The gamified, forgiving departure timer built for ADHD executive function.
Traditional alarms create cortisol spikes, snooze spirals, and shame. Departure Alarm transforms leaving into a satisfying game with live ticking countdown bounties, a 5-minute pre-departure buzzer, instant grace buffers, and forgiving stepped rewards where you never lose a streak.

Cortisol triggers paralysis and rebellion. Dopamine generates focus, urgency, and momentum.
Standard alarms treat departures like unexpected emergencies, triggering executive dysfunction loops.
A gamified launchpad tailored to working memory limits and dopamine-driven motivation.
Every interaction was intentionally designed around the neuroscience of executive function.
Task-switching is notoriously exhausting for ADHD minds. Departure Alarm fires a gentle chime exactly 5 minutes before your departure time, allowing you to wrap up your current thoughts instead of suffering an abrupt jolt.
Time blindness makes deadlines feel either "now" or "not now". Watching bonus points drop live on screen transforms abstract minutes into immediate visual stakes, triggering an irresistible urge to grab your coat early.
Perfectionism is a habit killer. Leaving on time earns 40 coins (up to 100 early). Up to 5 minutes late still awards 20 coins, and over 5 minutes late awards 10 coins. You never lose a streak or face a penalty screen.
Real life happens: finding a missing shoe or brushing teeth takes unexpected minutes. One tap on "+2 min buffer 🧘" or "+5 min buffer 🏃" cleanly recalculates your departure target with zero guilt or shame.
Do not waste working memory trying to recall if you packed your essentials. Fast toggle chips for Keys, Phone, Wallet, Meds, Water, and Coat let you check items off in a single tap right on the departure screen.
Every departure deposits coins toward a grand lifetime voyage. Unlock 18 progressive travel badges starting from Walking Shoes and Local Bus tickets up to Boarding Passes, Private Jets, and the Moon Landing.
Turn everyday consistency into an exciting progression path. No resets, no expired coins.
