RescueTime
Being able to focus requires you to keep track of the time as well. When suffering from ADHD, it can be quite easy to get lost in time, engaging in different activities while the important tasks remain at a standstill.
RescueTime is a smartphone app that enables you to keep track of the time you spend on your computer. The app smoothly runs in the background while tracking the time spent on each activity. In the end, it will calculate and display the time actually spent on a particular activity, in contrast to how much time you might be thinking it took.
Due – Reminders & Timers
It is quite easy to get distracted when you are suffering from ADHD. You need constant reminders for carrying on with even the simplest of tasks. Due is the app that can help tackle this problem head-on.
The app features a user-friendly interface where you can set timers and reminders for all the important tasks of the day. Whether it is taking out the trash, doing the dishes, or taking your medicine, the app will remind you of them all.
Focus@Will
Not being able to focus is another mountain of an obstacle for people with ADHD. Losing focus from tasks is a matter of seconds. The app utilizes uniquely customized audio where all sounds similar to the human voice are removed. This is because the human mind is programmed to pay attention to a human voice, which ultimately distracts us.
By removing the human element from sounds, the app enables you to focus on the task at hand much better. While the app does come with a paid subscription, the free trial version of the app does offer enough functionality to give you an idea of the concept.
Freedom
When you are online, there is an abundance of distracting things keeping you from completing your primary tasks. Therefore, Freedom is what you need to keep all distractions at bay. It is among the best website and app blockers that enable you to keep all the distractions blocked from all your devices, including your phone, tablet, and laptop.
The app comes with a free trial that does not require any payment information; you may sign up for a paid subscription once you experience the app firsthand. According to the app’s developers, users of Freedom have reported gaining an average of 2.5 hours of productive hours each day.
