Squirrel - 38 tiny Mac apps for ADHD brains — no subscription

Hey Product Hunt 👋

I'm Peter, and I built Squirrel because I was diagnosed with ADHD late — after years of being told I was lazy or "not living up to my potential." I wasn't lazy. My brain just runs on different wiring for attention and reward, and every productivity tool I tried was built for brains that aren't mine.

So I stopped looking for the one big app to fix me and built 38 tiny ones instead — each doing exactly one thing for one specific ADHD moment:

• a clock that makes time visible instead of abstract (time blindness is real)
• a tool that shatters a scary task into 2-minute pieces and shows you only the first
• something that makes finishing a task actually feel like something (our dopamine doesn't reward us the way most brains do)
• a kinder inner-voice tool for the 2am rejection-sensitivity spiral

They're grouped into 6 themed packs (Focus & Distraction, Time & Timers, Decisions & Starting, Reward & Momentum, Mind & Feelings, Body & Daily Life).

Three things I refused to compromise on:
• Buy once. Most ADHD apps are $8–48/month. Charging a recurring fee for the thing ADHD folks struggle with — remembering to cancel — felt wrong. $5.99 a pack, $17.99 for all 38, yours forever.
• No account, fully offline. Nothing leaves your Mac. No login, no cloud, no tracking. Your bad days are nobody's data.
• Built on the research, not hustle culture — executive function, RSD, interoception, variable-ratio reward. (They're wellness tools, not a cure — I'm honest about that.)

I'd genuinely love your feedback: which tool resonates, what's missing, what your brain needs that I haven't built yet. (Launch gift for Product Hunt: PRODUCTSQRLHUNT = 25% off through July 6th.) Ask me anything. 🐿️
