Two-second voice capture
Tap, talk, release. Faster than the thought leaves your head.
For ADHD brains
An ADHD Planner App Designed Around How Your Brain Actually Works
Capture in two seconds. Structure handled by AI. Today is one screen. Yesterday quietly rolls forward — no streak, no red badge, no shame.
The problem
Standard planners assume linear thinking. You open the app, decide on a project, type a task name into a field, set a date in a date picker, choose a priority from a dropdown, optionally add a tag, optionally attach a note. By the time you've finished the form, the thought you opened the app to capture is already gone. The friction was small for a neurotypical brain and total for yours.
For an ADHD brain, that's the whole game. The thought has a half-life of about seven seconds. If the app can't capture it in two taps, it doesn't get captured — it migrates somewhere else and eventually disappears. And the apps that punish you for missed days make the underlying problem worse rather than better: every notification that says "you broke your streak" or "you missed your daily goal" is a small dose of shame, and shame makes you avoid the app entirely. The planner becomes a thing you flinch from instead of a thing you reach for.
How Lunelo solves it
Lunelo is built for the seven-second window. Open the app, tap the mic, speak the thought, done. The whole capture flow is "press, talk, release" with no intermediate decisions. AI handles the part that actually requires linear thinking — extracting a title, a date, a time, a priority, and (if you said something big enough to warrant it) the next handful of subtasks. The cognitive load of the planner has been moved off your shoulders and onto the model.
The default view is today. Not inbox. Not "all tasks." Not a dashboard. Just today. The reason is structural: an ADHD brain confronting two hundred open tasks at once will close the app and not come back for three weeks. Today shows you what's possible to do today, and nothing else. The backlog still exists — it lives in history, searchable — it's just not the screen you see first, because the screen you see first sets the emotional tone of the next ten minutes.
When you don't finish something, Lunelo says nothing about it. The task moves to tomorrow in silence. There are no streaks to break. No "you missed your goal" message at the end of the day. No red number on the app icon counting your failures. The product makes a deliberate, structural bet that shame doesn't motivate ADHD users — it paralyzes them — and so every feature that introduces shame has been left out on purpose.

Compared to other tools
Most "ADHD planner" apps in the App Store either weaponize gamification — streaks, points, levels, achievements — which works for a portion of users and paralyzes the rest, or they relabel a generic to-do app as "ADHD-friendly" with a softer color palette and a tagline. Lunelo's structural choices (today-only default, voice-first capture, no shame messages, AI structuring of the messy thought) are specifically chosen for an ADHD-style brain, but they're not marketing copy retrofitted onto a generic app — they're the actual shape of the product, and removing any one of them would change what it is.

Frequently asked
Is Lunelo affiliated with any ADHD organization?
No. Lunelo is built by one person who has lived with executive-function struggles and built the planner they wished existed.
Does Lunelo have a "focus mode" or Pomodoro timer?
No timer is built in. The product opinion is that timers are a separate tool; combining them into a planner usually means doing both badly.
Can I disable notifications entirely?
Yes. Notifications are off by default. You opt in to reminders per task or globally.
What if I forget to open the app for a week?
Open it, and you see today. The week of missed tasks doesn't pile up in a guilt heap; it's quietly in history.
Is there an analytics dashboard?
Yes (Premium), but it's framed around patterns and focus zones, not shame. "You completed more on Tuesdays" — not "you failed 12 tasks this month."
Does AI parsing work in plain English or do I have to use specific phrasing?
Plain English. "Call mom tomorrow at 6 and remind me again in the morning" parses correctly. The model is Claude, which is very tolerant of messy phrasing.
