Your brain won't stop reminding you until it trusts the system
There's a reason those thoughts keep interrupting you.
Without a trusted system
"Call the dentist"
"Pay rent tomorrow"
"Email Sarah back"
"Buy groceries"
↻
Your brain acts like an overzealous assistant. It keeps looping unfinished tasks in your head, afraid you'll forget. The more important the task, the louder it gets.
This is called the Zeigarnik effect—your mind obsesses over incomplete tasks until they're either done or safely stored somewhere it trusts.

Brain lets go
When you capture a thought in a system you trust, your brain releases it. It stops the reminder loop because it knows the task is safe.
Dropply handles the organizing and scheduling automatically—so your brain doesn't just dump, it truly lets go. No more mental overhead.
The key isn't willpower or discipline. It's having a trusted external system that your brain believes will handle things. Dropply becomes that system—capture once, never think about it again.
You're not broken. Your tools are.
These daily frustrations aren't character flaws—they're predictable challenges when you have an ADHD brain in a neurotypical world.
Invasive thoughts hijack your focus
You're finally in the zone. Then: "Did I pay the electric bill?" "Book dentist." "Mom's birthday!" The harder you resist, the louder they get. Your focus is shattered, and it takes 20 minutes to get back—if you even can.
Too many thoughts, nowhere to put them
Your brain generates ideas faster than you can capture them. By the time you open your app, tag it, categorize it... the thought is gone. You've tried calendars, to-do apps, journals. They all demand: organize now, act later. Your ADHD brain needs the opposite.
Every tool demands too much maintenance
Tags. Categories. Priorities. Reminders. Subtasks. The setup is exhausting—and you know you won't keep it up. Three days in, your system falls apart. Back to square one.
The guilt cycle never ends
You know what you should do. But the gap between knowing and doing feels insurmountable. You beat yourself up, promise to do better tomorrow. Tomorrow comes. Repeat. The tasks pile up.
You're spending more energy managing your system than being productive. What if you could just dump it, and get back to your focus?

Have you ever sat down to finish a critical work project, only to realize two hours later that you’ve deep-dived into the history of Roman architecture or reorganized your spice rack?
Why Traditional Note-Taking Apps Fail ADHD Users (And What Actually Works)
Your phone is a graveyard of half-organized Notion pages and 'quick' Apple Notes you can’t find. If you have ADHD, the cycle is exhausting: you find a new app, obsess over the setup for three days, and then never open it again. You don’t have a 'memory' problem; you have a 'tool' problem. Let's talk about why your brain rejects traditional systems—and what actually works
Questions? We've got answers
Do I need to organize my thoughts manually?
Nope! That's the whole point. Just dump everything, and our AI automatically organizes, categorizes, and prioritizes for you. Zero manual work required.
Does it really work for ADHD?
Yes! Dropply was built specifically for ADHD brains. We've worked with ADHD experts and real users to create something that actually works for how you think—not how productivity apps think you should work.
What if I'm not good with technology?
Dropply is designed to be incredibly simple. If you can send a text message, you can use Dropply. No complicated setup or learning curve.
Is my data private and secure?
Absolutely. Your thoughts are encrypted, never sold, and you can export or delete everything anytime. Your data is yours, period.
When will Dropply launch?
We're in final development and will launch soon. By reserving your lifetime access now, you'll lock in the founding member price and get early access when we go live. We'll notify you as soon as it's ready!
What devices does it work on?
Dropply will be available on web, iOS, Android, and Chrome extension at launch. All your devices will stay synced automatically across platforms.
What happens if I'm not satisfied?
We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee that starts after the app launches. If Dropply doesn't work for you within 30 days of launch, just let us know and we'll refund you—no questions asked.
Why lifetime access instead of subscription?
We know ADHD brains hate recurring payments and decision fatigue. Pay once, own it forever. No surprise charges, no annual renewals, no stress.
Does Dropply integrate with my calendar?
Yes! Dropply automatically syncs time-based tasks to Google Calendar and Notion Calendar. When you capture a thought like "dentist appointment tomorrow at 9 AM", Dropply recognizes it's time-sensitive and adds it to your calendar—no manual entry required.
