Gentle focus companion: sessions, tasks, and Pomodoro — nudges without blocking. **Your brain doesn't work against distraction—it works with it. A ADHD helps you do the same.** Most productivity tools assume you should force yourself into one task, one tab, one rigid schedule. If you have ADHD—or think the way ADHD minds often do—you already know how that story goes: guilt, abandoned systems, and another app collecting dust. **A ADHD takes a different path.** Instead of punishing you for switching tasks, it lets you **run multiple tasks at once**, track time on each, and stay gently aware of where your attention goes—without blocking your browser or shaming you when you drift. --- ### Why people install A ADHD **Because fighting your brain is exhausting—and it doesn't work.** People use A ADHD when they: - **Jump between tasks** and want every switch counted, not hidden - **Open "just one more tab"** and need a calm nudge—not a locked browser - **Start strong** but lose momentum when a session ends abruptly - **Tried strict Pomodoro apps** that broke the moment life interrupted - **Want structure in the browser** where the distraction actually happens - **Prefer supportive tools** over apps that treat focus like a moral test A ADHD is built for real work days: messy, nonlinear, and full of context switches. It meets you there. --- ### What A ADHD does Everything lives in a **Chrome side panel**—one click from your toolbar, always nearby, never covering the page you're on. #### Multi-active task tracking This is the heart of A ADHD. - Keep **several tasks active at the same time** - Start, pause, and resume any task independently - See **tracked time** update while tasks run in the background - Organize work across **Todo**, **Active**, and **Completed** tabs - **Search** your task list as it grows - **Resize** the task panel to fit your screen When your mind hops from writing to email to research, you don't have to pretend you're still on one thing. You can **join the switch**—and still know where your time went. #### Focus sessions with gentle site nudges Start a focus session when you want extra awareness—not a cage. - Build **allow** and **disallow** lists with URL patterns and optional notes - Get **silent, supportive notifications** when you visit a site that doesn't match your intention - **No hard blocking**—you stay in control; A ADHD only nudges - Set an **anchor tab** to mark "this is what I'm supposed to be doing" - **Snooze** nudges when you need a break from reminders - See **live tab match status** in the header (allowed, disallowed, anchor, neutral) so you always know the rules apply to *this* page Nudges use calm copy. No shame. No "you failed again." Just a quiet check-in. #### Pomodoro that fits real life Structured breaks without rigidity. - Classic **focus → short break → long break** cycles - Clear **cycle progress** (e.g. Focus 2 of 4) - **Pause and resume** when someone messages you or the doorbell rings - **Skip** or **reset** without breaking the whole day - Optional **completion sounds** when a phase ends - Toolbar **badge** shows remaining minutes at a glance Pomodoro works alongside your tasks and session—not instead of them. #### Session + task coupling that makes sense - End a focus session and **running tasks pause**—they stay in Active, ready to resume - **Undo** within a few seconds if you ended the session by mistake - Session timer keeps running in the background while you work #### Built for your browser, not against it - **Side panel UI**—Session, Tasks, and Pomodoro in one place - **Keyboard shortcuts**: Alt+Shift+F toggles session, Alt+Shift+P opens panel - **Custom primary color** in Options—make it yours - **Settings** open from the panel header; save and the extension reloads automatically - Works while the service worker sleeps—timers reconcile when Chrome wakes up --- ### How it's different | Typical focus app | A ADHD | |-------------------|--------| | One task at a time | **Multiple active tasks** | | Block or lock sites | **Gentle nudges only** | | Shame when you slip | **Supportive reminders** | | Separate from browsing | **Lives in a side panel** | | All-or-nothing Pomodoro | **Pause, skip, resume freely** | **Philosophy in one line:** If you can't beat distraction, join it—track it, nudge it, and work *with* the way your attention actually moves. --- ### Who A ADHD is for - **ADHD adults** tired of tools designed for neurotypical "single-thread" work - **Students** juggling research, notes, and messages in one browser window - **Developers and knowledge workers** who context-switch constantly - **Anyone** who wants accountability without a browser prison If you've ever closed a productivity app because it made you feel worse, A ADHD is trying to be the opposite. --- ### Privacy and data **Your data stays on your device.** - Settings, tasks, and session state are stored locally in Chrome storage - Tab URLs are read **only** to match your allow/disallow rules during an active focus session - **No accounts. No cloud sync. No analytics servers.** (See privacy policy for details.) --- ### Getting started 1. Install A ADHD and open the side panel from the toolbar 2. Add a few tasks—start more than one if that's how you work 3. Optional: start a focus session and add sites to your disallow list 4. Optional: run a Pomodoro cycle alongside your tasks 5. Open **Settings** to tune nudges, Pomodoro lengths, sounds, and colors You don't need to configure everything on day one. Start with tasks. Add sessions when you're ready. --- ### Permissions (why we ask) - **Side panel** — the main UI - **Tabs & host access** — read URLs to match your allow/disallow lists during sessions - **Storage** — save tasks and settings locally - **Alarms & notifications** — Pomodoro timing and gentle nudges - **Offscreen** — accurate timers when the browser background sleeps We ask for what the features need—nothing more. --- **Install A ADHD if you want a focus companion that respects how your brain actually works—not how a spreadsheet thinks it should.** Work with your brain. Track the jumps. Stay gently on course. --- *A ADHD — join the multitask. Own your time.*
