**Decisio (Stanford Longevity Design Challenge)**
Decisio is a finalist project from:
- Singapore Management University
- National University of Singapore
It is:
- An app designed to help teens with ADHD
- Focused on reducing cognitive overload
---
## What it actually does
Decisio helps users:
- Simplify decisions
- Reduce mental overwhelm
- Manage multiple tasks and choices
It targets a key ADHD issue:
- difficulty handling too many decisions at once
---
## Why this matters for ADHD
People with ADHD often struggle with:
- executive function (planning, prioritizing)
- decision paralysis
- task switching
Too many options can cause:
- stress
- avoidance
- inaction
Decisio is designed to:
- break decisions into smaller steps
- guide users toward clear next actions
- reduce “mental clutter”
---
## What makes it different
Unlike medication or traditional therapy, Decisio is:
- a digital behavioral support tool
- focused on daily decision-making
- aimed at prevention and habit support
---
## Big idea
Instead of treating ADHD directly, it helps with:
→ “What should I do next?”
→ “How do I choose between tasks?”
---
## Simple summary
Decisio is:
- an ADHD support app (not a drug)
- focused on reducing cognitive overload
- designed to improve decision-making in teens
Here are some of the main ADHD apps people actually use today (real, current—not just concepts like Decisio), grouped so you can see what each one helps with:
🧠 ADHD-specific (built for ADHD brains)
Inflow
Designed by ADHD experts
Combines coaching, habits, focus tools
Considered one of the most complete ADHD apps
Tiimo
Visual timeline for your day
Helps with time blindness and routines
Goblin Tools
Breaks big tasks into tiny steps
Great for decision paralysis / overwhelm
⚡ Focus & productivity (ADHD-friendly tools)
Todoist
Very simple, fast task capture
Good for “don’t forget this” moments
Forest
Grow a virtual tree while you stay focused
Helps reduce phone distraction
Focusmate
“Body doubling” (working with someone virtually)

---
🐣 Motivation & emotional support (very ADHD-friendly)
Finch
You take care of a virtual pet by completing tasks
Great for low-energy days
Habitica
Turns your life into a game (XP, rewards, levels)
Good for dopamine-driven motivation
🧩 New AI-style tools (closest to “Decisio-like”)
Recallify

Goblin Tools
(again here because it’s closest to Decisio concept)
Literally helps answer: “Where do I start?”
🧠 Big insight (important)
Most ADHD apps are trying to fix one core problem:
Forgetting → Todoist
Time blindness → Tiimo
Overwhelm → Goblin Tools
Motivation → Finch / Habitica
Focus → Forest / Focusmate
👉 That’s why no single app solves everything (this is exactly what projects like Decisio are trying to improve).
Simple summary
Yes—there are already many ADHD apps in real use today
The best ones focus on:
breaking tasks down
structuring time
reducing overwhelm
“Decisio” is basically trying to combine these into one smarter system
