The Verdict
Llama Life is wonderful for ADHD brains - the founder's lived experience with ADHD shows in every design choice. The timeboxing approach, random task generator, and focus on completion (not endless lists) address real ADHD pain points. If you just need ADHD-friendly task completion, Llama Life is excellent. However, Llama Life is purely a task timer - it lacks habit tracking, goal setting, calendar integration, and family coordination. If you're ADHD and using Llama Life + other apps for habits, goals, family chores, and calendar planning, consolidate into Mind Your Now. You get Llama Life's timeboxing and ADHD-friendly design PLUS daily Compass briefings that integrate task completion with habits, calendar, and goals. Mind Your Now is also ADHD-friendly with visual planning and voice interaction. For ADHD individuals wanting task completion + habit and family management in one system, Mind Your Now is the better choice.
