Denly
Productivity without guilt – built for neurodivergent minds
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:
👉 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.
