These apps are not listed in order of quality, as each app isn't made equal.

1. Sunsama

Best for Mindful ADHD

Sunsama is very much known for being the mindful planner app that helps people balance tasks & calendar events, whilst being great for reflection.

Those with ADHD will enjoy it for a variety of reasons, the first is the clean and minimal design that helps you plot out your tasks combined with the focus modes for zooming into what matters. There are so many features like end of the day reflections (for planning), pomodoro timers, backlog (for reducing overwhelm) and limits on your tasks to help reduce decision fatigue (very common for ADHD and neurodivergent individuals).

Pros for ADHD

• Reduces task overwhelm - Sunsama stops how many tasks you can add based on your hourly target. This helps to stop that overloading that commonly comes for those with ADHD.

• Setting pomodoro timers - Getting focused on a task with a timer and a zoomed in view which helps with task switching is a must-have for those who struggle with jumping around tasks.

• Daily reflection & shutdowns - For those who need help ending their day and planning the next - think a hand holding experience - the way Sunsama helps you shutdown and plan your next work day is great for structure & routine.

• Task consolidation in one - Switching between apps to see your tasks can be a huge distraction trigger for ADHD and neurodivergent needs. Sunsama helps with this by allowing you to import tasks from ClickUp, Notion, Todoist and more - making a one dashboard view of all incoming tasks.

What type of ADHD is Sunsama best suited for?

• It's best suited if you need that extra helping hand for your work.

• For those who struggle with structuring their day or working out things like "what's the priority task?" - then Sunsama will help with that.

• Please note, Sunsama isn't cheap, it's $16-20 (subject to change) and that isn't in everyone's budgets, so much more for busy professionals.

Where to download Sunsama?

• Web, iOS, macOS and Windows.

2. Structured

Best Mobile ADHD Calendar

Structured is a hidden gem for those with ADHD.

The app is available on a wide range of devices and highly-rated on iOS & Android making it a super compelling on the go ADHD-friendly calendar app. One of things we love about Structured is how easy it is to build a routine for you to just jump into, tick off and import your most important calendar events. On the premium plan, you can even import Google Calendar too, allowing you total control of what's coming up.

Pros for ADHD

• Great for routines - For those who want to open this and see what they need to do alongside their calendar, this is perfect. Routines can help you feel less overwhelmed with ADHD, as you can tee up the next focus and broadly plan your day. This app helps with that whilst combining it with habits easily repeated.

• Timeline blindness - One of the compelling ways that this app wins the hearts of users is the visual timeline of your day. You can breeze into the next task, but see where you are in in your collective day. This is a perfect experience and feature that helps to address blindness of time along with reminders too.

• Unique and easy to use AI features - this app gets a lot of nods from the ADHD community for the AI feature. One of the AI features allows you to ramble into the device about how you want to organize your day - eg. "Swim at 7am, run at 8:30am, feed cat at 9am" - and it will organize it all for you. This is a premium feature, but one that many people say they love to use.

What makes Structured a good ADHD calendar app?

• Structured is much more suited for casual tasks - planning housework or managing life

• It isn't as well suited for workplace scenarios, but could be largely used for that - just not best suited

• We'd recommend this more for stay at home dads/moms, the casual to-do list users (using Apple Reminders now) and basic work needs

Where to download?

• Web, iOS, Android & macOS

3. Trello

Best for Work

We'd have never recommended Trello a few months back, but they added inbox & calendar abilities. For many people with ADHD, they already love the visual nature of organizing your boards, stickers, covers and the Kanban planning style to help you move between tasks, and that has just been upgraded in the latest Trello. Now you can drag tasks from your Trello boards into a calendar view, organize what's in your inbox (perfect for overwhelm) and then block time. Many people love the visual and block nature of Trello, so this update allowing you to plot tasks next to Google Calendar and Outlook helps massively to be a ADHD-friendly choice.

