Right now, it's just this.
The anti-productivity app for ADHD brains.
Stop staring at endless lists. Rudder shows you one task at a time, uses AI to unstick you when you freeze, and quietly buries the tasks you ignore.
Built by someone with ADHD.
Sound familiar?
Every productivity app was built for neurotypical brains. Then we wonder why nothing sticks.
Being completely paralyzed at 10 AM because you have a single Zoom meeting at 3 PM.
Spending 4 hours building the perfect Notion workspace, then never opening it again.
Needing 3 weeks of mental preparation to reply to a simple 2-minute email.
Currently having 86 browser tabs open because 'out of sight is completely out of mind'.
Taking 45 minutes to pick the perfect Spotify playlist for a 10-minute task.
'Resting' on the couch but actually just being eaten alive by the guilt of things you aren't doing.

Reading a message from the notification bar to avoid the 'Seen' receipt, then forgetting it for a month.
29 days of total paralysis, followed by 12 hours of god-tier hyperfocus right before the deadline.
Buying a $100 premium planner thinking *this* will finally fix your brain. (Abandoned on Day 3).
Going to the kitchen for water, reorganizing the spice rack, and returning to your desk with no water.
Moving a file into a neatly named folder, which means it now ceases to exist in your universe.
Staring at a perfectly structured to-do list that no longer brings clarity, only intense shame.

The Burnout Protector.
Swiping 'skip' too much today? AI notices your low energy and offers to clear your plate so you can actually rest without the guilt.
Gentle check-in
You've skipped 4 tasks today.
Need a break? Let's send the rest to the graveyard so you can actually rest — no guilt attached.
Momentum, Not Streaks.
Traditional habit trackers punish you for a bad day. Rudder uses 7-day rolling averages, so you're always building momentum, never breaking a streak.

A note from the builder.
“I’ll do it later.”
How many times has that sentence killed your day? For years, I tried every productivity tool on the market. I built complex Notion systems, spent hours color-coding tasks, and set enough Pomodoro timers to last a lifetime.
None of it stuck. My lists grew longer, and my shame grew deeper.
That’s why I started designing Rudder. I didn’t want another place to store my failures; I wanted a system that understood my paralysis. A system that shows me just one thing, notices when I’m stuck, and forgives me when I fail.
Full transparency: Rudder isn’t on the App Store yet. I’m currently in the validation phase, refining the core AI engine and ensuring the experience is as seamless as your brain deserves.
