Sound familiar?

"I know what to do — I just can't start"

Activation energy is the real enemy. Normal planners stare back at you. You need dopamine hits and tiny first steps, not a wall of tasks.

"If it's not in front of my face, it doesn't exist"

Object permanence for tasks is real. You need an external brain that pings you — not an app you have to remember to open.

"Time blindness wrecks every plan"

You thought it would take 20 minutes. It took three hours. You need AI that knows your actual pace, not your optimistic guess.

"The guilt spiral kills momentum"

You miss one day, then a week, then delete the app. Traditional streaks punish. You need a system that forgives and keeps you moving.

How DayriOS solves it

DayriOS is built around ADHD brain mechanics. AI breaks big things into ridiculously tiny starter tasks. Push reminders on your phone and PC act as your external brain. Forgiveness streaks recover you instead of shaming you. Voice dump when you can't type.

What you get

⚡

2-minute starter tasks

AI takes "write the report" and turns it into "open the doc and write one sentence". Dopamine within 2 minutes.

🎨

Dopamine-friendly UI

Visual progress. Tiny wins highlighted. No guilt-grey overdue lists. Built for brains that need stimulation.

🧠

Reminders as external brain

Pings come to you on your phone and PC. No need to remember to open the app. Object permanence, solved.

💛

Forgiveness streaks

Miss a day? The system catches you, not shames you. Streaks reset softly with context-aware recovery.

🎙️

Voice dump

Too much in your head? Hit record. AI turns chaos into sorted tasks, notes, and next actions.

✂️

AI task shrinker

Overwhelmed by a task? Tap "shrink". AI breaks it into tiny steps until the first one feels easy.

How it works

1

Voice dump everything

Talk for 30 seconds. Dump the brain tangle. AI sorts it into tasks, goals, and notes.

2

AI shrinks the scary ones

Any task that looks too big gets broken into 2-minute starters. You only see the next tiny step.

3

Your phone pings you

At the right moment. Not a wall of notifications. Just the next thing, when your brain is ready.

4

Miss a day? No drama

The system adjusts. Forgiveness streak resumes. AI re-prioritises. You keep moving.

Who this is for

  • Adults with ADHD who abandoned every traditional planner
  • People who start projects with fire and lose steam by day 3
  • Anyone whose brain runs on dopamine, novelty, and deadlines
  • Neurodivergent folks who need forgiveness, not shame

Frequently asked questions

Is this a medical tool or therapy replacement?+

No. DayriOS is a productivity tool designed with ADHD-friendly mechanics. It does not replace therapy, coaching, or medication.

What if I forget to use the app for a week?+

Expected. Push reminders bring you back gently. Forgiveness streaks mean one week off doesn't erase months of progress.

Do I need Telegram?+

No. Reminders come as push notifications in the Android, iPhone and Windows apps, and phone reminders work even offline. The Telegram bot is an optional extra for quick capture of tasks, expenses and voice notes.

How is this different from a regular to-do app?+

Regular apps wait for you and punish misses. DayriOS comes to you, shrinks tasks to 2 minutes, and forgives slips by design.
