Pass it on.
Send them something they can actually use.
Four free tools. A direct link. No account waiting on the other side.
The practical details.
Are all four apps really free?
Yes. No trial, card, account, subscription, or upgrade. You can use every feature without signing up.
Where do my tasks and activities go?
Task Breaker, Three-Pile, and Dopamine Menu save to this browser on this device. They don’t sync between devices. Anyone with access to this browser profile could see them. Crisis Protocol doesn’t save your answers.
Does Task Breaker send my task anywhere?
The default breakdown runs on your device. If you turn on the optional online breakdown, your task text is sent through our server to an AI provider. The result identifies whether it came from the provider or the built-in guide. See Privacy for details.
What if I clear my browser data?
Your saved tasks and menu will be removed. Download anything you want to keep before clearing site data. Private browsing and storage restrictions can also prevent saving.
Do I need to download anything?
No. Open an app in your browser on a phone, tablet, or computer. The built-in tools work without a network connection once the page has loaded. Opening a fresh page still needs a connection.
Do these apps treat ADHD?
No. These are practical planning and reflection tools built from lived experience. They don’t diagnose ADHD, assess risk, or replace medical or mental health care.
Who made these?
Matt Morrison, founder of Authentic Mess Studios and author of Built For Chaos: Designing a Life That Fits Your ADHD Brain.
Is Built For Chaos out?
Yes. Paperback and Kindle on Amazon. The free Starter Kit has the Introduction and Chapter 1 if you want to read some before deciding.
How does the book fit in?
Built For Chaos explains the wider system behind the tools. The free Starter Kit on builtforchaosbook.com includes a chapter, the restart protocol, and worksheets.
