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

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

You're stuck at the very front of it.

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

Sixty seconds, start to finish.

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.
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.
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.
Let the timer run out.

Most people carry straight on past the sixty seconds. That's the mechanism working, not you cheating.
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

Two habits that make it 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.

Honest about the limits

What it doesn't 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.
