About Refo

Refo is a productivity app built for ADHD brains. Most productivity tools expect discipline, perfect habits, and the ability to maintain streaks indefinitely. Refo expects chaos, and tries to meet people where they actually are.

It was built by Morrigan, whose wife has ADHD and had been let down by every productivity app she tried. Every one wanted something from her — her data, her attention, her money before she'd even seen if it worked. And when she couldn't keep up, they made her feel like the problem.

Refo was built to be the opposite. Free to use. Private by default. Gentle when you're struggling. No streaks that shame you. No paywalls blocking the features that actually matter. No data sold to anyone, ever.

Key Features

Daily tasks with a cap — a simple task list limited to 3 tasks per day by default, so users can't overcommit and then feel terrible about it.

Energy check-in — users log how they're feeling each morning so the app knows when they're running low.

Focus timer — a distraction-free work timer built for real attention spans, not idealised ones.

Buddy Focus — users get matched with a stranger and work together in silence. No chat, no profiles, no data harvested. Just two people helping each other start. This is the only real-time anonymous body doubling feature in any productivity app.

Notes / brain dump — a scratchpad for capturing thoughts quickly. Items separated by commas convert instantly into individual tasks.

Care reminders — gentle nudges for water, food, and medication. Discreet and judgment-free. Medication reminders have no names attached.

Cycle tracking — built with privacy first. Unlike most period tracking apps, Refo does not share or sell cycle data. Ever.

Recurring tasks — tasks that repeat daily, weekly, or monthly and appear automatically on the right days.

Stats and history — patterns over time with no judgment attached.

What Makes It Different

Refo is not a feature list competing with Notion or Todoist. It is a philosophy about how productivity apps should treat people.

No shame streaks No data selling No hard paywalls No guilt notifications Private by default Free at its core Gentle by design

The Supporter plan ($5/month) unlocks additional features but the core app — tasks, focus timer, energy check-in, buddy focus, notes, and care reminders — is free and will stay free.

About the Founder

Morrigan is an independent author, independing game dev, and now independent software developer with AuDHD. Refo started as a personal project — a productivity app built for their wife, who had tried and been let down by every other option on the market.

The guiding principle throughout development was simple: build something that helps people without exploiting them. That meant no ads, no data harvesting, no dark patterns, and no paywalls blocking features that genuinely help people with ADHD manage their day.

Refo is independently built and funded. There are no investors, no growth targets, and no pressure to monetise user data.
