Hi Product Hunt! ๐Ÿ‘‹ Iโ€™m Thomas, the maker of NeuroDock. Iโ€™m a neurodivergent product person, and for years Iโ€™ve 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 Iโ€™d 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: ๐‘ฉ๐’“๐’๐’˜๐’”๐’†๐’“ ๐‘ฌ๐’™๐’•๐’†๐’๐’”๐’Š๐’๐’: 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. ๐‘ด๐‘ช๐‘ท ๐‘บ๐’†๐’“๐’—๐’†๐’“๐’”: Five dedicated servers for the executive-function heavy lifting: task decomposition, memory, time management, and communication. Plug them right into Cursor or Claude Code. ๐‘ป๐’‰๐’† ๐‘ฎ๐’–๐’‚๐’“๐’…๐’“๐’‚๐’Š๐’๐’”: A layer that wonโ€™t sycophantically agree with you. It knows when youโ€™re spiraling and provides a circuit breaker. (Donโ€™t worry, you can always override it, it just wonโ€™t pretend a 2 a.m. rabbit hole is a "great idea.") ๐–๐ก๐ฒ ๐ข๐ญ ๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฆ๐ž: 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. Iโ€™d love for you to try it: Head over to neurodock.org , youโ€™ll be up and running in a couple of minutes. Iโ€™m active and enjoy working on this project to try and help others, so ask me anything. Iโ€™m especially looking for honest feedback on whatโ€™s 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! ๐Ÿ’œ Thomas neurodock.org ยท github.com/tlennon-ie/neurodock

@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 sharpโ€”most 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.

@saulfleischmanย Thank you for the kind words, that's the goal , to offer tools that solve every day problems that users who are neurodivergent face.
