Everything Beginary does to help you begin.
Beginary is built around one hard moment: the beginning. With ADHD you can know the task, know how to do it, and still not start. That gap has a name, task initiation, and it is a real executive-function barrier, not laziness. Every feature here works on that gap. It shrinks the first move until the weight has nothing to hold onto, then lets ordinary momentum do the rest.
The app is one loop. A quick mood check right-sizes the doorway. One button gets you moving. When a task is too big to face, it splits into small steps. When you are working, an optional soundscape holds the room steady. And when a task slips past its time, Beginary stays with you and offers a soft way back in. There are no streaks to protect and nothing to break. Miss a day and it says "Welcome back," not "You lost your streak." The whole thing is designed to be on your side, especially on the days you feel behind.
The features below are grouped by the moment they belong to: getting started, breaking through overwhelm, staying in the task, and the moment after a task slips. Read them in order for the whole loop, or jump to the one that matches the wall in front of you right now.
The first move, made small.
The core loop that gets you from frozen to moving. Name the feeling, pick the right kind of start, and step over the first sixty seconds.
One screen, one button.
No picker, no sub-tasks to arrange first. The first sixty seconds are the whole goal.
Name the feeling.
Fine, Wired, Heavy, or Stuck routes you to the right kind of start for the brain you have right now.
A short on-ramp ritual.
A brief, optional warm-up that shifts your state before you start, for the days beginning feels heavy.
When the task is one undivided blob.
Some tasks are too big to see the edges of. This is the feature for turning a wall into a first step.
Once you're moving, hold the room.
Starting is the hard part, but staying can slip too. An optional sound keeps the space around the work steady.
The part most apps get wrong.
A task slipped past its time. This is where Beginary stays with you instead of getting louder, and offers a small way back in.
A gentle return.
The opt-in return for the minutes after a task slips past its time. One tap drops you back into a start.
Start from your wrist.
Begin a task from your wrist, mirrored from your phone, when reaching for the phone is one friction too many.
The feature we chose not to build.
Some things are missing on purpose. This one is the clearest signal of whose side the app is on.
Built on how ADHD actually works.
None of this is a productivity trick. Every feature traces back to the research on task initiation and executive function, and to the lived experience of adults who have tried everything else. If you want to see the thinking, read the science behind it, or spend time with the writing.
One button between you and started.
