Talk into your phone. KeptMind listens, sorts your thoughts into clear next steps, and nudges you only when it matters.
Llama Life for time visibility; KeptMind for deciding the next step when executive function is low. These tools address different ADHD bottlenecks: Llama Life solves time blindness by making the passage of time visible during execution, while KeptMind solves capture loss and task selection by externalizing thoughts and filtering by energy. If you know what to do but lose track of time, Llama Life helps. If you do not know what to do or cannot remember what you need to do, KeptMind helps.
Use both: externalize thoughts in KeptMind throughout the day, then time-box a focused session in Llama Life when you sit down to execute. KeptMind handles the input side (capturing and sorting); Llama Life handles the execution side (maintaining time awareness during work).
The handoff is natural: review your KeptMind Today list, pick 3-5 tasks for a focused block, load them into Llama Life with time estimates, and work through them with the visual countdown. After the session, return to KeptMind for new captures and energy-based triage of what comes next.
Llama Life displays your task list as a visual countdown bar — each task takes a slice of the day, and you can see time depleting in real time. For ADHD adults with time blindness, watching the bar shrink creates urgency that a standard text-based list cannot. The visual representation of time passing is the core value proposition.
The tool is strongest when you already have a clear task list to work through — it adds time visibility, not triage. Building that list is where KeptMind fits: capture by voice through the day, then load the sorted tasks into Llama Life to time-box. Llama Life assumes the capture problem is already solved.
Capture friction (getting thoughts out of your head fast) and time-boxing friction (allocating tasks to time) are different problems requiring different tools. Llama Life assumes the capture problem is solved; KeptMind solves capture first and leaves time-boxing optional. Solving them in the wrong order means you have perfectly timed blocks for tasks you forgot to write down.
ADHD adults who struggle with both often benefit from splitting the tools: KeptMind for capture and triage (morning to evening), Llama Life for the focused execution session (2-hour deep work block where you already know what to do). The split respects the different cognitive modes required for each activity.
Llama Life makes time visible but does not adapt to your energy state — it shows the same countdown regardless of whether you are functioning at full capacity or barely awake. KeptMind adapts the visible task list to your current energy: fewer tasks on low days, full list on high days. The two types of awareness complement each other.
On a high-energy day, both tools shine: KeptMind surfaces the full list, you pick tasks for a Llama Life session, and the timer keeps you on track. On a low-energy day, KeptMind reduces the list to what is achievable, and you may skip Llama Life entirely because the reduced list does not need time pressure — it needs gentleness and smaller scope instead.
The combination accounts for ADHD variability: good days get structure and time awareness; bad days get reduced scope and energy matching. No single tool handles both modes well, which is why the two-tool stack works better than either tool alone for most ADHD adults.
