What users say

Our users love Thruday

Productivity is up and stress-levels are down. Thruday makes living easy with powerful visual planning tools created for people who forget things easily.

Thruday makes it really easy to plan my schedule. It’s visual, easy to use and flexible enough that it helps me at university, at work and during the day.

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. 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 app 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

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

    Our app is not just for adults. Its well-suited for children and teens living with Autism, ADHD, Dyspraxia, Epilepsy, ADD or similar neurodivergent traits that can make forgetting things a regular occurrence.

    Our 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 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 track moods and communicate feelings visually?

    Absolutely. The built-in mood tracker app uses a simple colour-coded system to share how you feel — ideal for ADHD, Autism and executive-function challenges.
