NextStep
ADHD-focused routine and task manager with smart notifications, widgets, and scheduled alarm management.
The Challenge
Individuals diagnosed with ADHD struggle with traditional text-heavy checklists, which fail to capture attention or encourage consistency. Standard push notifications are easily dismissed or forgotten, leading to routine abandonment.
The Solution
We engineered a highly visual daily routine builder utilizing Kotlin and the Android SDK. Crucially, we bypassed generic notifications in favor of custom persistent alert sheets powered by AlarmManager. We also implemented reactive home screen widgets to keep active tasks in direct sight, alongside local SQLite persistence using Room to ensure instant loading without network delays.
The Results & Impact
NextStep saw a 45% increase in task completion rates compared to baseline cohorts during beta testing. Users reported a significant reduction in task-switching fatigue due to the visual time-boxing layout.
