Can’t Start That Big Project? This App Helps ADHD Brains Beat Task Paralysis.

Ever stared at a huge task (like writing a report or cleaning the garage) and felt completely frozen? You know you need to start, but your brain just says "nope." This overwhelming feeling is called task paralysis, and it's a daily struggle for many people with ADHD.

That’s why I built Firefly, a smart focus app designed to break down that "wall of awful" and help you start meaningful work in under a minute.

How Firefly Turns "I Can't" into "I Just Did"

Firefly isn't just another timer or to-do list. It was built from the ground up with the ADHD brain in mind. The entire process is designed to be simple, visual, and incredibly fast, capturing your motivation the moment it strikes.

Step 1: Just Tell Firefly Your Goal


There are no complicated forms. You start with a single, simple question: "What do you want to finish?" Just type your goal in plain language.

Step 2: Get an Instant, Actionable Plan


The moment you enter your goal, Firefly’s AI gets to work. It instantly gives you a tiny, 60-second first step to get you started. This isn't a vague suggestion; it's a concrete micro-task designed to be so easy you can't say no.

Alongside that first step, you get a full, editable action plan with time estimates for each task, giving you a clear roadmap.

Step 3: Pick an Action and Start the Timer


You are in complete control. You can use the standard timer presets or, even better, select one of the AI's time estimates for a specific action. This helps you commit to a single task for a realistic amount of time.

Step 4: Stay Focused with a Visual Timer


One of the biggest challenges for people with ADHD is "time blindness": the inability to sense the passage of time. Firefly’s large, visual timer makes time tangible. The clean, distraction-free interface shows you only the current action, helping you stay locked in.

Built for a Neurodivergent World
Firefly is more than a tool; it's a companion for anyone whose brain works a little differently. It offers gentle accountability without judgment and celebrates every minute of focus, not just "perfect" sessions.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, give Firefly a try. Your next productive session is just a few seconds away.
