Show HN: SpongeHome – ADHD-Friendly Task and Focus Tool with AI and Stress Games

1 points by zensearock 7 hours ago

Hey HN,

I built *SpongeHome*, a productivity and focus tool designed for ADHD and anxiety-prone users. Unlike traditional task managers, SpongeHome integrates *AI-powered task breakdown, stress relief mini-games, and a privacy-first design* to help users stay on track without feeling overwhelmed.

### What makes SpongeHome different? - *Two unique stress-relief modes:* 1. *Shout Mode* – Yell to score points and beat imaginary enemies (uses offline voice recognition). 2. *Bubble Pop Mode* – Tap a sponge to release and burst bubbles, simulating a relaxing bath-time experience.

- *AI Task Management* - Auto-breaks down tasks into *small, dopamine-friendly steps* - Smart categorization to reduce decision fatigue - Privacy-first: No cloud sync, fully local

### Why I built this As someone struggling with focus and procrastination, I found that traditional to-do apps felt overwhelming. Many ADHD users need *low-friction, playful ways to start tasks* rather than complex workflows. SpongeHome is my attempt to make productivity fun, engaging, and stress-free.

Would love to hear feedback from the community – especially if you’ve struggled with focus, ADHD, or just want a fresh take on task management!
