01 · the check-in
how's your brain today?
foggy, okay-ish, or sparking. that's the whole question. your answer decides what the app shows you for the rest of the day, and you can change it whenever things shift.
cloudlist
a to-do list
that actually gets your brain
built by someone with adhd,
for people with adhd.
you're on the list. we'll email you once.
that didn't go through. try again, or email hello@cloudlist.app
one email when it launches. nothing else.
most to-do apps assume you wake up the same person every day
so the list stays the same whether you slept nine hours or three.
the task you dreaded on monday is still sitting there on thursday.
in the same font, at the same size, asking the same thing.
and when you can't face it, the number just goes up.
cloudlist starts somewhere else.
it asks how you are first.
how it works
02 · now and next
only what fits, right now
tasks sort into now and next. now is what your current energy can handle. next is everything else, dimmed and waiting, not asking anything of you. and if something has been sitting untouched for days it surfaces on its own under still here, with no scolding, just a note about how long it's been.
03 · break it down
big things become small things
when a task looks too big to start, cloudlist offers to split it. you get steps small enough that beginning stops feeling like a decision. edit them, reorder them, add your own. starting is the hard part, so this makes the first step smaller.
04 · brain dump
empty your head onto the page
type everything at once. a list, a sentence, a ramble at 1am. cloudlist reads it and turns it into real tasks with energy levels and time estimates already filled in. nothing has to be organised before you write it down.
05 · your sky
a kindness streak, not a guilt streak
it counts the days you showed up, not the days you performed. miss one and it holds. you get a week of clouds, small trophies for things that deserve noticing, and a short reflection on what you actually did.
built for how adhd actually works
four things that make the day harder than it looks, and what cloudlist does about each.
01
task initiation paralysis
knowing what to do and being unable to start is not laziness, it's the gap between intention and action. splitting a task into steps closes that gap.
02
time blindness
half an hour and half a day feel the same from the inside. every task carries a time estimate, and focus mode runs a timer sized to the attention span you have.
03
out of sight, out of mind
a task you can't see may as well not exist. anything untouched for five days comes back on its own, without a telling-off.
04
overwhelm shutdown
twenty things reads as one impossible thing. cloudlist shows you what fits and quietly holds the rest until you're ready.
i made cloudlist because nothing else ever worked for the way my brain works.
every task app assumed i would remember to open it. every planner assumed i had linear focus. every system assumed guilt and streaks would push me forward, and instead they flattened me on the days i could not keep up.
after years of trying to bend myself into other people's apps, a friend told me to stop and build the one i actually needed. so that is what i did.
cloudlist is for people whose brains work like mine. warm, forgiving, and quietly effective on the days that are hard.

questions
anything else, email hello@cloudlist.app
very soon. leave your email at the top and you'll get one message the day it opens, and nothing after that unless you want it.
the free version is properly usable: 10 active tasks, one break-it-down and one brain dump a day, seven days of history, and all three themes. pro removes the limits and adds focus sounds, priority flagging, full month history, and a weekly streak save. there's a seven day trial if you want to try it.
no. cloudlist was built around adhd, but nothing about it requires a diagnosis. if the way it works makes sense to you, it's for you.
yes. pick a task and focus mode runs a pomodoro sized to the attention span you set during onboarding. pro adds ambient sound.
not yet. iphone only for now.
break it down and brain dump send your text to anthropic's claude to generate a response, and nothing else. it isn't stored and isn't used for training. both ask for your consent during onboarding and can be turned off anytime in settings.
nothing bad happens. your tasks are still there, your streak is handled gently, and there's no guilt screen waiting for you.
anytime, through your apple id settings. no flow designed to wear you down.
tell us and we'll fix it. email hello@cloudlist.app with what you were doing and what you expected instead. your device and ios version help, but send it either way. a vague report is better than no report.
we'd love to hear it. email hello@cloudlist.app. we can't promise to build everything, but every suggestion gets read, and a good few of the things already in the app started as someone's email.
give it a try
free to start, no card, and you don't have to decide anything to begin.
be there when it opens
leave your email and we'll tell you the moment cloudlist is ready.
you're on the list. we'll email you once.
