Talk into your phone. KeptMind listens, sorts your thoughts into clear next steps, and nudges you only when it matters.
Adult ADHD often looks like missed texts, shame spirals around overdue lists, and brilliant ideas lost between meetings. KeptMind is built for capture under twelve seconds and smaller Today lists on hard days. The five traits that determine whether a productivity app survives an adult ADHD year are voice capture, automatic triage, energy-aware lists, escalating reminders, and calendar sync that does not require maintenance — KeptMind is built around exactly those traits.
Hold the mic after a parking-lot realization or between errands — speak messy, get sorted next steps without opening a laptop. Text dump works when silence is required. The capture is intentionally short: most ADHD thoughts arrive in a 5–12 second window, and keeping the system aligned to that window is what makes it survive a bad week.
Mark only true must-dos as critical so push, SMS, and call nudges escalate when notification blindness hits — not for every grocery item. The escalation logic is deliberately conservative: most pings stay at push, SMS is reserved for items where missing has real cost, and the call tier is per-task opt-in only.
For adults juggling work meetings, family logistics, and personal admin in the same brain, the value is not "more features" — it is fewer decisions at capture time, fewer reminder channels to ignore, and a Today view that shrinks instead of shouting on bad days.
Set energy to low and KeptMind hides non-critical work so Today stays finishable — fighting the fantasy that every overdue task deserves equal effort tonight. The same person on Wednesday morning and Friday afternoon needs a different default; the system matches the day rather than the calendar.
Calendar sync is optional and uni-directional by default — externalize first, time-box second when executive function returns. Most adult ADHD users connect Google Calendar within the first month, but the app works fully without it.
Pair with the "draft my week" feature on a higher-energy Sunday: AI suggests a flexible plan that respects calendar busy state and energy patterns, then you adjust. The point is not to schedule every block — it is to remove the planning tax that ADHD adults often skip until Monday lunchtime.
A common adult ADHD failure mode is capturing a task into a system but never returning to it. KeptMind closes the loop automatically: voice → AI parsing → structured task with energy and date → Today list with escalation if you flagged it critical. There is no separate processing step required.
For tasks that genuinely need expansion (a project with sub-steps, a complex errand), the AI split feature breaks one task into 3–6 micro-steps. The original capture stays intact; the split adds clarity without forcing you to re-enter context.
Recurring tasks (medication, weekly standing meetings, monthly bills) work natively with energy-aware filtering. The recurrence does not break on bad days — it just respects the brain it is running on.
KeptMind alone covers most adult ADHD use cases: capture, triage, energy filtering, escalation, and calendar sync. About 70% of users we surveyed run only KeptMind plus their existing calendar, no other productivity tool.
For adults who maintain a project management system at work (Linear, Asana, Notion), pair: capture in KeptMind, move structured items to the work tool when at a desk. The handoff is manual but the capture is preserved — and that is what most workflows need.
Pair with Tiimo or Routinery for visual routine anchors if morning structure is your bottleneck. KeptMind captures the chaos that arrives between scheduled blocks; the routine app handles the predictable shape of the day.
Audio is deleted within 24 hours after transcription by default. The text task stays under your account until you delete it. We do not train third-party models on your voice or sell captures to advertisers. The privacy posture is built around the reality that adult ADHD users often capture things they would not type — relationship worries, medical questions, career anxieties.
Sensitive captures (medical info, financial details) can be marked private, in which case they never sync to calendar or third-party integrations. The default is sync; the opt-out is one toggle.
