About Persistence — the calm ADHD todo & journal app

Most productivity apps are built for people who enjoy productivity apps. They reward setup, punish lapses, and measure success in streaks and overdue counts. For an ADHD brain that's a recipe for the same loop every time: enthusiasm, a perfect system, a bad week, a wall of red, abandonment.

Persistence started as an attempt to break that loop for ourselves. Capture had to be instant. Missing a day had to be a non-event. The day had to be visible as time, not just as a list. And the whole thing had to be quiet enough that opening it never felt like a confrontation.

The name is the point. Not intensity, not perfection — persistence. Keeping going, gently, for a long time.

• A todo list with one-keystroke capture, priorities and repeating tasks.
• A micro-journal — one line and a mood tag, building into patterns over time.
• A habit tracker whose streaks forgive a missed day.
• A time-blocking daily planner on a 15-minute grid.
• Statistics that reward showing up rather than perfection.
• Apps for everywhere: web, macOS, Windows, Linux and Android, all in sync. Download.
• No tracking — no analytics or telemetry anywhere. Privacy.

Persistence is funded by Premium subscriptions and nothing else. That keeps the incentives honest: the app only wins if it is genuinely, quietly useful to you. Builds and release notes are public on GitHub, and the roadmap is driven by what people who use it ask for.
