Why Normal Timers Fail with ADHD
ADHD is fundamentally a disorder of dopamine regulation and executive functioning. Here is how GrowFocus bridges the neurological gap.
Breaks Task Initiation Paralysis
When a task feels overwhelming, the ADHD brain shuts down. GrowFocus supports micro-timers down to 10 minutes so you can start without fear or dread.
Tangible Anti-Wilt Stakes
Abstract willpower always loses against TikTok. If you leave GrowFocus for ≥ 10 seconds during an active timer, your botanical plant wilts. Real loss aversion keeps you on track.
Continuous Visual Dopamine
Instead of boring black numbers, every minute produces visible solar tokens and rainwater drops that transform your 3D botanical world before your eyes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does GrowFocus work better than Forest or standard timers for ADHD?
The attention games offer structured practice and short breaks. GrowFocus is a productivity tool, not a diagnosis or treatment for ADHD or another medical condition.
What if I have severe task initiation paralysis?
Start with a 10-minute adaptive session. Setting a 10-minute timer requires almost zero activation energy from your executive network. Once you begin and see your plant sprout, momentum carries you forward effortlessly.
