Your brain isn’t broken
It runs in cycles. Charged. Neutral. Drained. Repeat.
NeuroSpicy maps your energy and mood patterns so the cycle stops blindsiding you.
The promises most apps quietly break.
ADHD apps are full of streak guilt, notification spam, and dark patterns dressed as motivation. We chose differently. Here’s what that looks like.
- No streak-as-anxiety.Earn a trophy and it stays earned. Miss a day and nothing breaks. We celebrate the wins, we don’t weaponize the streaks.
- No notification slot machine.Three optional pings a day, then we’re out of your way. No re-engagement campaigns, no manufactured urgency.
- No selling your data.Your patterns are yours. We don’t sell ads, we don’t share data with third parties, and aggregated trends are anonymous by design.
- No 10-minute "quick check-in" loops.Ten seconds and you’re done. Close the app and go live your day. Your time is the resource we respect most.
- Built by people with ADHD.Not studied from the outside. Every friction we removed is friction we lived with. We needed this to exist.
An anatomy of the app.
Every surface earns its keep. Here are three you’ll see most.
You’re 8 days into a charged streak. Your historical average is 5. Your body usually forces a crash around now.
Front-load important work today, then ease off. Two short walks beat one long push.
One pattern. One named decision.
Each signal does one job: name what’s happening, say what to watch for, and recommend one action. No charts to interpret, no jargon to translate. The work of pattern detection happens behind the scenes; the surface stays scannable.
Earn it once. It stays earned.
Trophies celebrate the milestones, they don’t guard them. Miss a day, the trophy is still yours. We tell you when something fires; we never use it to pull you back. Light gamification, never coercion.
Your afternoon energy averages 7.4, about 1.6 points higher than your mornings.
Plan demanding work between 1pm and 4pm when possible. Easier doesn’t mean better; aligned does.
A single decision-grade nudge.
Open the app, you get one card. Sometimes it’s a heads-up. Sometimes it’s a celebration. Sometimes it’s the kind of pattern you’d only spot after months of journaling. Always specific, never generic.
Three steps. Ten seconds.
The signals that find your patterns.
Every pattern is backed by peer-reviewed research on neurodivergent energy cycles. Three that change how you plan your days:
What if we could map the neurodivergent energy cycle?
Clinical research has snapshots from 45-minute appointments. We have continuous, opt-in logs from real people in real days. With enough of us logging, we can answer questions clinical research has never captured at this scale.
Top activities that lift energy. Worst combinations for crashes. Average cycle lengths across the community. Honest aggregates, not hype.
