Mahadhi
Focus and planning built for the way ADHD brains actually work.
Plan your day in blocks, run them one at a time, and get back on track without shame when the day goes sideways — because it will, and that's fine.

What is Mahadhi?
Most productivity apps are built for brains that already find starting easy and stopping natural. Mahadhi is built for the rest of us — for time blindness, for hyperfocus, for the 4pm crash, for days that fall apart at 11am.
You plan a day as a queue of focus blocks. One block runs at a time, front and center, with the clock on your lock screen. When a block runs over, nothing snaps shut — the timer keeps counting and asks, gently, what you want to do. When the whole day drifts, Mahadhi meets you with ways forward instead of a broken streak.
It counts the days you showed up. It never counts the days you didn't.
Key features
Plan in blocks, not lists
Build your day from focus blocks — a name, a length, a color. Run it loose in Flow mode or pin it to the clock in Scheduled mode, with hard stops where they matter.
A timer that forgives
When a block runs long, the timer counts up instead of cutting you off. Overtime is information, not failure — wrap when you're ready and carry unfinished to-dos forward.
Time you can see
On iPhone, a Live Activity keeps your current block on the lock screen and Dynamic Island — time left, when it ends, and what's up next — so time stays visible even when the phone is face-up on the desk.
Park the thought, keep the focus
Mid-block idea? One tap captures it to your Thoughts inbox and returns you to what you were doing. Deal with it later — or turn it into a block.
Energy-aware days
Tell Mahadhi it's a Low day and it downshifts with you: a shorter plan, a gentler floor, the lighter version of a block where you've made one, and recovery blocks — a reset, a walk, lunch — to drop between the work.
A smaller version, decided in advance
Give a block variants — "Outline only · 15 min" — each with its own to-dos. When the full version isn't happening, the smaller one is a tap away instead of a negotiation with yourself. Creating variants is a Pro feature.
Recovery, not streaks
No chains to break, no guilt screens. Fall off mid-day and Mahadhi offers ways back — slide everything down, pick up where you are, or call it a day with your work saved.
Gentle limits
A protective cap keeps each block to a few to-dos, sized to the time you actually gave it. Finishing one unlocks the next — overwhelm never gets a foothold.
Break it down for you
When a task is too big to start, Mahadhi turns it into two or three concrete first steps you can actually begin — each small enough to start in under two minutes. A Pro feature.

Plans, sessions, and thoughts live on your device. Export a backup anytime, and restore it on a new phone. No account required to use the app.
