Unstuck - Stop losing hours to ADHD waiting mode

by•
Waiting mode is the ADHD freeze where one 2pm meeting makes the whole morning unusable, your brain guards the clock instead of starting anything. Unstuck reads your Google Calendar (read-only), finds the gap before your next commitment, scores which task is safe to start, and fires hard-stop alerts at T-15 and T-5 so starting doesn't risk being late. Free tier available.

Hi PH, founder here. I built this because I kept losing entire afternoons to a single 30-minute call. Not procrastination, the ADHD "waiting mode" pattern where your working memory babysits the clock and nothing else fits. Unstuck externalizes that clock-guarding: gap detection, one safe-to-start task, and alerts you can actually trust to interrupt you. Note on the name: we're "Unstuck, ADHD Waiting Mode" (waitingmode.app), not the CBT journaling app of the same name. Happy to answer anything about the mechanism or the build.

the hard-stop alerts are honestly the part that makes this click for me. knowing i have a guaranteed "you have to stop now" signal takes the anxiety out of starting something i know i'll get sucked into. calendar read-only is a nice touch too.
