Endearist

For adhd

A personal CRM for people with ADHD — out of sight, out of mind is working memory, not a character flaw.

You love your people. You also genuinely forgot they exist for six weeks — and the shame of that makes reaching out harder, not easier. Endearist is being built as external memory for relationships: gentle nudges, zero guilt mechanics, a journal that holds what your brain drops.

Externalize the working memory — that's the whole trick

ADHD brains don't lack love; they lack a reliable buffer. The friend who isn't physically in front of you genuinely stops existing for a while — and that's neurology, not neglect. The strategy that works for keys and deadlines works for people too: put it outside your head. Endearist is being built to be that outside place: each person gets a page, each thought gets a journal line, and the app is meant to do the remembering so your affection stops depending on your recall.

Gentle nudges, never a guilt trip

You know the doom-app pattern: miss three reminders, earn a wall of red, avoid the app forever. Endearist is designed not to play along. There are no streaks to break, no overdue counters climbing, no notification shame-spiral. A nudge you miss just waits, as fresh tomorrow as today. The cadence is per-contact and yours to set loosely — "roughly every six weeks" is a valid rhythm. The bar is reachable on a bad-executive-function day, which is exactly when you need it to be.

Catch the thought in the ten seconds you have it

"Oh — Lena's exam was this week, I should ask how it went" has a shelf life of about ten seconds before the next thought bulldozes it. The relationship journal is built for exactly that window: open the person, type one line, done. No required fields, no categories to choose first, no friction tax on a fleeting thought. Months later, those one-liners are the reason your message says "how did the retake go?" instead of "hey, long time!"

A warmth score could replace the 3 a.m. shame audit

Without data, ADHD fills the gap with anxiety: everyone's mad at me, I've ruined everything, it's been too long to text now. A warmth score could replace that spiral with a calm, factual picture — most friendships are fine, two could use a hello, and "too long" is usually shorter than the shame claims. Reconnecting after a gap stops being an apology ritual and becomes a small, doable act: one person, one message, sent before the dread loads. Warmth tracking: scope and availability are not confirmed. Status: not decided yet.

A tool, not a treatment — and honest about it

Endearist doesn't treat ADHD and won't pretend to. It's an external scaffold for one specific, painful failure mode: people you love falling out of working memory. That's it — alongside whatever else helps you, from coaching to medication to body-doubling, all of which are between you and your clinician. The pricing proposal is a free tier up to 25 contacts, so you could find out whether it fits your brain before spending anything, and a one-time licence if it does. No subscription to forget about — we know our audience. Proposed plan, not purchasable yet: local core and data export. The proposed 25-contact limit is not a confirmed entitlement. Proposed plan, not purchasable yet: local app and AI with your own key (planned for v1). Sync over your own storage is planned for v1. Managed cloud services are not a lifetime feature. Proposed plan, not purchasable yet: managed AI (planned for after v1, as part of the Pro Cloud subscription only) and Endearist Cloud (planned for after v1, as part of the Pro Cloud subscription only). Specific budgets, routing and prices require approval. Family sharing: not decided yet; no included family seat is promised.

When Endearist isn't the right fit

Be honest with yourself about one thing: this is still a system, and systems are the thing that historically does not stick. Endearist is designed to survive neglect — nothing is meant to decay, nothing to shame you for a three-week gap, and picking it up after a silent month should cost one screen. But if you have already abandoned four tools, the realistic question is not whether this one is better designed; it is whether a lighter commitment would serve you more. Start with five people, not fifty. If five does not hold for a month, stop there.
