How the ADHD Daily Planner works, step by step

Four moments from real use — the screen changes as you read.

First thing

One thing in Now.

Now holds three tasks at a time and politely refuses a fourth. The Today screen puts the one that is Now on top, with a button to start a focus sprint.

Whenever it's loud

Get it out of your head.

Press B anywhere, type a thought, press Enter — the box stays open until your head is quiet. Later, give each line one tap: Now, Next, Later, Someday, Done, or the bin.

Through the day

Tasks in four columns.

Now, Next, Later and Someday, with S, M and L sizes. Someday is labelled "no guilt parking", and there is an Undo if you mis-tap.

Morning and night

Routines that count what you kept.

Three to start with — Morning launch, Midday reset and Evening wind-down. The week counts the days you kept out of the days that have happened, and a missed day becomes a rest day, marked with a leaf.

Three editions. The same method.

One download holds all three, sharing one method and one set of words — Brain Dump, Now / Next / Later / Someday, days kept, a rest day, a focus sprint, a win. Use whichever one is in front of you.

The app

One HTML file that opens in your normal web browser. Empty your head into Brain Dump with one key, pick the three things that go in Now, and start one of them as a focus sprint — the screen clears to that one task and a countdown. Nothing you type into it is uploaded.

Five sections — Today, Brain Dump, Tasks, Routines and Wins — plus a Help screen
Focus sprints from 1 to 180 minutes, with 10, 15 and 25 shortcuts; finishing logs a win
Light and dark mode, a print button, one-click backup and restore

Play with it on this page

The countdown, the one-key capture and the routine that resets for a new day live here.

The workbook

An ordinary .xlsx with eight tabs: Start here, Week, Tasks, Routines, Routine days, Wins, Focus sprints and Setup. It arrives empty — type three dates on the Setup tab and the rest fills itself in. It counts whole weeks, Monday to Sunday, and keeps a wins log by month.

910 live formulas, classic ones only, no macros, nothing locked
Room for 200 tasks, 12 weeks of routine days, 400 wins and 300 focus sprints
Recalculated in LibreOffice Calc before it ships; imports into Google Sheets with File → Import, without its print layout. We have not opened it in Excel ourselves

For the whole week at once, and a record that outlives a cleared browser.

The printable pack

36 pages: the same 18 pages sized for A4 and for US Letter, so you print only the half that matches your paper. The day, the dump, the four columns, the routines, the sprints and the wins on paper, plus a weekly look back and a notes page.

18 A4 pages and the same 18 for US Letter
The footer on every page says which half you are in
Nothing in it prints a date, so it never goes out of date

For a page that works when the laptop is shut.

Two more files come with them. The Calm Start Method is a free 52-page book — twelve short chapters in four parts, on getting started, holding your attention for a while, and carrying on after the day you missed. It is a book of methods to try, not medical advice. A four-page Quick Start gets all three editions moving, down to your data and how to back it up. Five files in total, one download, one payment.

What focused time adds up to

The daily planner runs sessions on a focus timer and keeps the record of what got done. Set the session length and see the week build.

Minutes per session25

Three 25-minute sessions a day is about 6 focused hours a week.

The focus timer runs the sessions; the wins screen keeps the evidence that they happened.

Brain Dump — running on the sample data.

No account. No cloud. No catch.

The app is one HTML file that runs in your browser. That single fact is what makes all four of these true.

accounts

Nothing to sign up for. No email, no password.

servers

There is nowhere for your information to be sent.

renewals

Bought once on Etsy. Nothing recurring, ever.

connection needed

Needs no internet once the app has opened once.

That last one is the proof of the others. An app that keeps working with the internet switched off is an app that isn't sending anything anywhere.

ADHD Daily Planner FAQ

Does the ADHD Daily Planner need a subscription?

No. You buy it once on Etsy and it's yours. Nothing renews and there's no account to keep.

What sections does the ADHD Daily Planner have?

5 main sections in the app: Today, Brain Dump, Tasks, Routines and Wins, plus a Help screen with the full guide. The first time you open it you can choose Explore with sample data to look round a whole sample day, then Start fresh with my own when you are ready.

Where is my data stored?

Whatever you type into the app stays in that browser, on that device, and is never uploaded — we have no server that could receive it. Clearing your browser data can erase it, so keep a backup: Settings → Export backup saves everything to one small file, and Settings → Import brings it back.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Once the app has opened once it needs no internet at all — the fonts are inside the file, and it makes no request to anyone. A copy of the workbook you import into Google Sheets needs a connection.

What exactly do I get?

Five files: the ADHD Planner App (one HTML file), the workbook (.xlsx, eight tabs), the printable pack (36 pages, A4 and US Letter), the free 52-page book The Calm Start Method, and a four-page Quick Start that covers all three editions.

Will it work on my phone?

Yes — it is built for a laptop or desktop first, and on a phone the sections move into a bar along the bottom, with the rest under More. There is nothing to install and no account to create.

Can I use it on more than one device?

Yes, but each browser keeps its own copy and nothing syncs between them. Use Export backup and Import in Settings to carry your data across.

Do the three editions sync?

No. Each keeps what you put in it. The app's backup file carries the app's data between devices; the workbook and the pack are ordinary files you keep wherever you like.

Do I need Excel?

No. We recalculate the workbook in LibreOffice Calc before it ships, and it came into Google Sheets with File → Import with its tabs, formulas and drop-down lists intact — but not its print layout, so print from the .xlsx. We have not opened it in Excel ourselves; every function it uses is one Excel shares.

How do I get the files after I buy?

It's an instant digital download from Etsy. As soon as Etsy confirms your payment all five files are in your Etsy Purchases, and you can download them again from there any time you're signed in.
