DayGuide ADHD reminder app logo

The ADHD reminder app that doesn't give up after one ping.

ADHD brains swipe the notification away and forget. DayGuide nudges again, gently then firmly, until it's done.

Built for ADHD, time blindness, and executive dysfunction. No guilt, no nagging alarms.

7-day free trial, then £29.99/year. Cancel anytime.

💜 You're Not Broken

DayGuide understands that ADHD brains work differently - and that's not a flaw

Time Blindness is Real

You're not lazy or careless. Your brain just processes time and attention differently. DayGuide is your external brain - we hold the "when" so you can focus on the "what" and "why".

You're in Control

Don't like how often we nudge? Change it. Need more time? Stretch the window. Want to pause everything? One tap. This adapts to you - not the other way around.

Start Small

Pick one important moment to track. Just one. Maybe it's medication, eating lunch, or just checking in with yourself. You can add more later. For now, start small.

Only What Matters Now

The home screen shows what's relevant right now and hides the rest. No long lists, no overwhelming choices.

Compassionate Language

No shame, no guilt. "Save for Later" instead of "Snooze". "Slipped" instead of "Failed". "Important Moment" instead of just "Reminder".

Visual Clarity

Color-coded states, clear time windows, and large touch targets reduce cognitive load. Haptic feedback gives your brain the dopamine hit it needs when you complete tasks.

Built for the moment you'd normally forget

Three things ordinary reminder apps get wrong for ADHD, fixed

Reminders that follow up

One ping is easy to miss. DayGuide comes back until it's handled:

  • Gentle: 3 nudges, for things that can flex
  • Normal: 5 nudges, spaced further apart each time
  • Strict: 6 nudges, for medication and can't-miss tasks
  • Mark it done straight from the notification
📅

Time windows, not deadlines

"Between 8 and 9" works with your brain. "8:00 sharp" doesn't:

  • Set a window instead of an exact minute
  • Recurring schedules on the days you choose
  • Running late? Push your whole day back in one tap
  • Focus timer that keeps you company while you work
💜

Progress without shame

Missing something is information, not failure:

  • "Slipped", never "failed"
  • Gentle history that shows patterns, not blame
  • Completion stats and streaks when you want them
  • Optional voice that reads a reminder aloud when you open it

What Is an ADHD Reminder App?

And why DayGuide is built differently

An ADHD reminder app is a productivity tool designed for brains that experience time blindness, executive dysfunction, and inconsistent attention. Unlike a standard calendar or to-do list, an ADHD-friendly reminder app accounts for the fact that a single notification is often not enough — and that shame-based language makes things worse.

DayGuide is an Android app that pairs intelligent escalating notifications with optional voice reminders, flexible time windows instead of rigid deadlines, and compassionate language like “Save for Later” instead of “Snooze.” It works as an external brain for medication reminders, daily routines, and any task where you tend to lose track of time.

DayGuide is built for people with ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, and anyone whose brain doesn’t respond well to nagging alarms. You’re not broken — you just need tools that work the way you do.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about DayGuide

How much does DayGuide cost?

DayGuide is a paid app with no ads. The yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial, so you can use everything before paying. In the UK it is £4.99 a month, £29.99 a year, or £59.99 once for lifetime access. Prices vary by country, and you can cancel anytime in Google Play.

Is DayGuide available on iPhone?

Not yet. DayGuide is currently available only on Android. You can get it on Google Play. An iOS version may come in the future.

How is DayGuide different from a regular reminder app?

Standard reminder apps send a single notification at an exact time. DayGuide uses flexible time windows, escalating notifications, optional voice prompts, and ADHD-friendly language. It assumes you might miss the first reminder — and nudges again without shame.

Can DayGuide help with medication reminders?

Yes. Medication is a perfect use case for DayGuide’s Strict escalation mode, which sends up to six reminders in a row so a dose is much harder to miss.

Does DayGuide work offline?

Yes. DayGuide runs locally on your Android device. Reminders fire even without an internet connection.

What permissions does DayGuide need?

DayGuide requests notification permissions (to alert you) and exact-alarm permissions (so reminders fire on time). It does not use your microphone. See our privacy policy for details.

Is DayGuide good for people without ADHD?

Absolutely. While DayGuide is built around the needs of ADHD brains, anyone who struggles with time blindness, executive dysfunction, or simply wants gentler reminders will benefit.

How do I install DayGuide?

Open DayGuide on Google Play and tap Install. It downloads and updates automatically like any other Play Store app.
