Tell Cronote
what you can't start.

Free to start. Push, text, and email reminders since 2010.
The things that slip.
ADHD isn't forgetting what to do. It's not being able to make yourself do it — or stop doing the wrong thing. These are the moments where a plain reminder was never going to help.
How it actually helps.
- A cue your brain can't skip: Every reminder arrives with a generated image — a different one each time. Your brain learns to skip identical notifications in days. A visual that changes keeps registering.
- One tap, not willpower: Done, Not yet, Skip today. One tap turns a notification into a commitment and leaves a record you can check later.
- Fresh content each time: Inspire generates a new message every firing — a different first step, a different reason to start, a different way to frame it. Never the same words twice.
- A chain, not a single alarm: Multi-step Syncros walk you through a sequence: a visual interrupt, a one-tap response, then encouragement that reacts to what you picked. The chain carries you past the starting line.
- Photo proof you did it: Snap asks for a photo. Cleaning the kitchen? Show the one counter you cleared. Taking your meds? Snap the empty cup. The photo is proof the hardest part is done.
Real Syncros for real struggles.
Type what you're struggling with into the search above. Cronote builds you a multi-step flow tuned to that specific problem. Here's what it looks like.
Did I actually take it?
Out of sight, out of mind. You swipe the alert away, and ten minutes later you genuinely can't remember if you took your pills. The reminder fires with a generated visual so it stands out, you tap Done, Later, or Skip, then it asks you to snap the empty pill cup — just for you. An invisible habit becomes something you can see.

Just start the first thing
The task isn't hard. Starting is. Tell Cronote the thing you can't begin. It fires one absurdly small first step — "just clear the sink, two minutes." Tap Started or Not yet, and Inspire generates encouragement that reacts to what you picked. The chain breaks the paralysis into one tiny move you can't say no to.

Have you eaten today?
Hours pass and you forget to eat. A generated image arrives with one question: have you eaten? Tap Yes or Not yet, and Inspire follows with one quick meal idea, generated fresh so it never repeats. The basics don't slip when something interrupts you to ask.
Pull me back when I drift
You start, then drift. A gentle check-in fires mid-focus-block: Still on the thing? Yes or I drifted — pull me back. Inspire reacts to what you tapped — a nudge back on track or a quick win to build momentum. Each check-in carries a generated image that refreshes over time, so it keeps registering.
Leave now, not at 3:00
Three o'clock never means leave at 2:40. The reminder fires before your appointment with a generated image. Location checks where you are relative to the destination. Decision knows the real distance and asks how you're getting there — only showing options that are actually feasible from where you are.

It never goes invisible
Same words, same time, and your brain stops seeing it. Every Cronote firing carries fresh wording, a different angle and a different nudge, over a generated image that refreshes over time, so it never fades into wallpaper the way a plain notification does. Inspire writes something new every firing. Your brain can't tune out something it hasn't seen before.

Common questions
Why don't regular reminders work for ADHD?
Your brain learns to skip identical notifications within days. Same words, same time, same look — it files them under 'already handled.' And a notification you can swipe without responding is just a suggestion your brain ignores. Cronote sends fresh content, refreshes the visual over time, and asks for a tap, so the reminder keeps registering.
What is a Syncro?
A multi-step flow you tap through at your own pace. A typical ADHD Syncro might be: a visual cue with a generated image, a one-tap check-in (Done, Not yet, Skip), then generated encouragement that reacts to what you picked. The chain carries you past the hard part — starting.
Can I set up ADHD medication reminders?
Yes. A medication Syncro can include Done, Later, and Skip buttons so your tap leaves a record of whether you took the dose, plus a Snap step where you photograph the empty pill cup as proof. Cronote is a reminder app, not a medical tool, and does not provide medical advice.
What is Discovery?
Type what you're struggling with — forgetting meds, can't start a task, skipping meals — and Cronote builds you a multi-step Syncro tuned to that specific problem. Try it in the search box at the top of this page.
