byโข

Hi Product Hunt! ๐ Iโm Thomas, the maker of NeuroDock.
Iโm a neurodivergent product person, and for years Iโve watched my brain (and many of my friends') burn way too much energy on the "meta" of work. Decoding buried asks in Slack, re-reading dense PDFs, and hyperfocusing past midnight on stuff I promised Iโd stop at 6 p.m.
I thought LLMs would fix this by default, but they often made it worse, validating my spirals and re-analyzing the same decisions for the fifth time.
So, I built the substrate I actually wanted. NeuroDock is a set of tools designed to help you work with your brain, not against it:
๐ฉ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐: Translates dense content (transcripts, docs, images) into the format your brain needs, answer-first for ADHD, literal subtext for ASD, or plain language for Dyslexia + other neurodivergent disability translations.
๐ด๐ช๐ท ๐บ๐๐๐๐๐๐: Five dedicated servers for the executive-function heavy lifting: task decomposition, memory, time management, and communication. Plug them right into Cursor or Claude Code.
๐ป๐๐ ๐ฎ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐: A layer that wonโt sycophantically agree with you. It knows when youโre spiraling and provides a circuit breaker. (Donโt worry, you can always override it, it just wonโt pretend a 2 a.m. rabbit hole is a "great idea.")
๐๐ก๐ฒ ๐ข๐ญ ๐ฆ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฆ๐:
Local-first: Your data stays on your machine. No telemetry.
Open: AGPL-3.0. Everything is transparent.
Self-ID: No diagnosis required. You know your own brain best.
Iโd love for you to try it:
Head over to neurodock.org , youโll be up and running in a couple of minutes.
Iโm active and enjoy working on this project to try and help others, so ask me anything. Iโm especially looking for honest feedback on whatโs broken or which specific neuro-skills are missing. I want the bug reports more than the upvotes, so tear into it.
Thanks for taking a look! ๐

@thomas_lennonย This is a really thoughtful take on a genuine problem. The distinction between LLMs validating spirals vs. actually helping you break them is sharpโmost tools optimize for compliance over what actually works for how neurodivergent brains operate. The browser extension idea in particular feels like it solves a real friction point that most productivity software misses entirely.