Pros for ADHD

• Inbox capture for less app switching - you can now quickly bring things into your Trello using your Inbox, Slack and Teams. This makes it a good option for work, making sure you aren't frantically jumping around apps and causing more pain for you.

• Focus time blocking - another great benefit of the calendar panel is that you can drag tasks into the calendar view alongside Google Calendar and Outlook items. That visual block of time is perfect and you can even bring in active cards from your Trello boards (and if you're a developer, you can connect up Jira tickets too).

• Stickers & customization - Boards and cards bring all the fun of the Trello experience from the visual backgrounds to the stickers customization makes it a haven for your safe space for planning tasks, loved by so many of those with ADHD for that very reason.

Who is Trello best suited for?

• Best suited for those who want to use ADHD friendly calendar at work that connects with Google Calendar

• The app is very visual so if you want to use Kanban with your calendar, this is a great choice for you.

Where to download?

• Web, iOS, Android, Mac & Windows

4. Morgen Calendar

Best for Time Blocking & Cross Platform

Morgen is another hidden gem for ADHD. The app is friendly in appearance and gives you a lot of good quality time blocking features for plotting out what's next. Much like Sunsama, it allows you to block tasks from other apps too.

One thing a lot of people like is the cross platform nature of it, meaning you can get it on almost all devices, including Linux too, meaning there's no blockers to if you use an iOS and Windows set-up, or anything in between. The real reason it's a hit with ADHD is the uncluttered look for planning tasks and the simple task list that helps with time blindness.

Pros for ADHD

• Task lists for consolidation - So for seeing what's on your task list, Morgen serves well. Being able to toggle open a task list and plan priority levels all from the calendar makes things like visual time blocking great and the ability to see upcoming tasks by filtering them down - which can really help with focus.

• Focus & time frames - One of the best features in Morgen is easily "Smart Frames" - this is very very smart for those who want to set and forget task management. They help you set up time periods of your day - like "Every Thursday, you do 9-10am admin" - this then connects with other apps and imports tasks that meet the intensity of that focus. So you can get what things need to be done in that time and creates that "set and forget" layout for you - this makes it very good for forgetfulness with ADHD that can be addressed here.

• Scheduling meetings - Continuing on the top of being forgetful, scheduling meetings and one-off schedule links (like you get in Calendly) are all baked into the Morgen experience. Meaning you can see all incoming meetings with people that might have booked with you. Another good one for those that struggle with the admin side of planning and organizing meetings.

Who is Morgen best suited for?

• Many people who need an all-round calendar will love this.

• But it works best for those who need it for all their devices - work or play.

• This app is a good structured, easy to use calendar app with the basics covered.

• If you suffer from an ability to focus or set up a routine, the smart frames feature is a great one for you.

Where to download?

• Almost all devices including Linux

• Web, iOS, Android, Linux, Windows & Mac

5. Tiimo

Best for Neurodivergence

Tiimo is a startup that is growing very fast for planning your day. It is very popular for helping with executive function support, by breaking down tasks and helping you see visually what's next and why. Tiimo is very much tailored towards being suited for ADHD, autism and neuro-diverse individuals (probably the most out of all the list).

On iOS, this app is very much loved by Apple and users who say it can help them from planning their day to staying focused with ADHD. The simple look and feel make it very appealing to many and with a growing community, we continue to see this grow to new heights.

Pros for ADHD

• Visual timers and routines - good for planning a task and starting a timer, but Tiimo also allows you to set a routine and begin it. This helps to see the timer start and commence with the task at hand, perfect for executive functioning where you're suffering from that blocker to starting a task in the first place.

• AI task breakdowns - chunking down a task is a common technique to help make tasks more approachable. Inside of Tiimo they have this ability to do this with a task using AI. It will recognize the task name and make suggestions about how to block the task up into simple and manageable chunks. You can also speak to the AI assistant to plan your day - by saying things like "Today I need to do XYZ, at XYZ time and they are important" - this helps to break those barriers down when starting and stopping tasks.

