(the part where we tell you why we care)
We're not a corporation pretending to understand ADHD. We're people with ADHD who got tired of tools that gaslight us into thinking our brains are the problem.
Here's the thing about ADHD productivity advice: almost all of it is written by people who don't have ADHD.
They tell you to "just use a planner." To "break tasks into smaller pieces." To "set a timer and focus." And it sounds so reasonable. So simple. So obvious. Which makes you feel even worse when it doesn't work — because it should work, right?
Wrong.
Those systems assume your brain operates on a straight line: see task → decide to do task → do task. ADHD brains don't work that way. We operate on interest, urgency, novelty, and challenge — not importance. We don't lack willpower. We lack friction-free systems.
That's what Built for ADHD is. A friction-free system. We build digital templates that work with the ADHD brain instead of pretending it's neurotypical. Energy-based sorting instead of priority matrices. Tiny first steps instead of project plans. Dopamine hits built into every completion. Visual chaos capture instead of neat, linear lists.
Every template starts from the same place: your brain isn't broken. Your tools are. We just build better tools.
We're not therapists. We're not doctors. We don't prescribe, diagnose, or give medical advice. What we do is build practical, beautiful, no-BS tools for people who think differently. We charge fair prices, offer real guarantees, and put the work into making things that actually get used — not just purchased.
If you've tried every app, every planner, every system, and you're still drowning — it's not because you're broken. It's because nobody built the thing that matches your wiring. Until now.
Real person. Real ADHD. Real frustrated with bad tools.
Founder
Media operator, system builder, and someone who spent years forcing his ADHD brain into tools that weren't built for it. Built for ADHD started as personal frustration — spreadsheets and systems I made for myself because nothing else worked. Turns out a lot of people needed the same thing.
The non-negotiables.
We don't make neurotypical tools and slap an "ADHD-friendly" label on them. Every template is designed from scratch around how ADHD brains actually process information, prioritize, and take action.
If a system requires willpower to use, it's a bad system. We obsess over removing every possible point of friction — fewer clicks, fewer decisions, fewer reasons to abandon the tool.
We don't tell you how to be productive. We give you a framework and let your brain fill it in. No guilt trips, no "right way," no morning routines. You know what works for you — we just make the container.
Sure, our stuff looks good. But we'd rather it works good. Every design decision is made through the lens of "will someone with ADHD actually use this more than once?" If the answer is no, we cut it.
We don't do 'just try harder.'
If trying harder worked, you'd have solved this years ago. The problem isn't effort — it's alignment. Our tools align with your wiring so effort actually produces results.
We ship for real people.
No imaginary personas. No 'ideal user.' We build for the person who has 14 unread notifications, forgot to eat lunch, and still needs to get something done today. That's our user. That's us.
