Daily routines

Thruday helps you build daily routines with visual cues, reminders and notifications that make habits easier to follow. Create routines for your morning, evening, workday or school day, and bring more structure to the parts of the day that are easiest to lose track of.

Unlike other planner and calendar apps, we put visual planning, daily routines, task lists, mood tracking, and focus tools into one app, helping you stay organized and plan around real-life energy and attention. Thruday provides flexible planning for users with ADHD and Autism and powerful for everyone else.

Todo lists

Better than a basic todo list, Thruday helps you prioritize tasks in a visual, simple and low-pressure way. Add subtasks, reorder tasks easily, and see everything in one calm space with color-coded priorities and flexible lists.

Journal and notes

Keep a private journal for thoughts, notes and brain dumps that only you can see. Write freely, capture ideas before they vanish, and come back to personal reflections whenever you need them.

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.

Harold Belozy

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!

Zennor97

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!

Hayziie

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.

Addie User

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!

Log your mood and energy while you plan your day

Mood tracking isn't just for those who have ADHD, Autism, Epilepsy or other challenges that affect daily life. Thruday keeps mood tracking alongside planning instead of pushing it into a separate app or a separate habit. That makes it easier to notice patterns, understand harder days, and make changes when energy, focus, or motivation feel different.

Our app provides clear daily visual plans showing the shape of your day, so it is easier to see what is happening, what is next, and what needs to move when plans change. That helps turn the day into something you can actually follow, not just something you are trying to keep up with.

How does Thruday support neurodivergent people in daily life?

Our visual planning app reduces task and time blindness through routines, reminders and mood communication. It’s built to help users plan their day with structure and calm.

What makes Thruday different from other ADHD planner apps?

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.

    Can Thruday help children or teens with Autism or ADHD?

    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.

    Is my information private and secure?

    Yes. Thruday keeps your data safe and never sells it. Your visual planner and journal are private by default.
