You dismiss a notification because you are busy. Later, you remember there was something—just not what it was.
Tugwize is for those ordinary moments where intention is real, but the next step slips away.
An ADHD task and reminder app in development

The problem
A reminder is only useful if it helps you do the thing.
A small task quietly becomes tomorrow’s problem.
You know what you meant to do, but starting feels harder than it should.
Product direction
More than one kind of support.
Tugwize is being shaped around a combination: conversational planning, reminders you can tune, support with clear boundaries, and progress without shame. These are planned directions as Tugwize develops.
Planned conversational planning
Start with what is on your mind.
Tell Tugwize is being explored as a more natural place to begin: describe what you need to remember, unpack the next step, or sort out what matters first—without needing to organize every detail before you start.
A starting point for your next step.
Conversational planning is in development. Sign-in, online-service, pricing, and plan details will be shared as they are finalized.
Planned tunable reminders
Choose how Tugwize comes back.
Some tasks only need one gentle nudge. Others need a little more structure. Tugwize is being designed so support can be adjusted instead of assuming every reminder should work the same way.
Gentle alerts and limited follow-up nudges are planned. Availability will depend on device permissions, and reminders can still be dismissed.
Planned “I’m stuck” support
When a reminder isn’t enough.
Sometimes the barrier is getting started, not remembering. Tugwize is being built with a planned “I’m stuck” path for those moments: a chance to pause, choose a smaller next step, or reschedule without losing the task or being shamed for it.
Drawing on practical DBT-informed skills, this direction is meant to make room for choice when a task feels hard to begin. The planned path would not require someone to explain why they are stuck; the final experience is still in development.
Planned trusted-person support
Invite help only with boundaries.
Shared support is planned for people who want it: invite a trusted person, choose what they can do, and change access when it no longer fits. The goal is encouragement with clear boundaries, not approval or monitoring.
Planned shame-free progress
Progress can be a record, not a report card.
Tugwize is being shaped around a day-by-day view that helps people notice what happened without asking them to keep a streak alive or earn a score. The preview shows this direction; the final experience is still in development.

Our story
Built from a real need.
Tugwize began with a mother looking for better support for her daughter’s ADHD and the everyday tasks that ordinary reminder apps were not helping her finish. The goal is not more pressure. It is a more useful way to come back to what matters.
