I Built a Messaging App for Forgetful, Distracted (ADHD), and Overwhelmed People Like Me
Hey entrepreneurs!
Hello! I’m someone with ADHD who’s always struggled with staying on top of messages and communication. Forgetting things, losing track of important info, and juggling a busy schedule - sound familiar? 😅
For the past two years, I’ve been working on a messaging app designed for people like me. Not to replace the apps we already love, but to complement them and help prioritize the messages that truly matter.
Here’s why I felt the need to create this:
🌟 Not all messages are equally important.
I believe that some messages deserve special attention - whether it’s your mom reminding you of an appointment, your best friend sharing life-changing news, or a business partner discussing the next big step. But, most apps don’t make it easy to stay focused on your important messages.
🌟 My Exclusive UoD Framework (Undecided or Decided)
This is my way of helping me classify messages effortlessly so nothing important slips through the cracks. Every important message fits into one of three simple statuses:
- Undecided-status: These are things you’re still considering.
- Decided-status: These are things you know when to finish.
- Done-status: These are things you’ve already completed.
❓ Why do I need this?
Because forgetful, distracted, or busy people often worry about missing important messages.
Normal messages? Use your regular apps. But a few special messages deserve a little extra attention, and those messages need a dedicated app.
👋 As someone who gets easily distracted, I’d love your feedback:
- Does this sound like something you’d use to manage your important messages better?
- What’s your biggest frustration with popular messaging apps right now?
If this resonates with you, I’d be happy to share early access and get your honest thoughts on how to improve it. Let me know if you’re interested!
Edit (1): thank you for your interests with my idea, I got few great direct messages and chat from other people after posted this, you guys show huge support and love for my idea, this means alot to me. I would love to share a much as possible, but due to reddit rule and setting, I could not reach out directly to many people daily. Still so happy to know that I building something that helpful.
