Built for ADHD brains
Your to-do list isn't the problem. Deciding and doing is.
TUNL is for brains with forty tabs open and four unfinished tasks. It forces a real decision on every item, then drops you into one focused tunnel at a time. No infinite list rotting in the background.
Zero spam. Only priority access updates.
You don't need another list. You've tried them all.
Standard to-do apps assume the hard part is remembering. For ADHD brains, the hard part is everything after: deciding what actually matters, starting, and not getting pulled away thirty seconds in.
So the list grows. Everything looks equally urgent. Tasks you'll never do sit there for months, quietly making you feel behind. You snooze the same thing for the fourth time. By Friday the list is a monument to avoidance, not a plan.
TUNL is designed around the part that's actually hard.
Decide. Then execute. That's the whole engine.
Decide
The Reckoning
Nothing rots silently in TUNL. Every item has to get a verdict: do it, rank it, schedule it, or let it go. The Reckoning walks you through anything you've been avoiding and makes you choose. Decisions get made on purpose, not by default.
Execute
The Tunnel
When it's time to work, the Tunnel runs one task at a time, full screen, and tracks the two things that break focus: how often you back out, and how often you get interrupted. Focus stops being a vague intention and becomes a score you can beat.
Rank
You can't have fifty priorities
TUNL gives you ranked slots, not an endless flat list. If everything is a priority, nothing is. So you rank what matters and the rest waits its turn. Scarcity does the deciding your brain doesn't want to.
Why it fits ADHD brains
| What your brain does | What TUNL does about it |
|---|---|
| Task paralysis, can't pick where to start | The Reckoning forces one decision at a time, so you're never staring at the whole pile |
| Snoozing the same task forever | A hard snooze cap. You literally can't defer it indefinitely |
| Everything feels equally urgent | Ranked slots force you to choose what actually matters |
| Starting is fine, staying is the issue | The Tunnel runs one task and scores your focus, like a built-in body double |
| Guilt over the stuff you'll never do | Mark it won't do and it's off your plate, on purpose, guilt gone |
TUNL is not a to-do list. It's a decide-and-execute engine.
A to-do list is a place tasks go to wait. TUNL is a place they get resolved. If you've bounced off every to-do app you've tried, it's because they're all the same shape: capture, then hope. TUNL is built for the two moments those apps ignore, the deciding and the doing.
Questions
Is TUNL made specifically for ADHD?
TUNL is built for anyone who struggles to decide and focus, which makes it a strong fit for ADHD brains. It is a productivity tool, not a medical or treatment device.
How is this different from a normal to-do app?
Most apps are capture tools. TUNL adds the two things they leave to willpower: a forced decision on every task (the Reckoning) and a scored, single-task focus mode (the Tunnel).
Will it work on my phone?
TUNL is available on the web now, with iPhone and Android apps on the way.
What does it cost?
TUNL is in private beta. Request access to try it free.
