We test tools and score what an ADHD brain actually pays: setup burden, maintenance load, guilt on miss, and whether it works while you forget about it. No affiliate links — we do not earn anything by your choice.

Scores run 1–5: more lit dots = more of that axis. Guilt on miss is how the tool feels when you fall off — overdue badges, broken streaks, red counters. Scores are our honest, subjective read after testing. Prices verified August 2026 from vendor pricing pages; we list no affiliates. Rows grow to 40+ tools.
