ADHD apps for Android, sorted by the problem they help with

Most lists of ADHD apps rank them, and a rank hides the thing you actually need: which problem is yours. So this one runs the other way. Start with what is going wrong (you are stuck, you feel a lot and cannot name it, the scroll keeps eating your day), then see which Android apps are made for that. It is not a ranking, and no app here is the best one. Every rating, download count and price below was read from the app's own Google Play listing in November 2026.

Soot is our own app, so she is on this list and we say so. If you only want her, here she is: Get it on Google Play.

If you are stuck or spiralling

Soot is ours, made by Raedus Labs, and she launched on Google Play on 2026-11-04, so she has no ratings yet. That is a real gap next to the apps below, and we would rather say it than hide it. She is built for one moment: a text left on read, a task too big to start, a mistake that keeps replaying. You tap what is going on, in your own words, and she walks you through a 2-minute Reset: name the feeling, step back from the story your brain is telling you, and find one small first step. She is free, shows no ads, has no streaks, and works without an account. The one part that needs a free account is Tell Soot, where you describe what is going on in a few words, and that part uses AI. Everything else works without one.^[1]

If you want a pet that nudges you gently

Finch is a self-care pet. You look after a small bird by doing small things for yourself, and the check-ins are light on purpose. It is the app on this list with the most behind it: 4.9 on Google Play across more than 637,000 ratings, and 10M+ downloads.^[2] That is far more evidence than a newly launched app has, and if a gentle daily habit is what you want, that evidence counts. It is free to download and has in-app purchases, and its listing shows no ads. Our own page on it covers where people say it stops working for them: Finch alternative.

If you cannot name what you are feeling

How We Feel helps you put a precise word on a feeling, which is a skill in its own right and a useful first step before you decide what to do about it. It is free to download, with no in-app purchases and no ads on its listing, and it is rated 4.2 across 4,357 ratings on Google Play.^[3] It is not built for ADHD in particular. It does one thing, and it does not ask for anything back.

If you want to track your mood

Daylio is a quick mood diary: a few taps a day, then a look back over weeks. It is rated 4.7 across 464,402 ratings with 10M+ downloads. It is free to download, with in-app purchases, and its Google Play listing says it contains ads.^[4] Bearable tracks more: mood, symptoms and the things that might be affecting them, so you can look for patterns. It is rated 4.6 across 10,636 ratings, free to download with in-app purchases.^[5] Both help you see a pattern after the fact. Neither is made for the moment you are in the middle of one. We compare them with the in-the-moment angle in mood tracking apps for ADHD.

If the scroll keeps eating your day

Nudge is an app blocker. It comes from the same maker as Soot, Raedus Labs, so it is ours too. Its Google Play listing says it is open source, asks for no internet permission and keeps your data on your device, and lists delay-to-open (a breathing exercise or countdown before a distracting app opens), hard blocking, daily time budgets, schedules, and blocking Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts without blocking the whole app.^[6] It is free, has no in-app purchases and no ads, and shows no rating yet, with 1K+ downloads. If your problem is the phone rather than the feeling, this is the one made for it.

If you need help with the day itself

Three apps cover the doing side, and they overlap. Tiimo and Structured lay your day out as a visual timeline, and both are free to download with in-app purchases. Tiimo is rated 4.6 across 3,704 ratings, and Structured 4.6 across 32,633.^[7][8] Routinery is for building a routine one step at a time, rated 4.4 across 18,808 ratings with 1M+ downloads.^[9] Goblin Tools breaks a task you cannot start into small steps. On Google Play it costs US$0.99 and has in-app purchases, rated 4.5 across 1,666 ratings.^[10] Our pages go deeper on each: Tiimo, Structured, Routinery and Goblin Tools.

If you want to learn how ADHD works, or talk it through

Inflow is a structured ADHD programme in small lessons, rated 3.9 across 2,035 ratings. It is free to download, with in-app purchases.^[11] Wysa is a general mood-support app with a chat, rated 4.5 across 151,802 ratings, free to download with in-app purchases.^[12] Neither is a replacement for a doctor.

How to choose without a ranking

• Stuck right now: an app made for one hard moment, like the Reset in Soot.
• Want a gentle daily habit with a lot of people behind it: Finch.
• Cannot name the feeling: How We Feel.
• Want to see patterns over weeks: Daylio or Bearable.
• Phone is the problem: Nudge.
• Day is the problem: Tiimo, Structured, Routinery or Goblin Tools.

One last time, plainly: Soot and Nudge are ours, and Soot has no ratings yet. If a problem above sounds like yours and you want to try her, she is free: Get it on Google Play.
