They're over the moon

Fantastic app which is so easy to use. It keeps me organised and on schedule which is more than other apps have managed to do so far. Would highly recommend it to others who struggle to remember things. It has changed my life!

If you have issues with remembering, scheduling etc then this app is for you. It’s almost like having a personal assistant in your pocket! To have the ability to keep notes, checklists, my schedule, appointments etc all in one place has been a godsend with reminders and alerts to give me that ‘nudge’ I often need!

I’ve never been good in being productive and organised and had to use different things which made it even worse. Having an app where I got my notes, checklists, reminders and help from my partner to manage it has changed me, reeled in a promotion at work and I feel so much less stressed. Would highly recommend to anyone who is neurodivergent and struggling.

My experience with Thruday so far has exceeded expectations! If you are looking for some extra help with organising your day and your life, then look no further. Will be using this App and it’s great features for the foreseeable!

This app has change my life, helped me so much and now I feel organised. Thank you to Andy for putting his neck on the line and making this, it must be hard doing it for free.

Very underrated. Has been so helpful and far more useful than any other app I’ve used!

This is the best app I’ve found to help my daughter complete daily tasks without me verbally reminding her which makes her annoyed with me. Also, the developer has been very helpful when I’ve had questions……words can’t convey my thanks!!!

This app as been such a lifesaver for me. It is easily approachable and does a great job of filtering content so I don’t get overwhelmed. It’s just customizable enough to meet my needs without being too much, and has just the right amount of features. I can keep all of my scheduling and tracking in one app without feeling totally underwater every time I open it. Also, the development team is so helpful. Any time I have an issue they are quick to respond and clearly have a genuine interest in helping people. If you run into a problem, just reach out! They are always improving. Highly recommend this app to anyone. Thank you Thruday!

Thruday has been an amazing adhd app for my forgetfulness. It has far exceeded my expectations in regards to keeping me on track in my day to day life. I can plan everything in advance and the app will let me know 5 minutes beforehand that that task is due to start. Love how this app is so easy to use and would recommend to anyone considering on giving this app a try.

As someone who is neurodivergent and constantly seeking effective ways to manage my time and stay organised, I can confidently say that Thruday is a game-changer. This adhd calendar and routine app is designed to cater to the needs of neurodivergent individuals, providing a distraction-free environment and a host of features that promote focus and productivity.

Thruday has majorly changed my day to day life and reduced stress. Planning everything the day before and having the option of my partner adding things I’ve forgot made me realise I had more time than I thought. I was less stress, didn’t forget to do things and got my stuff done including work. Very helpful app highly recommend

How do I get started with Thruday?

Thruday is free to download and use. This means that the app is free to download and use forever. I have included a generous amount of features which is technically all you need to succeed however, we do have subscriptions in the app that enable ‘nice to have features’ that supports running costs of the server infrastructure, running costs and our future vision for widely accessible neurodiverse technology and services for everyone.

Does Thruday support calendar sync and import?

Thruday supports device-level calendar integration, meaning it connects with your phone or tablet’s built-in calendar app. If your device calendar (on iOS or Android) is already linked to external services like Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook, then Thruday will automatically read from and write to those calendars – all activities imported are available on all devices.

It’s a “link once and forget” setup – once your device is connected, Thruday keeps everything in sync in the background with no manual importing or exporting needed.

This makes it easy to manage your work, school or daily schedules in external calendars while still benefiting from Thruday’s visual, neurodivergent‑friendly interface.

Can I share my routine or mood with carers or loved ones?

Invite assistants to your personal account and they can see your mood updates in real-time and see your routine as it is happening as well as help you plan and manage your routine.

Is Thruday suitable for ADHD, Autism, or general executive-function support?

Absolutely! At the core, neurodiversity extends beyond just ADHD or Autism. My neurodivergent planning assistance app is designed to help people who are forgetful, have a tendency to a miss important dates, need to frequently communicate mood changes or generally need assistance with planning their day to day activities.

