks or new priorities, you can add new ideas by clicking this button.

These are your current priorities.

By default you can add up to three, but you can change that as well.

Anywhere between one and six priorities.

Of the tasks that you have on your list.

You can further click into that task to open up a focus window so you see only that one thing and can focus on that.

And then once you've marked something as done, it's nice that you're going to be able to see a full list of all the things that you've completed and hopefully feel a sense of accomplishment by doing so.

well.

And you've also got settings so that you can make any adjustments to number of priorities, confetti that shows when you complete a card, etc.

So let's take a look at this.

Now we have a few example priorities right now and a backlog of 23 items.

Now this is hidden by default because it is incredibly overwhelming to see all of these different cards.

And these are obviously just examples.

But if I wanted to take one of these and move into the current column, I Literally cannot.

This app will tell you that you need to remove something in order to add that new one.

So let's remove Reply to Alex.

So now we have this later idea here and reply to Alex is now in our backlog, so we can close this if we want to focus on a specific task.

So send the client proposal due September 21st.

Let me go ahead and click into that very clean interface so it's not that busy.

You can click Step Done.

If you've completed the steps.

And this is where you want to break down something like Send a client proposal can include multiple steps, and starting is the hardest part.

So you can edit the steps, add additional steps, Save it, and so only the current step will show at any given time, once you've completed that step now the new step will appear.

other things that you can do here on this focus screen hidden by default, but you can click on Help me Start and copy a request for your AI chat.

And it's going to have all the context because this lives inside of a project ideally, but you have the ability to preview what the request is.

The goal here is to give it your AI, a little bit of context and including a prompt that helps you break down the task into a concrete first action that you can start.

And it can even help you with that action as well, depending on what it is.

And then lastly, if you do need to make any changes to the, task itself, just click on Details and you can see all of your task details and edit those here you can see any progress that you've made.

So we see that we've completed a couple of steps already.

And then you can also move the priority as well.

So right now it's the very first priority.

If I wanted to move this down, I'm going to come back over to the board.

You'll see now that Send the client proposal lives as a second priority.

And if I mark this as done, you get a nice little confetti.

It's all done, and there you have it.

You can also collapse this as well if you don't want to see the cards.

One thing that's pretty cool too is you can, do a quick search in your backlog to find the card and move that over as quickly as possible.

When it comes to adding new tasks, it's as simple as adding that task here and adding that to the backlog.

By default, you can export your information.

You also have settings.

So right now the current priority limit is three.

If I wanted to increase that to four.

I could do that if I wanted to decrease that to two.

Same thing.

You can see that we have multiple, tasks in here and so if we update the priority limit, it's going to force us to remove one of the current priorities because we are now over our limit.

So if I say let's remove later idea save settings and now you have one of one and find that later idea back in this backlog.

So that's it.

If you want to review how this works again, you can always go into how it works.

Start, restart the guided tour, or just simply go back to your board.

This is a skill that you're going to have access to, so if you want to make any updates to it, you can instruct your AI to do so.

So again, work chatgpt Work is going to help you with that.

Cloud, cowork or even plod, code in the desktop app can make direct changes to this skill so that it functions differently.

You can change the design, you can change the functionality of it.

this is really just a starting point.

This is a lot of fun to build and I hope that this was helpful.
