BreakThru. One thing at a time.

The problem

It was never a lack of lists.

You open the list, see thirty items, feel the spike, and close it. That is not a discipline problem. It is everything screaming at once, the one condition an ADHD brain cannot work in. Here is the same pile, two ways.

Every other app

Thirty open loops staring back. Every unchecked box a small failure.

Ember wagging his finger — With BreakThru

How it works

The loop.

Five moves, and only one of them is visible at a time. That is the whole point.

Dump it

Tap the mic and talk for up to five minutes. Work, errands, the thing from three weeks ago that keeps resurfacing at 2am. No typing, no sorting, no filter.

It sorts

AI pulls the real tasks out of the ramble and sizes each one. The pile becomes a queue you never have to look at. Holding it is BreakThru's job now.

One thing appears

One task, front and center. Hold to commit and a focus timer starts. No list underneath it, no badge counting what is left. Nothing else exists.

The doors lock

Optional App Lock blocks the apps that eat your afternoons for exactly as long as you are committed. Not forever. Just until the thing is done.

The win lands

Finish and it actually registers. Momentum points, a real moment of credit, and then the next one thing appears. Finishing becomes the habit, not list-keeping.

Ember, the coach

It follows you into your texts.

Ember lives in the app and in your iMessage. When you go quiet on something you committed to, it checks in. Not to nag you. Because it remembers.

It believes you. Say it's done and it's done. Say you're stuck and that's information, not failure.
It shrinks the task, never you. Stuck on "do taxes"? The task becomes "put last year's return on the desk."
It never shows you the pile. The list stays hidden in your texts too. You get one thing, everywhere.

Questions

The honest FAQ.

What is BreakThru?

BreakThru is a focus app for ADHD brains. You brain-dump everything on your mind by voice, it pulls out the real tasks, hides the full list, and shows you only one thing to do at a time. It's on iPhone with a free 7-day trial.

How is BreakThru different from a to-do list app?

A normal to-do list shows you the whole pile, which for an ADHD brain is paralyzing. BreakThru does the opposite: it hides the list and surfaces a single task, so you commit to one thing instead of staring at forty. You dump by voice instead of typing.

Is BreakThru good for ADHD?

It's built specifically around how ADHD brains work: voice brain-dumps instead of typing, one task at a time instead of an overwhelming list, and gentle accountability. It's a focus and accountability tool, not a medical product, and it does not diagnose or treat any condition.

How much does BreakThru cost?

BreakThru is free for 7 days. After the trial it's $9.99 per month or $59.99 per year.

What devices does BreakThru work on?

BreakThru is available on iPhone. An Android version isn't available yet.

Does BreakThru sell my data?

No. Your brain dumps are yours. There's no selling your data and no cross-app tracking, and you can delete your account and everything in it from inside the app.

The fine print, up front.

BreakThru is a focus and accountability tool, not a medical product. It doesn't diagnose or treat anything. It's built around how your brain already works instead of asking it to work differently.

Your brain dumps are yours. No selling your data, no cross-app tracking, and you can delete your account and everything in it from inside the app.