• Connected calendars - You can connect up Google and Outlook calendars, on the desktop (web edition) you can use iCloud too, and this helps you to import your items. This is great for time blocking, starting timers and seeing what's on the list ahead for you. The planner app on web is very clean and simple.

Who is Tiimo best suited for?

• We'd recommend this more for those with ADHD, autism or neuro-divergent needs.

• This app is less traditional and follows more strict methods that help address those needs, more so than the other options.

• It's probably the most ADHD friendly on our list and leans towards helping plan tasks more so.

• FYI, Tiimo has poor Android reviews right now (maybe something they are working on).

Where to download?

• Web, iOS, Android

6. Akiflow

Best for AI Chat & Consolidation

Akiflow is a fan favourite amongst many planners. The calendar and task management app helps you to plot out your week using time blocking, has some Sunsama like features that allow you to plan the next day and close down (for reflection) and brings all your tasks into one place making it perfect for plotting what's next.

One of the things that helps many of those with ADHD is the active self-talk when it comes to tasks, speaking to an AI assistant like ChatGPT can help assess what's important in natural language. Akiflow has a feature called "Aki" that allows you to speak with a chatbot assistant and get feedback on what's important what's not. This active self-talk can be a helpful to assess what's important and reduce executive functioning issues.

Pros for ADHD

• AI Aki Chat - If you need help with that self-talk for planning and prioritizing tasks, this AI feature "Aki" can help you plan tasks using a simple pop-up chatbot. This is good for not only chatting with the AI but also re-planning things as you can say "Organize XYZ for Tuesday" and it will help do that for you.

• Task Consolidation - A perfect place to bring all your tasks into one place to plan together. Many people like this as they can see one view, with imported tasks to time block for your visual timeline needs.

Best suited for?

• Busy professionals who have ADHD but are in need of planning help.

• The AI features are growing and helpful for that self-talk planning approach.

• This one is more premium charging between $19-$34 per month with no free plan.

7. Notion Calendar

Best for Notion Users

If you're someone who loves Notion and runs your work from it then we'd recommend Notion Calendar.

It's a clean and simple look with all the features you'll need to getting the most out of Notion and planning what's important. This app doesn't have as many ADHD-friendly features, but for those who use Notion already for the calendar management (in databases) might be getting a bit overwhelmed.

Pros for ADHD

• Easy to connect databases - you can connect up Notion databases, meaning deadlines and important dates from a set database can be fed into Notion Calendar. This makes it easier to reduce forgetfulness and see what's coming up without the panic.

• Good for meetings - Notion Calendar comes with an AI note-taker for meeting transcriptions and also a scheduling tool for finding a time with another person. This embeds deeply into Notion (available in the premium plans - but is great for those who need help taking the notes during meetings & sending invites.

Best suited for?

• If you have ADHD and get on with Notion, this is a must-have.

• A recommended base for you if you plan in Notion databases and want more structure to reduce overwhelm

Where to download?

• Web, iOS and Mac

Which is the one to pick for your needs?

There are plenty of ADHD-friendly options here, but you might need more help narrowing down:

Best for Mindfulness

• For reflection & daily planning abilities for your calendar, we'd recommend Sunsama or Tiimo.

• Both of these tools are perfect for the end of the day planning ahead for the next.

• Many people find that Sunsama is the most mindful planner on the list we have and is a good all-round bet

• But if budget is one of your concerns, we'd recommend Tiimo.

Best for ADHD & Neurodivergence

• The best one in this list for full-focused ADHD is Tiimo.

• It's more of a task management system, but helps you to plan your calendar.

• It's clean, minimal and popular for mobile users but is fully developed for ADHD in mind.

Best for Work

• There's options here like Trello, Morgen & Akiflow that work best for work needs.

• If you use a calendar for work, we'd recommend looking at these three as you can organize them there.

• Reasons why we'd recommend are their power abilities with planning tasks, organizing meetings (like Calendly) and AI features too.
