The app I made is called “Focus” , it’s an ADHD support app, especially for tracking tasks.
This is actually my very first time making an app. I have zero experience in coding or being an app developer… so yeah, this is a bit of a leap for me.
Alright, let’s get straight into it.
Why did I make this? Because I have ADHD myself. And one of the biggest struggles is… doing tasks.
Like, imagine you have a list of 3 tasks. You know they’re important. But you just sit there… staring at them… for like 2 hours.
It’s like there’s something between your brain and your hands that just… won’t connect. Then you get overwhelmed, tired, and stuck, because you can’t even decide where to start. And in the end… you do nothing.
BUT the funny thing is… suddenly everything works perfectly when it’s close to the deadline…like me making this submission. 😅
So, what does this app do?
This app helps you track your tasks, habits or routines, and focus time , with a simple UI that doesn’t feel overwhelming, especially for people with ADHD.
Let me show you how it works, starting with the Task tab.
First, go to “My Task” and type your big task. For example: “Finish the client proposal”, “Clean my room” or “Reply to that email from 3 weeks ago” …anything.
Then, you break that big task into smaller steps. Start from the easiest one, all the way to the more difficult ones.
After that, you can check them off one by one. Each checkmark feels like a small win, it's giving your brain that little dopamine boost to keep going.
You can also see your streak grow, which is proof that you can do hard things… because you just did.
And my favorite feature is actually in the first tab, it’s called “Brain Dumps.” Where you can quickly capture any thoughts or ideas before they disappear.
This is super helpful for me, especially as someone with ADHD working in the creative industry.
If you want to try the app, you can download Expo Go and scan this QR code.

YOUR ADHD APP IS NOT A SUPPORT TOOL.
It is another place where the user feels behind.
That is the brutal problem with most ADHD and wellness products.
They look calm.
They sound supportive.
They use soft colors.
They talk about self-care.
But the experience still says:
“Complete the plan.”
“Track the habit.”
“Follow the routine.”
“Stay consistent.”
“Do better tomorrow.”
For an ADHD user, that is not support.
That is another system to fail at.
The user does not leave because they are lazy.
They leave because the app asks for energy before it gives relief.
Too many steps.
Too many choices.
Too much content.
Too much setup.
Too much pressure before one clear win.
And then founders call it a retention problem.
No.
It is a product empathy problem.
If your user opens the app already overwhelmed, your first job is not to educate them.
Your first job is to lower the cost of starting.
That is what this ADHD wellness app concept is built around:
1-minute content
clear daily progress
ADHD buddy support
community touchpoints
expert guidance
low cognitive load
tiny actions users can actually complete
The goal was not to make the app “pretty.”
The goal was to make the user feel:
“I can start.”
That moment is the real conversion point.
Not the sign-up.
Not the onboarding.
Not the dashboard.
The first tiny moment where the user feels less alone, less overloaded, and more able to take action.
ADHD UX should not feel like another task.
It should feel like the first small step back into control.

Here's my entry for the Anything challenge 😊
Finances — Freelancer Finance Manager
A personal finance web app built for freelancers to track income, expenses, cash flow, forecasting, and annual goals — all in one place.
What existed before the challenge:
The core app was built in early 2026, starting from a Google Sheets template. It included Dashboard, Income, Expenses, Cashflow, Forecasting, and Annual summary.
What was built or changed during the challenge:
Full email/password authentication with per-user data isolation
Multi-user support — new users start with empty data, existing data assigned to original account
Bank Excel import in Clashflow — reads bank export format (DD-MMM-YY dates, European number format), auto-creates matching Income/Expense records
Dynamic expense categories — users can add/remove categories, synced across the expenses page
Inline cell editing across Ingresos, Gastos, and Flujo de Caja — tap any cell to edit
Multi-row delete with checkbox selection
Dashboard month/year selector — filter all KPIs and charts by any period
expenses per category donut chart with legend
Profile photo upload and user email display in sidebar
Language toggle (Spanish/English US) persisted per user
Deletion propagation — deleting a clashflow row removes the linked Income/Expense record
Built entirely with Anything. Live at: https://finances.created.app
