How to use it

UnstickMe

One tap gives you a 60-second action, a voice that talks you through it, and a countdown that has already started without waiting for you to feel ready.

What it's for

What is the gap between knowing and beginning?

UnstickMe is for the specific moment when you know exactly what you need to do, the task isn't hard, and you still cannot begin. That gap isn't laziness and it isn't a planning problem — no amount of list-making closes it. What closes it is doing something small enough that starting stops being a decision.

That's the whole app. One tap gives you a 60-second action, a voice that talks you through it, and a countdown that has already started without waiting for you to feel ready.

Reach for it when

Why am I stuck at the very front of the task?

You've reread the same email four times. The dishes have been there since morning and you've walked past them nine times. You've been "about to start" for two hours. You're not procrastinating on something you dread — you're stuck at the very front of something you actually want to do.

Your first minute

What happens in sixty seconds?

  1. Open it and tap the button.
    Don't read the whole screen first. The app is designed to be used before you've decided to use it.
  2. Do the 60 seconds.
    It will be smaller than feels worthwhile. That's deliberate — the point isn't the task, it's ending the stall.
  3. Too hard? Tap that.
    Every action can shrink. "Clear the desk" becomes "move one thing off the desk." Keep shrinking until it's almost insulting, then do that.
  4. Let the timer run out.
    Most people carry straight on past the sixty seconds. That's the mechanism working, not you cheating.
  5. Come back tomorrow.
    Every start is logged. The streak isn't decoration — it's evidence, for the days you're convinced you never start anything.
Getting more out of it

Which two habits make UnstickMe stick?

Add it to your home screen
Hunting through browser tabs is precisely the friction that stops you opening it at the moment you need it most.
Use it before you feel ready
Not after. Waiting until you're motivated enough to open the unsticking app is its own trap.
Common questions

What does UnstickMe cost?

You get 5 free actions with no card. After that the app is $9.99 once, with no subscription. The 15-page Emergency Toolkit PDF is $17 on its own, and the app plus toolkit bundle is $19 instead of $26.99 bought separately.

What happens when I tap the button?

You get a randomized 60-second micro-action from a deck of 32, a calm voice talking you through it, and a countdown. If the step is too hard, one tap shrinks it. Every start is logged, because beginning is the habit worth building.

What is in the Emergency Toolkit?

The 90-Second Emergency Protocol, 12 task-initiation protocols, 10 Starter Cards and 15 friction reducers. The bundle also includes a printable cut-out deck for your desk or bag.

Where does my data live, and does it work offline?

Your log lives in your browser. There is no account, it works offline, and you can add it to your home screen.

Is UnstickMe a treatment for ADHD?

No. It is educational and tactical, not a treatment for ADHD and not medical advice.

Who is it for?

It is for the person who knows exactly what needs doing and still cannot start. The idea is that you do not need motivation to start. You need a step too small to refuse: movement first, momentum second, motivation last.

Can I try it before paying?

Yes. The first 5 actions are free, with no account and no card.

What other free help is there for focus?

The ADHD Audio Engine is free, with no account. It plays brown noise, binaural beats and a rhythmic pulse, generated live in your browser, around a focus timer. There is also a free 18-page guide, the ADHD Sound & Focus Protocol, with a frequency cheat sheet, three preset protocols and the Eliminate, Mask, Accept framework.

What does a 60-second step look like?

Examples from the deck: touch the keyboard, open a blank doc, write one ugly sentence. The step is small on purpose, so beginning stops being a decision you make alone.

Honest about the limits

What does UnstickMe not do?

Five actions are free forever, so you can find out whether this works for your brain before paying anything. The full deck is 32.

It's a starting tool, not a productivity system — there's no project management here and there shouldn't be. And it isn't treatment for ADHD; it's a tool that happens to suit how a lot of ADHD brains work.
