Who is Help! What Now? for?

Anyone who gets stuck: ADHD, anxiety, autism, executive dysfunction, shutdown, or overwhelm. It's built to reduce friction when your brain freezes.

Is this only for ADHD?

No. Many people use it for anxiety, autistic burnout, decision fatigue, or everyday overwhelm. ADHD is a core audience, not a requirement.

What problems does it help with?

Decision paralysis, executive dysfunction, task-starting friction, doomscroll spirals, and 'I can't pick' moments.

No. It's a lightweight decision tool: you build your own library and the app helps you pick one next step quickly.

What's the difference between Help! and What Now?

Help! is for emotional overload (anxiety, cravings, spiraling). What Now? is for practical stuckness (what task to do next).

What are entries, Things, and Combos?

Entries are reusable setups for common situations. Things are small actions. Combos are grouped actions that work well together.

Can I create my own entries?

Yes. You can build Help entries and What Now entries, then link your own Things and Combos so suggestions match your real life.

How are suggestions picked?

The app picks from what you saved and avoids serving the same immediate result again, giving you gentle variety without chaos.

Can I use it when I only have 2 minutes of energy?

Yes. The app is built around tiny, low-friction steps so you can do something useful even with low energy.

Does my data stay on my phone?

Yes. Data stays on your Apple device.

Does the app track me?

No personal account tracking inside the app flow. The focus is private, local-first use.

Is this medical or crisis advice?

No. It's a self-support tool, not medical care, diagnosis, or emergency support.

Can I try it before paying?

Yes. You can start with the free experience and upgrade only if premium features are useful for you.

Why are some creation features locked?

Some builder flows are part of paid tiers to support ongoing development. The app still provides value before subscribing.

What should I do when I feel overwhelmed right now?

Tap Help!, choose the closest situation, and take one tiny grounding action. Don't optimize—just do the smallest next step.

How do I stop doomscrolling?

Use a Help entry with a pre-saved interrupt action (like stand up, water, or 60-second reset), then follow the next prompt.

How do I pick one task when everything feels urgent?

Tap What Now? and let your saved library narrow the choice to one actionable next step instead of re-deciding from scratch.

What if I can't start anything?

Build ultra-small Things (30–120 seconds) and let the app pick one. Momentum beats perfect planning.

Help! What Now? — From overwhelm to one clear next step.

Help! What Now? is an iOS app for ADHD, anxious, and overwhelmed brains. Tap 'Help!' when big feelings hit, or 'What Now?' when you're stuck deciding what to do next.
