About DodoDeck
DodoDeck is a small Windows app that keeps your tasks and notes visible on the desktop, so you don't have to open another app. You get three task cards with checklists. Click any line and start typing, and it saves as you go. Flip a card over to reach its Rough Page, a blank page for free-form notes, screenshots, links or video.
You can dock the deck above the Windows taskbar and bring it back with one click. Card, Focus and Media Docks are included, and the Focus Dock holds the focus timer. You can share cards as images, or export and import them as .dododeck files.
Cards, notes, attachments and the archive are stored on your device and are not synced to the cloud. There's no account, and the app works offline apart from purchase and license activation. You get 14 days free with every feature. After that, a one-time $5 purchase covers up to two of your own devices. Without a license, your cards become read-only and nothing is deleted. It runs on 64-bit Windows 10 and 11, and a macOS version is waiting on App Store review.
About ProjectAdulting
ProjectAdulting is an iPhone and iPad app for life admin. You dump everything on your mind into one place, like bills, errands, chores, deadlines, calls and paperwork. Rough notes and half-sentences are fine. An AI coach called Nudge organizes the pile and picks one next action, so you aren't stuck staring at a long list.
It's built for people who feel overwhelmed or frozen by tasks, and the App Store listing positions it for ADHD. Nudge can talk through a problem, build a plan, or split a stressful task into smaller steps. An "adulting inbox" keeps tasks, notes, routines, reminders and follow-ups together. Guided checklists, reminders and repeating tasks help you act on the plan.
The app also has lessons on practical topics like money, career, home, health, routines and relationships, plus daily progress tracking. You can download it for free, and you can try the brain dump and finish a first task before paying. Pro features need a monthly or annual subscription, and there's no free trial.