The Thruday app works great for those who are living with Autism, ADHD, ADD, Epilepsy, Depression, Anxiety, Mood Disorders, Medication side effects, traumatic brain injuries and more.

Can Thruday help children or teens with Autism or ADHD?

The Thruday app is well-suited for children and teens living with Autism, ADHD, or similar support need.

Our neurodivergent-focused planning app includes

  • A visual, emoji-based daily planner that’s easier for younger users to understand
  • Mood tracking using simple colours (traffic-light system)
  • Reminders and visual routines that reduce anxiety and time-blindness
  • Assistant access, allowing trusted adults (parents, carers, teachers) to help with daily planning

Many parents and professionals use Thruday to build structure and predictability, which is especially helpful for children who thrive on routine or need extra help managing transitions.

Can Thruday help with executive dysfunction?

Yes. Thruday is built to support:

  • Task initiation and transitions
  • Emotional regulation (with mood tracking)
  • Breaking down daily structure into small, visual steps
  • Avoiding overwhelm through color-coded guidance and priority focused planning

Many users report feeling “calmer” and “more understood” after using it consistently.

Does Thruday send reminders or alerts?

Yes! Thruday sends notifications to all of your signed in devices that have been granted notification permissions.

  • Set time-based reminders for to-dos
  • Get push notifications when it’s time to change activities
  • Customize how often you’re reminded or nudged
  • Receive visual reminders (with icons, color, and emotion cues)

More features are always being added too designed to keep you focused.

How do support assistants work?

Assistants are trusted people — like a parent, partner, friend, or support worker — who you invite to view and support your daily plan.

They can:

  • View your schedule and updates
  • See your mood changes in real time
  • Help add or adjust tasks
  • Get alerts when you’re feeling off-track

You can get support with your scheduling, planning and even communicate your moods without words with anyone you choose. Simply head to your schedules dashboard, enter the persons email and we will take care of the rest enabling them to see your schedule, get updates, add activities and more.

How do I use Thruday with a support worker, coach or therapist?

Thruday’s “Assistant” feature makes it easy to collaborate with a support worker, therapist, or case manager.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Invite your support worker or therapist via their email from your profile dashboard
  2. Once they accept, they can:
    • View your planner and mood updates in real time
    • Help you build or adjust your daily routine
    • Offer remote support and structure when you’re struggling
    • See how your mood and tasks are progressing across the week

Because assistants can see emotional patterns and missed tasks without needing to ask constantly, it reduces overwhelm and improves communication, especially for those who find verbal check-ins exhausting.

Thruday becomes a shared space for planning and reflection — helping you and your support team stay in sync, even if you’re not in the same room.

Can I use Thruday without an internet connection?

Thruday supports offline access.

You can:

  • Open the app and view your planner
  • Create, edit, or delete tasks and reminders
  • Update your mood or journal entries

All changes made offline are stored locally and will automatically sync in the background once you’re back online. This means you can use Thruday on the go whether you’re in school, commuting, or simply want to disconnect.

How can I switch between iOS, Android and Web?

Once you have registered for a free account that requires no credit card sign up or subscription, you can simply load Thruday on your chosen device or platform and login with your email address and password. Thruday has been designed to be as flexible as possible no matter where you are or what devices you have access too.

What makes Thruday different from a regular calendar or planner app?

Unlike traditional calendar apps, Thruday is designed for neurodivergent users first – not big corporate teams or generic scheduling.

Here’s how Thruday stands apart:

  • Visual-first interface: Plan your day with thousands of emoji-style icons and colour-coded tasks instead of abstract text blocks
  • Mood + routine awareness: Track how you’re feeling and see how your emotional state evolves throughout the day
  • Assistant access: Invite carers, parents, or professionals to help manage your day in real time
  • Free core access: Thruday’s base version is completely free and comes with everything you need to succeed — no ads or trials
  • Made by a neurodivergent founder: The app is created by someone who understands the challenges of ADHD, Autism, and executive dysfunction first-hand

Thruday isn’t just about productivity — it’s about support, emotional safety, and cognitive accessibility.
