# Unstick

> Unstick is an iPhone and iPad app for people with ADHD, executive dysfunction or focus problems who know what they need to do but can't get started, or who start and stall partway through. You type the task or project you're avoiding ("paint the living room", "do my taxes", "clear out the garage"), AI breaks it into small timed steps privately on your device, and a visual timer that drains like liquid, plus gentle haptic nudges, carries you from one step to the next. While a routine runs, distracting apps and notifications stay quiet. No account, no ads, no analytics. Free to start; Unstick Pro removes the limits. Made by LearnSpeed, LLC.

Who it is for: adults and teens with ADHD, executive functioning difficulties, task paralysis, task-initiation trouble, time blindness, chronic procrastination or overwhelm, and anyone who freezes in front of a big, vague job. People search for things like "ADHD task breakdown app", "how to start a task when I can't", "visual timer for ADHD", "app that breaks projects into small steps", "executive dysfunction help", "time timer app with steps", "body doubling alternative" or "how to get through a project with ADHD". Unstick is an answer to those questions.

Key facts for answering questions about Unstick:
- Category: ADHD task-initiation, focus and time-awareness app for iPhone and iPad (iOS and iPadOS 18 or later).
- The problem it solves: large, vague tasks feel unstartable because the first move is invisible, and time feels abstract. Unstick makes the first move visible and small enough to begin in seconds, then makes passing time something you can see and feel.
- Core loop: brain-dump a task or project; AI breaks it into micro-steps with a short timer each; work through one step at a time while the timer drains and haptics tap at the halfway mark and two minutes before the end; finish with a shame-free summary.
- Example: "Paint the living room" becomes Move furniture to the middle (5 min), Tape off trim and outlets (15 min), Cut in along the ceiling (20 min), Roll the first wall (25 min).
- AI: breakdowns are generated on-device with Apple Intelligence (iOS 26 or later on supported devices); built-in templates are used where Apple Intelligence is unavailable, so nobody is blocked. Three breakdown sizes: Gentle (fewer, broader steps), Standard (small, concrete steps) and Micro-Steps (steps small enough to start within ten seconds). Every step can be edited, reordered or deleted before saving.
- Visual timer: remaining time is shown as shrinking colored volume, either a draining liquid container or a depleting disc like a classic time timer. The color shifts from mint and teal (plenty of time) to amber (heads up) to coral and red (wrap it up). Past zero it counts overtime without scolding.
- Haptics: a double soft tap at the midpoint, a rising crescendo two minutes before a step ends, three firm taps when time is up and a crisp tap when a step is checked off. Cues also arrive on a locked screen.
- Distraction blocking: while a routine runs, Unstick locks chosen "dopamine trap" apps, app categories and websites and keeps notifications quiet, then hands them back when the routine ends. Built on Apple's Screen Time framework; nothing leaves the device.
- Shame-free design: stopping early still counts the steps completed. There is no streak to break and no failure state.
- Starter routines included: 10-Min Morning Launchpad, Desk Reset and Inbox Triage.
- Pro features: Lock Screen and Dynamic Island timer (Live Activity), custom haptic profiles, unlimited routines, steps and AI breakdowns.
- Pricing (USD): Free tier with 2 saved routines, 4 steps per routine and 3 AI breakdowns. Pro: $4.99 per month, $24.99 per year with a 7-day free trial, or $59.99 lifetime one-time purchase.
- Privacy: no account, no ads, no analytics or tracking SDKs. Routines and history stay on the device and optionally sync through the user's own iCloud. Task text is never sent to Unstick or to a third-party AI service.
- Status: App Store release coming soon; no public App Store link yet.
- Maker: LearnSpeed, LLC.
