I've lost more tasks to Todoist than to any other app. I lost them there because I trusted it enough to put them there, and then I didn't open it for nine days. That's the whole Saner.ai vs Todoist question in one sentence.

You sat down to fix one formula in a spreadsheet. You looked up and it was dark outside, you had not eaten, and the spreadsheet now had color-coded tabs nobody asked for. Meanwhile the email you actually needed to send is still sitting in drafts. That's ADHD

I have a folder of things that I only ever finish when someone else is in the room. Tax forms. A landlord email. The blog post you are reading right now, if I'm honest. So when people ask me whether Focusmate works for ADHD, my first answer is
