Everything you need
to get moving

A daily planner for brains that stall at the start. Sumu does the deciding and the timing, so all you have to do is the next small thing.

Sumu listening to a spoken brain dump and writing it down

Say it out loud. Sumu writes it all down as you talk, then pulls the real tasks out of the mess.

Every task gets a time. A real slot in the day, an honest duration, and the small steps it’s actually made of.

Sumu's journey card: a sixty-day streak grid with longest run and trophies

Your journey, visible. Sixty days at a glance: every day you showed up, your longest streak, and the trophies you’ve earned.

Sumu's focus timer set to a 25-minute session on one task

One task at a time. A calm focus timer holds you to a single step. Slide to set how long you have, then start.

Tired of ending the day with nothing finished?

Riley
I have eleven tabs open and I still don’t know what to start.
Sam
Everything feels urgent, so nothing actually gets done. Busy all day, nothing finished.
Josh
I wrote the list. I just can’t make myself open it.
Maya
I’m not lazy. I just can’t find the first step.
Ella
I lose the whole morning deciding what the morning is for.
Tom
Half my tasks are just remembering the other half.
By the time I’ve planned the day, the day is over.
Starting is the whole problem, not the work.

You’re not alone

Sumu was built for exactly this, and it starts by asking you to say it out loud, not to write another to-do list.

Plan my day in 60 seconds

Built for
ADHD minds

The to-do list was never the problem. Starting it was. Sumu picks the order, puts a time on each task, and hands you a day you can actually begin.

Say the whole tangle.
Sumu sorts it.

Talk or type it all in one go. Sumu pulls out the real tasks, gives each one a start time and an honest length, and puts them in an order that fits the hours you have.

Catches everything
Four scheduled tasks out of one run-on sentence, nothing dropped.
Speak or type
Say it out loud on the days writing is too much. It sorts either way.

Watch the small
wins stack up.

Sumu keeps the receipts: day streaks, longest runs and a shelf of trophies. So on the days it doesn’t feel like progress, the record says otherwise.

Day streaks
Twelve days running, with your best-ever streak kept beside it.
Trophy shelf
Eight trophies to earn, each showing exactly how close you are.

It broke a task I had avoided for three weeks into five steps. I did all five that morning.

Quicker than writing it down, and it actually puts the thing in my day.

The voice capture is the whole app for me. Typing was the barrier.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently
Asked Questions

Is Sumu only for people with ADHD?

No, but it's designed around that experience. If deciding what to do next is the hardest part of your day, Sumu is built for you. Plenty of people use it simply because a to-do list has never been enough to get them started.

What if I fall behind or skip a day?

Nothing punitive. Unfinished tasks roll forward, and one tap replans the rest of the day around the time you've actually got left.

Does it replace my calendar?

It sits alongside it. Sumu reads what Apple Calendar, Google or Outlook already has booked, plans around those meetings, and writes back only the blocks it created.

Do I have to talk to it out loud?

No. Typing gets the same result, because Sumu reads one run-on sentence as well as it hears one. Voice is there for the days when writing is the thing stopping you.

Is my brain dump private?

Recordings are written up and then discarded, the text stays in your account, and you can delete any dump, or everything, from Settings.
