Thawly AI

Thawly is an AI-powered executive function engine designed to help people with ADHD overcome task paralysis. It offers two modes: Action Mode breaks tasks into absurdly tiny micro-steps, while Coach Mode untangles chaotic thoughts into actionable blueprints. Users input tasks or thoughts, and Thawly guides them through execution with a 2-minute timer. It is built for individuals who struggle with task initiation, procrastination, and decision paralysis.

How it works

Thawly operates through two distinct modes. Action Mode is for when you know the task but can't start; it instantly decomposes the task into micro-steps, with step 1 often being as simple as 'stand up'. Coach Mode is for when everything is tangled; it asks guided questions to structure chaotic thoughts into a clear blueprint. Both modes are supported by a 2-minute Focus Mode timer that shows one step at a time, and a Blind-Box Brain Dump feature that randomly picks a task from your dumped thoughts to bypass decision paralysis.

Key capabilities

Thawly includes several features designed for ADHD brains. The 2-minute Focus Mode uses a Picture-in-Picture floating widget to keep you on task. Steps are editable, allowing you to add, delete, or rewrite any AI-generated step. The system uses CBT-based micro-step generation with energy-level awareness (low, mid, high) to tailor steps to your current state. It also offers a Progressive Web App with offline support, voice and text input, and a Brain Dump feature for up to 10 active items.

Who it is for

Thawly is for anyone with ADHD who experiences task paralysis, procrastination, or decision paralysis. It is particularly useful for those who know what to do but can't start, or who feel overwhelmed by complex goals. The tool is also beneficial for individuals who struggle with cleaning, paperwork, or other tasks that require sequencing and sustained attention. It is designed for brains that work differently, providing external executive function support.
