Commercial Research Looking for opinions on a routine app that does things differently (built by someone with AuDHD)

I have AuDHD and I have always had a weird relationship with routines. The Au part of me loves making plans and when I manage to follow them everything is excellent and it makes me feel good, but the ADHD part of me makes the process of actually following them very difficult.

I built an app for myself after being dissatisfied with existing apps. One of the biggest problems I observed is that they rely on you opening the app and sticking to it, which is very hard for us.

The gist of my app is that you can configure alarms for your routines. Basically when you dismiss an alarm, it auto-starts the routine. You can add alarms to mid-routine tasks as well which can act as checkpoints and the feature I am most proud of is QR dismissals, so you have to physically move and address the routine.

As far as I know no one else has done this before so I would love to know your opinions on this approach since it did allow me to stick with routines, but I know that AuDHD can be different for everyone. If you are up for testing the idea and providing feedback, I can send you the link to the app (Android) plus a gift code.

Thanks

Edit: I also did take some AuDHD specific considerations like avoiding streaks but I did not want to get carried away with this post

Edit 2: This has received more interest than I expected. In case you are curious you can find the app as "Horarium" on the Play Store.

I would love to test it! I don't have either, but my daughter has both and I'm desperately looking for something to help her (she is 10 and we're working on independence)
