Partly fits

Visual Countdown Timerpartial · 56

It’s built around a clearly visual countdown to help people see time passing, which can make reminders harder to ignore than standard alerts.

Won’t cover: It’s primarily designed as a visual timer, not a dedicated task follow-through system with reminders tailored to your work tasks.

Tiimo: To-Do List & AI Plannerpartial · 54

It’s positioned as a visual daily planner/to-do list for ADHD and neurodivergent users, which aligns with your need for stronger visual cues.

Won’t cover: It still relies on a digital planner experience rather than clearly physical cues you can interact with away from the screen.

Structured: Daily Planner Todopartial · 52

It maps tasks and calendar onto a visual timeline, directly targeting the “visual prompt” side of your follow-through problem.

Won’t cover: It focuses on scheduling in a visual timeline inside a digital app, rather than providing a more physical, out-of-app cue system.

To Do List MinimaList & Widgetpartial · 49

Home-screen widgets can act as persistent, glanceable prompts that may feel harder to dismiss than push notifications.

Won’t cover: It’s still an app-and-widget reminder approach rather than a more physical, off-screen cue that forces action.
