For ADHD
An ADHD planner that plans for you
Brain-dump out loud. Salta turns the mess in your head into today's plan — nothing to set up, nothing to maintain.
The hardest part of planning with ADHD usually isn't the doing — it's the setting up and the starting. Salta is an AI life planner for ADHD that handles both: you talk or type what's in your head, and it drafts the day, breaks big tasks into small next steps, and keeps everything on one screen so nothing falls out of sight. No template to build, no blank page. Free to try.
Salta is a planning tool, not a treatment, and makes no medical claims.
Why ADHD apps end up in your app graveyard
Most planners quietly hand you three jobs: build the system, keep it tidy, and remember to look at it. For a lot of people with ADHD those are precisely the friction points — the setup is a wall, an empty list is paralysing, and a task that scrolls out of view scrolls out of mind. So the app becomes one more thing to maintain, and joins the pile of ones you downloaded, meant to use, and abandoned. Nothing was wrong with you. The tool asked for the exact thing it was supposed to help with.
How Salta is different
- You talk, it plans. Say everything at once — Salta turns the brain-dump into dated, reminder-ready tasks. No blank page to face.
- Big goals become small steps. "Get fit" or "file my taxes" is split into the next concrete action, not a daunting block.
- One screen. The errands you'd forget and the goals you keep deferring sit side by side and get reviewed every morning — nothing hides.
- No setup, no shame. Nothing to configure; missed days are re-planned, not scolded. Salta is optimistic and direct.
Paper planner vs. ADHD apps vs. Salta
There's no single best ADHD planner for everyone — the right one is whichever survives a bad week. Here's an honest look at what each approach actually asks of you.
| What it asks of you | Paper planner | Typical to-do app | Salta |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup before it's useful | Buy it, build the layout | Projects, labels, dates | None — you just talk |
| Starting each day | A blank page | A blank list | The day arrives drafted |
| Breaking a big goal down | You do it | You do it, as sub-tasks | AI drafts the steps |
| When you fall behind | Rewrite the page | Overdue piles up until you clear it | It re-plans, no scolding |
| Where your day lives | On the desk you left it | In a Today view, if you file it right | One screen |
| Capturing a thought | Find it, write it | Type it, file it | Say it out loud |
| Cost to start | A few dollars | Free to paid | Free to start |
Paper wins on one real thing: it never pings you, and it can't crash. If a notebook works for you, keep it. Salta is for the weeks when the notebook goes blank.
A daily planner for ADHD that re-plans when you fall behind
Falling behind is the moment most systems break — the overdue count turns into a scoreboard of failure and the app gets closed for good. Salta sees a missed day as information, not a verdict: unfinished tasks carry forward, the morning review takes a minute, and the day starts drafted instead of blank. That's the ADHD organization problem in one line — it was never about discipline, it was about upkeep. Take the upkeep away and organization stops being a project you maintain.
A simple way to start
Open Salta and say one sentence about your day. Approve the plan it drafts. Tomorrow, review what carried over and go again — planning your day with AI is meant to take a minute, not a setup weekend. If you already live in ChatGPT or Claude, you can even run Salta from your AI assistant.
Coming from another app?
If a manual list stopped working, that's the signal. See how Salta compares as a Todoist alternative, Things 3 alternative, or Notion alternative — the common thread is that Salta does the planning instead of leaving it to you.
Questions
ADHD planner FAQ
What is the best ADHD planner?
The best ADHD planner is the one you don't have to set up — because setup is where most of them die. Salta is an AI life planner: you talk or type what's on your mind and it drafts the plan for you. No template to build, no blank page to face. It breaks big tasks into small next steps and keeps your whole day on one screen so nothing falls out of sight. Free to start in your browser.
What are the best ADHD apps for adults?
Most ADHD apps for adults fall into three groups: to-do apps you configure yourself, timers and focus tools, and habit trackers. They work if maintaining the system is easy for you. If the upkeep is the hard part, look for an app that does the planning instead of handing you an empty list. That's the gap Salta fills — you brain-dump out loud, it drafts the day, you approve.
Does Salta work as an ADHD planner for adults?
Yes — it's built for exactly that. Adult life is errands, work, admin and the goals you keep deferring, all competing at once. Salta takes the whole brain-dump in one go, turns it into dated, reminder-ready tasks, and shows them on a single screen. It's a planning tool, not a treatment.
Is there a good daily planner for ADHD?
A daily planner for ADHD has to survive the day you fall behind. Salta re-plans instead of scolding: unfinished tasks carry forward, you review them in a minute each morning, and the day starts drafted rather than blank. Nothing to rebuild, no overdue pile shaming you.
Is there an ADHD to-do list app?
There are many, and that's part of the problem — an ADHD to-do list only helps if it's still accurate a week later. Salta drafts and updates the list for you from conversation, so keeping it true isn't another chore. Everything lives on one screen instead of scattered across projects and labels.
Does Salta actually help with ADHD?
Salta is not a treatment and makes no medical claims. What it does is remove the two things that make planning hard with ADHD: the setup friction of building a system, and the blank-page paralysis of starting. You speak, it plans, you approve — and big goals become small, visible next steps.
Why do to-do apps fail for ADHD?
Most to-do apps assume you'll build and maintain the system — choose projects, set dates, keep it tidy. For many people with ADHD that upkeep is exactly the hard part, and out-of-sight tasks get forgotten. Salta plans for you and shows the day on one screen, so the system isn't another chore.
Is Salta free?
Yes, Salta is free to start — no card, nothing to set up. You get AI credits to plan with, and a paid subscription unlocks more. It works by voice or text on iPhone, Android and the web.
Salta is a planning tool, not a treatment. It makes no medical claims and is not a substitute for professional care.
