I looked over tons of programs and they are just so moronic missing core features... I need something for ADHD. I need pop out window, or program which can lock whole screen for 5-15 seconds, as even with pop out window and loud sound (i have ultra executive dysfunctions) from overwhelm i developed habit - i will instatnly close pop out window and don't even realize alarm happened... I AM llooking for windows program. I don't trust Android apps and i doubt there will be something mainstrem with millions of downloads like that besides...

I Am also looking for to do app, i checked over 100, they are so bad, it is not perfectinism, but they are missing core fatures, like ticktick doesn't have even unending reminder and it is vehement to use. So what if i am afk??? Or todoist, if you miss to mark a daily task as complete soon all your task will show different dates of completion like 15 january, wednesday, monday, it is impossible to navigate, there is not even checkmark to know that oyu finished a task a day...

Other ppl with ADHD agree, so it is not me................

I give devs tips for their programs and they call me brilliant, it is like all devs have 70IQ when it comes to UI and basic features... I find all programs incredibly moronic... See like 100 things which are so stupid in most vehement annoying ways instantly...

All these programs... e.g. ticktick is so retarded, you have to select every overude task one by one and mark them as "won't do" otherwise you miss some you can't mark task in your current day as finished. I am talking about daily recurring tasks, where is no point to prevent that as you will have exact same task a day, this is so straight forward, how this gets even to release??? It is more annoying them help...

Thanks for help!

buy an “analog” time timer, better than any digital app. And trello is my digital solution! Not for keeping time though, that doesn’t work! “Time timer” also has an app, but isn’t as good as the old school clock! It has a place on my desk, manually have to set the time, and I can look at it when I want to!

But if i have multiple recurring timers, this won't help me! Also i need titles for it, we need not in 1980 to have analog timer, god even suggesting that sounds ridiculous. Isn't there normal app i can use like i described?

I didnt mention maybe, but i have tons of countdown timers and some recurring.

I was just looking at the timer timer and it is like one clock, wtf?

I’m trying to explain that I’ve accepted that multiple timers, don’t work. There is nothing wrong with a time timer, they also use it in schools.

Why need more timers? To get frustrated? Did that, got medicated and learned about my deficits!

This doesn't work for me, i need to give them titles and activate them by need, but thanks!

No problem, but have you tried Trello? It’s a kanban board, with plenty of options…. that also has timer options, and cards that you can give special add-ons. It had an integrated phone app, works on any computer. They have plenty of add-one calendar integrations, but it’s not ‘free’, because extra options will require a paid plan, which I have - so I don’t know about the free version.

This is to do app. I was talking now about countdown timer sw. I didn't like it anyways tried it awhile and it is expensive... there are much better apps! It would be better to buy also 100$ to do app program once, than pay 10$ monthly, it will pay itself in a year...

It is not my fault all programs are retarded, ppl with ADHD agree they are missing core features, it is not only me. If it was only me, but... When todoist is so retarded for each missed task it will show date older of one day, then you are shown like january 15, monday, wednesday next to tasks, it is like how is something as stupid as this even released...

I am not kidding i give random devs feedback and they call it brilliant, i have feeling all other ppl are like monkeys...
