I built a productivity app for neurodivergent minds (as someone with AuDHD)

I have AuDHD, and every productivity app I tried made me feel worse, not better.

Streaks I'd lose. Tasks marked "overdue" in red. Dashboards quietly judging me for not being consistent.

Sound familiar?

At some point I realized: I wasn't broken – the tools were just built for neurotypical brains.

So I built Denly.

What makes it different:

- No streaks you can lose

- No "overdue = failure" pressure

- Adapts to your daily energy level (12 Aurora modes)

- Progress that only moves forward

It asks you every morning: "How's your brain today?" – then adjusts your plan accordingly.

Low energy day? Here's 3 small tasks.

Hyperfocus day? Here's your deep work list.

Overload day? Survival mode.

I'm currently in Early Access with Founding Member pricing. Goal: 200 members by end of April.

Would love to hear from other neurodivergent founders:

πŸ‘‰ What productivity tools have actually worked for you?

Happy to answer any questions about the build, the tech stack (Rails 8, Hotwire), or the journey.

    Congrats on the launch, looks solid. How are you currently thinking about acquiring early users and gathering feedback?
