What is body doubling for ADHD?
Body doubling means working alongside another presence — real or virtual — so an ADHD brain can start and stay on task. That presence gives the external structure ADHD brains often need to begin. Just Start gives you an AI body double that checks in during focus sessions, plus a gentle daily nudge timed to your peak focus hour.
How is this different from a normal Pomodoro timer?
Pomodoro assumes you can already start — the hardest part of ADHD. Just Start removes that wall: one tap begins a session with zero setup, AI breaks an overwhelming task into tiny first steps, and the timer adapts to your energy (5 minutes on a low day, 90 on a high one) instead of forcing a rigid 25.
Is Just Start free?
Yes. The focus timer, three ambient sounds, focus garden, XP and streaks are free forever. Pro unlocks AI body doubling, all 10+ soundscapes, advanced stats, iCloud sync and unlimited custom timers — $7.99/month, $49.99/year (1 month free), or $58.99 once for lifetime.
Do I have to pay to try Pro?
No. The annual plan starts with a full month free through the App Store — no credit-card friction. Cancel any time before it renews and you pay nothing. Or stay on the free plan as long as you like.
Will it work without internet?
The timer, ambient sounds, focus garden and stats all work fully offline. The AI features (task breakdown and body-double check-ins) need a connection because they generate fresh, personalized text each time.
Does it have Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets?
Yes. Your streak, level and focus minutes live on the Home Screen, with Lock Screen widgets too (circular, rectangular and inline on iOS 16+). Out of sight is out of mind for ADHD — so we keep your progress visible without opening the app.
Is it really built for ADHD, or just marketed that way?
Every feature targets a specific ADHD pain point: task initiation (one-tap start + AI first step), time blindness (a visual, energy-adaptive timer), object permanence (always-visible widgets), and rejection sensitivity (grace days, so one missed day doesn’t erase your streak). No shame, no rigid systems.
