Planning is easy. Starting is the hard part.

Startlet is a calm day planner designed with ADHD brains in mind. Every task begins with a tiny first step, there is one clear button per screen, and nothing ever scolds you for a rest day.

Why we made it

Most planners are good at lists. The hard part is the moment before you begin, when a task feels too big to touch.

Startlet makes that first step tiny, keeps one clear next thing on screen, and rewards starting rather than finishing. A small start grows something in your world, and a day off is just a rest day.

What it does

Small starts, kindly counted.

  • Tiny first steps

    Every task comes with a first step small enough to start, like "open the email". Pick from 5 to 10 ideas matched to the task, or write your own. One button starts the next thing.

  • Mind Offload

    Tap the mic and say everything on your mind, or type it. Messy is fine. Startlet sorts it into separate tasks, each with its own day and time, and nothing lands on your day until you say so. Free includes 3 sorts a day; Plus makes them unlimited.

  • Focus room

    A clean ring timer for the step in front of you, with just Pause and Done. It follows you to the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island as a Live Activity.

  • Days you showed up

    Startlet counts the days you started something, not days in a row. The number only goes up, and rest days never reset it.

  • Worlds that grow

    Every start grows something in your world. On rest days your world rests too. It never wilts, and everything you grow stays.

  • Finds

    Small surprises turn up as you keep starting: a butterfly in the Meadow, a seahorse in the Aquarium, a comet in Space.

  • Themes and icons

    Choose Soft Daylight, Sea Glass, Clay or Lantern. Each theme has a light and a dark palette, and the app icon can match.

  • Widgets

    See your next task on the Home Screen and Lock Screen, set against the world you chose.
