About

Sales guy turned indie builder. ADHD brain, so I build tools that work with messy brains instead of against them. Shipping Impetus, a task app that forgives you for having a bad day. Also make AI receptionists for law firms and whatever else won't leave my head at 2am. Girl dad. I use everything I ship." Punchier: "I build small, boring apps that do one job well and don't nag you. ADHD myself, which is the whole product roadmap. Solo founder, night owl, girl dad. Current obsession: Impetus, an ADHD companion launching here soon. If it's in my profile, I use it daily.

What's the task app that guilt-tripped you the hardest?

Real question, because it's the reason Impetus exists.
I have ADHD. Every to-do app I ever tried worked great for two weeks, then I had one bad day and came back to a wall of red overdue badges and a dead streak. So I deleted it. Repeat with the next app, for years.
I'm launching Impetus here tomorrow. It's the anti-guilt version: nothing turns red, streaks don't exist, and coming back after a bad week is treated as normal instead of failure.
But I want to hear your version. Which app made you feel the worst when life happened? And what would an app have to do to make restarting feel safe instead of shameful? I'm reading everything and the best answers are genuinely going to shape what I build next.
