Hey Product Hunt 👋 I have ADHD. I've downloaded basically every to-do app in existence, and they all fail me the exact same way: it works for two weeks, then I have one bad day, the app buries me in red overdue badges and broken streaks, and I delete it out of shame. Those apps are built for consistent brains. ADHD brains aren't consistent. That's not a discipline problem, it's a design problem. So I built Impetus, the task app that forgives you. Miss a day and nothing turns red. Miss a week and it helps you restart instead of showing you the wreckage. Capture thoughts the second they hit, keep today small, treat restarting as normal instead of failure. A few honest details: • 14-day free trial, no credit card • When the trial ends your data stays readable. I don't hold your tasks hostage • I built this for myself first and use it every single day I'd love honest feedback, especially from ADHD folks: what's the app that guilt-tripped you the hardest? I'm building the antidote, so tell me what to kill next. Roman

What's the task app that guilt-tripped you the hardest?

Real question, because it's the reason Impetus exists.
I have ADHD. Every to-do app I ever tried worked great for two weeks, then I had one bad day and came back to a wall of red overdue badges and a dead streak. So I deleted it. Repeat with the next app, for years.
I'm launching Impetus here tomorrow. It's the anti-guilt version: nothing turns red, streaks don't exist, and coming back after a bad week is treated as normal instead of failure.
But I want to hear your version. Which app made you feel the worst when life happened? And what would an app have to do to make restarting feel safe instead of shameful? I'm reading everything and the best answers are genuinely going to shape what I build next.
