My guess as well. There have been many who have claimed to be a god but science or just natural events prove them wrong. Lol.

The "Life Disruptor": An ADHD Approach to Productivity
At 3am finishing a course I had no business starting that late. Woke up at 11am already in the spiral. Here's what interrupted it and what I built because of it.

Woke up at 11am. Before I opened my eyes, it had already started. Bad dad. Can't even get up. You're a mess. That voice doesn't wait for you to be conscious. One popup on screen stopped the spiral. Then I built the feature that came out of it.

You called it "too many tabs." Here is what you were actually looking at." The ADHD brain has no filter. Everything screams at the same volume. Most apps try to "fix" you. I built a prosthetic for the part of the brain that's missing. It is called NeuroRythm.

Built an ADHD Productivity App Because Nothing Else Worked
I nearly missed my son's therapy appointment this morning. Not because I don't care. Because I have ADHD. Here's what caught it, and why I built it.

I Built an ADHD Productivity App Because Nothing Else Worked
208,000 lines of code, a converted bus, and a nonverbal autistic son. Here's why I built NeuroRythm and the ADHD tools that actually give a damn.

JD @jd-armstrong.bsky.social · 01/05/2026
Day saved. Spiral into "I'm a bad dad" avoided. Not because I suddenly became someone who remembers things. Because I built a system that remembers for me. 208,000 lines of code. Living in a converted bus. Built it because nothing else worked for my brain.

JD @jd-armstrong.bsky.social · 01/05/2026
What caught it was a task reminder. Thirty minutes out. Chaos Gremlin yelling through my speakers. I looked at the time, saw 07:45, and my brain went... wait. Why am I leaving at 08:15? Then it clicked. Thursday. Keegan's got therapy before school.

Nine months ago I had 663 apps on my phone. Not metaphorically. I kept a count. All sucked. So I built one myself. 203,000 lines of code, no formal coding background, living in a converted bus, single dad... and a brain that works completely differently to the one all those apps were designed for.

ADHD Hyperfocus Coding: 7 Months Building 170k-Line Python App

JD @jd-armstrong.bsky.social · 26/03/2026
We aren't broken. The systems we are forced to use are. I’m building something that mirrors how our brains actually fire—focusing on flow, not just "to-do" lists. If the world wasn't built for us, we build our own world.

In August, it was a skeleton. By January, it’s a dense, interconnected nervous system. Seeing the links between how the logic reacts confirmed that the "map" in my head was finally being built into reality. #BuildInPublic #ADHD

175,000 lines of Python. 7 months of ADHD hyperfocus. I wanted to see what that actually looks like, so I ran a visualization tool on the #NeuroRythm codebase from August to now. Here is how a system for neurodivergent minds actually grows. 🧵 👇

663 Apps Couldn't Fix My ADHD Brain. So I Built NeuroRythm.
663 apps. Seven months. 150,000 lines of code. No formal programming background. This is the story of why every productivity app failed my ADHD brain — and what I built instead.

I built AI that reviewed my own story. It gave it 2.75 out of 5. Stung for about three seconds. Then I thought, fucking perfect. That's honest feedback. That's what writers actually need. Full story → blog.writerswithoutwalls.com/i-built-ai-t...

As expected, Brian Penny didn't want to be called out on this platform, where he's trying to keep up the illusion, so he blocked me. Apparently he's selective about who he keeps trying to abuse, and surprise surprise, it's women he goes after. Put this prick on blast, folks. He's gross.

663 Apps Couldn't Fix My ADHD Brain. So I Built NeuroRythm.
Why I Stopped Trying to Fix My Brain (And Built a Second One Instead) 663 apps on my phone. Not a flex.

"There is no doubt in my mind whatsoever that you're ADHD." I'd braced for an argument. 663 apps. A script I built myself that still didn't work. Years of what is wrong with you. Nothing was wrong with me. The tools were just never built for us. So I built one that was. Link in the comments.

After years of abandoning every productivity app within a week, I finally understood: we aren't broken, the tools are. So I built NeuroRythm - a productivity system that works WITH ADHD brains instead of trying to fix us. The software is 70% done (not vaporware, actual working code).

Because we're all different. Our ADHD lived experiences are different. What doesn't work for me could work for you. Won't know until you try.

Lol. I get it.. this is more than a productivity app. Beta testers get this free, plus upgrades and support, for life. ☺️. Also, it will never be as expensive as all these others. I know what it's like.. I've spent thousands over the years. Try the one you got the freebie for. 🤞 its what you need

JD @jd-armstrong.bsky.social · 30/07/2025
Thanks. It's a program downloaded to your pc/laptop. Requires minimal resources to run. Doesn't require internet access. All your data stays on your machine. It will also have a mobile widget (not app, as i have app fatigue like many of us do) that will send essential reminders that you can edit

Interested in testing productivity software built by someone who actually gets what it's like when your brain decides to hyperfocus on that new exciting thing that popped into your brain at 3am, instead of your to-do list? Sick of the guilt that comes with it?

JD @jd-armstrong.bsky.social · 30/07/2025
But it's grown into something much bigger. Now I need people to beta test it. What you get: The program free for life, continued support, first dibs on new features, and the satisfaction of helping build something that actually works for ADHD brains.

JD @jd-armstrong.bsky.social · 30/07/2025
Started as a basic tool just for my own machine... something to help me manage the chaos without the guilt trips that every other productivity app seems to specialize in. (tried them all, Todoist, notion templates, motion, evernote. Etc)

Classic ADHD brain doing its thing. I was constantly switching between projects, courses and feeling like I was failing at everything. Always discombobulated, always frustrated. ADHD was ruling the roost and I needed to do something about it. That's when NeuroRythm happened.

Looking for more victims... I mean, volunteers 😅 Diagnosed, self-diagnosed or just suspected ADHD. No judgement here. So I had 6 (at least) projects running simultaneously. My story writing concepts here, another learning thing there, work stuff everywhere.
