tickk
Hey HN, I built tickk because I have ADHD and every productivity app felt like work. I'd have an idea, open an app, then spend 5 minutes deciding if it's a "task" or a "note" or which project it belongs to. By then, the thought was gone. What it does: - Talk into your phone/laptop → it transcribes and auto-categorizes into tasks, notes, or events - Uses local NLP (compromise.js) - no data leaves your device - Works offline, no account needed, completely free The key insight: Capture first, organize later. Your brain shouldn't have to categorize while it's still thinking. Tech stack: -…

Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days.

It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum. I'm trying to give people a feel for what masking, decision fatigue, and burnout can look like day-to-day. That’s hard to explain in words, but easier to show through choices and stats. I'm not trying to "define autism". I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning. I’ll keep tweaking it. If even a few people walk away thinking, "ah, maybe that’s why my coworker struggles in those…
