A nervous-system-aware execution loop
Most productivity apps assume motivation comes first, lists create action, and pressure increases output. But for neurodivergent people, the real challenge is executive dysfunction: task initiation, activation energy, and emotional overwhelm.
Buddy is built for that.
Regulation before productivity. No other app is designed end-to-end for this.

Features that understand executive dysfunction
Designed for task initiation, activation energy, and the full execution loop
Voice → action (without cognitive overload)
When your brain is full, typing is too much. Just talk. Buddy listens and extracts tasks from speech, detects vague or overwhelming items, helps you talk through blockers, and breaks tasks into doable steps. This is task initiation support, not task tracking.
- Voice-first (because typing requires activation energy)
- AI sorts the chaos for you
- Automatic prioritization based on readiness
- Nothing falls through the cracks
Other apps make you type it, sort it, and prioritize it yourself. Buddy dramatically lowers activation energy—the hardest part of executive dysfunction.
Cognitive warm-ups for task initiation
Buddy's brain games aren't for entertainment. They're cognitive activation ramps designed to warm up attention, support working memory, reduce impulsivity, and help you shift from fog → readiness. A few minutes is often enough to make starting possible.

- Cognitive warm-up reduces task initiation paralysis
- Turn "I can't start" into "okay, I'm ready"
Regulation before productivity
If your nervous system is dysregulated, productivity tools make things worse. Soft Day Mode removes pressure, pauses execution demands, and keeps your tasks safe. Rest isn't avoidance—it's regulation.
"Today's hard. Let\'s just exist, okay?"
