Hey there! We’re glad you’re here.
We’ve been working hard to create the best list of apps for ADHD adults, and we know it’s a tough job. That’s why we’ve put together this list of the best apps for ADHD adults—to help you find what works for you and your needs.
First, let’s talk about what ADHD is. ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and it’s a condition that can affect people of all ages. It usually manifests itself as difficulty staying focused on one task, difficulty concentrating on things that aren’t interesting or fun, difficulty organizing tasks or projects, and/or impulsivity (acting without thinking).
If you’ve been diagnosed with ADHD as an adult or suspect that you might have ADHD as an adult but haven’t been diagnosed yet, it might be helpful to see your doctor first before trying any new treatments or therapies. Your doctor can do an assessment to determine whether or not your symptoms align with the diagnostic criteria for ADHD in adults (which are different than those used to diagnose children). If they do line up with those criteria, then your doctor will explain why they believe their diagnosis is correct based on their research into current scientific literature related specifically

20 Apps that Can Help Individuals with ADD/ADHD
To end our 8 part series on ADD/ADHD, we have compiled a list of 20 apps that can help individuals with ADD/ADHD. Though smart phones and tablets can provide distractions for someone with ADD/ADHD, they can also be used in ways to set reminders, organize to-do lists, or keep track of busy schedules and an overload of information. Here are a mix of apps here geared to both children and adults with ADHD.
