Progress - Task Assistant

About Progress - Task Assistant

Progress is a task and journal app for adults with ADHD and autistic adults. It is deliberately small, quiet and predictable.
Everything stays on your phone. No account, no sign-up, no server, no ads, no tracking, no AI.

ONE TASK, NOT A LIST
The Now screen shows one task, one first step and one Start button. Not everything you are not doing. Tasks you finish today sit quietly at the bottom and clear at midnight.
When you cannot start, there is a button that says exactly that. It offers four things: swap for a two-minute task, put this off until later, start for five minutes anyway, or move for two minutes. No lecture, no guilt.
CAPTURE IN SECONDS
Write the thought down before it goes. Text, an optional date, an optional time. Anything you have not sorted yet waits in its own section of the Task tab, so nothing is lost.

A JOURNAL YOU OWN
A page per day. Type it or dictate it. Add an energy rating if you want one. Search everything you have ever written.
The app never interprets any of it. No trends, no averages, no comparisons, no alerts. It is a record, not an analysis.

A PDF FOR YOUR DOCTOR
Turn any range of your journal into a clean, readable PDF and email it to your doctor, therapist or support worker. Pick 7, 30 or 90 days, a custom range, or all of it. Choose whether to include completed tasks, energy ratings and dictated entries.
Empty days are shown as empty days, because the gaps are information too.
The journal and its PDF export are free forever. They will never sit behind a purchase.

MOVEMENT AND REGULATION
Short movement activities for when you need to feel more alert, more settled, or unstuck. Every one has a seated variant or is marked as unavailable seated. Stepped one cue at a time, self-paced, stop at any point. Build them into your own routines.
Some people find these help. That is the whole claim. Nothing to complete, nothing to keep up.

FOCUS SESSIONS
A plain timer showing the time left and one task in front of you. Add five minutes if you need it. Stop whenever.
REMINDERS THAT DO NOT NAG
Exactly one reminder per task. It fires once. It never escalates, never repeats and never re-nags. You set a daily cap on notifications and the app respects it.

BUILT FOR SENSORY DIFFERENCE
Set the interface to calm or vivid, spacious or compact. Turn motion off, reduce it, or leave it on. Choose whether the app speaks to you literally or warmly — every sentence is written twice and you pick.
Every icon carries a text label. The navigation never changes and never tests a new layout on you. Nothing is red, and there are no count badges on the app icon.

WHAT THIS APP DOES NOT DO
No points, no levels, no confetti, no leaderboards. Nothing to keep up and nothing to break. No analysis of your mood, no shame framing, nothing that tells you that you are behind.

BACKUP AND RESTORE
Optional and off until you turn it on. Your backup is encrypted on your phone before it leaves, and goes to a private folder in your own Google Drive that only this app can see — not to us. It is a backup for moving to a new phone, not live sync.
You can delete everything the app holds, at any time, from Settings.

PRICING
Free for 14 days, then one payment. No subscription.
Your journal, your PDF exports and any reminder you have already set keep working forever, whether or not you buy. Buying unlocks new templates and new routines. Locking anyone out of their own record would be indefensible.

WHAT THIS IS NOT
Progress is not a medical device, a diagnostic tool or a therapy. It does not assess, treat or claim to change anything about you. It is an organisation and note-taking app for ADHD and autistic adults: write down what you need to do, take a first step, keep a record that belongs to you.
