ADHD Study Pack

Focus dial. Adjustable focus, short-break and long-break lengths with presets from “Two-minute start” to 90/20 ultradian blocks. The countdown tracks the wall clock, so a backgrounded tab cannot run it slow. A session intent, an activation rating, a one-tap distraction tally and a quiet body-double mode ride alongside.

Priority matrix. Tasks sit in Q1–Q4 by urgency and importance, placed by drag-and-drop or two taps, with a one-at-a-time sorter for the unsorted pile. A balance card shows how much focus time really went to Q2, and the focus view nudges toward a Q2 task when the week is running on urgency.

Tasks and planner. Every task carries a pomodoro estimate and an activation cost — how hard it is to start. Any task or calendar block can also be timed with a stopwatch: press start, work for as long as it runs, and the minutes land in your study time. A week calendar holds classes and study blocks; courses get weekly targets, and the auto-scheduler packs sessions into free hours, weighted by the hours you historically focus best. Connect Google Calendar and the sync runs both ways: your Google events appear in the planner as busy time, and the blocks you plan are added to Google, with edits and deletions following them. Calendars also come in and go out as .ics.

Notes, sound and calm. A sticky-note wall where parked thoughts land; rain, brown and pink noise, café hum, fireplace and more, all synthesised live with the Web Audio API; breathing pacers, a 5-4-3-2-1 grounding run, check-ins and movement prompts for the break.

Mood, energy and stress. Three numbers and a couple of tags, logged in about five seconds from a two-dimensional pad — mood up the side, energy across — or from the sliders beside it. What makes it worth doing is the second half: the charts draw your focus minutes behind the mood line, so the view can say things like mood runs 1.2 higher on days with at least 25 minutes of focus, name your best and worst weekday, and surface which tags keep turning up on the rough days. A day-by-day grid shows a month at a glance and is built as a real table, so it reads as data to a screen reader rather than as colour.

Statistics. Focus minutes per day, best hours, a consistency heatmap, what pulls you away, time by course, a session log with CSV export, and plain-language insights drawn from all of it.

Every view and every timer action has a single-key shortcut, and a command palette (Ctrl/⌘ + K) reaches the rest, so the mouse is never the thing standing between you and starting. B parks a thought and D logs a distraction without stopping the timer.

Light and dark follow the system or can be pinned, with four accent colours. Under prefers-reduced-motion the breathing and pulse animations stop. On a phone the navigation becomes a scrolling strip and every view stacks to a single column.

Settings that start simple. Every Setup section opens with the two or three things most people change and folds the rest behind one button that says how many are inside. Nothing is removed — a disclosure, not a second class of setting — and the choice of what is open stays put while you work.

Comfort profiles. ADHD and autism often want opposite things from the same screen — quick rewards, streaks and nudges against muted colour, no surprises and a warning before every change. The defaults are ADHD-first; Setup offers five starting profiles (ADHD, Calm and predictable, Low vision, Easier reading, Screen reader) and then lets you change any single setting, at which point the profile is marked as customised and tells you exactly what differs. Text scales to 175% without a horizontal scrollbar, line and letter spacing loosen, the typeface can switch to Atkinson Hyperlegible, contrast can go high, colour can go muted or grey, and pop-up messages can be limited to the important ones or turned off entirely — they still reach screen readers either way.

Screen readers and speech. Built and audited against WCAG 2.2 AA: every view is a landmark with a heading, changing view moves focus to that heading, dialogs make the page behind inert and return focus when they close, the matrix and calendar blocks are keyboard buttons with names that say what and when, and two live regions carry news politely and interruptions assertively. Single-key shortcuts can be switched off (WCAG 2.1.4) so they never clash with a reader’s own keys, and the timer can announce the time left every few minutes. That works with NVDA, JAWS and Narrator on Windows, VoiceOver on macOS and iOS, and TalkBack on Android. For anyone who wants things read aloud without running a screen reader, there is a built-in voice using the speech synthesis already on the device — it reads the current task, the timer, or any text you select, and nothing is sent anywhere to do it.
