If you take ADHD medication, you probably know the feeling. Some days the dose lands and the afternoon opens up. Other days it seems to do nothing at all, and you are left wondering whether it was the timing, the sleep, the coffee, or just you. The prescription is precise to the milligram; the experience of taking it is guesswork.
ADHDose is a small app for that gap. It models roughly when your medication is likely to be active, so you can plan your day around the hours that tend to work, and it keeps everything it learns on your phone. That is the whole product. This page is about the person behind it.
I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, which is a strange experience: relief, mostly, followed by a long list of things that suddenly made sense.
I started Elvanse around the time I lost my job, which meant I was learning how medication shaped my days at the exact moment I had to rebuild them. I wanted to know simple things. When does it actually kick in? When does it fade? Why did Tuesday work and Wednesday fall apart? Nobody could tell me, so I started tracking it myself, and eventually, in a stretch of hyperfocus I will not pretend was entirely healthy, I built the tool I had been looking for.
It helped. Not in a dramatic, life-transformed way, but in a quieter one: I stopped booking important things into hours my medication had already left, and I stopped blaming myself for afternoons that were never going to work.
I kept using it. Then I realised the questions I had were not unusual ones, and that other people were answering them with spreadsheets and guesswork too. So now I am building it properly, for them.
ADHDose launches this July on Android, with iOS to follow soon after, and it will grow the way it started: slowly, from real days, one considered feature at a time. If any of this sounds like your mornings, I would genuinely like to hear from you. I am [email protected], and I read everything.
In the meantime, you can read how it works.
