Late No More - Never be late again, built by a team with ADHD

by•
Being late sucks. Most calendar apps don't give notifications that stand out to ADHD brains. Late No More gives notifications that escalate in intensity as it gets closer to the start time. If you ignore the popups, you'll get verbal alerts (or a song).

Another great launch Jeremy, 🙌 !!!
Loved the intro, Jeremy, it genuinely made me laugh! Congrats on launching Late No More, an innovative solution for those of us prone to distraction. Keep up the inspiring work!
Maker
hehe thanks I had fun recording the video with my friend
Interesting concept, all the best!
Lol, this video. Somewhat related: I add a separate calendar event when I need to travel to a meeting to block off and remind myself when to leave.
Maker
yeah that's key for me too. Maybe in the future we can add support for calculating travel time automatically.
I love everything about this. A solid example of a really thoughtful product idea and design which has been well executed. Congratulations to you and your team!
Maker
thanks!
Good luck with the launch, team! <3
I love it, I am definitely in the audience for this. Curious, how did you find building a desktop app and what was your experience testing it to find bugs?
Maker
we've been building other desktop apps (focusbear.io - distraction blocking) so had some experience there. For testing, I used it myself for 2 months to iron out bugs.
I was looking at this and thought- hey wait that looks like focus bear!! is this separate from focus bear, or do i just need to update? I love the 15 minute and 2 minute reminder - because i always forget within 10 minutes 😂
Maker
lol yup complementary. We built this so we can do calendar integration with Focus Bear. If you install Late No More, you can trigger activities in Focus Bear at certain times by including fbtrigger:{activity_name} in the event description. (We'll make it easier to set it up later)
I started reading the description and then lost focus, (navigated to other things) … came across the article a second time in inbox and downloaded app 😂… need to get it together.
Maker
haha story of my life. I've set up a tab limit in Focus Bear (max 10 tabs) to reduce the potential for this.
This is great! I would like a feature where I could record my own voice telling me to do whatever needed to be done for the task etc. I feel like my voice would be more of a trigger to get something done
Maker
oh good idea. You can technically do this already by making a youtube video and setting up the video to trigger if you're late.
