SukhaSukha: The flow state app

ADHD & Focus,
a Marriage Made In
Hea‑yWhatsThat?

SUKHA - IS THIS GONNA HELP ME OR NOT?

All I wanted was a way for
my brain to stop skipping task-to-task
so I could get stuff done.

Sukha is not a corporate ADHD app
with 4,000 paid medical doctors on our website
proclaiming how it's the end to ADHD for our generation.

Sukha just happens to be designed by me,
someone medically diagnosed with ADHD as an adult
who is experimenting with ways to stay on task
and get my work done and have a life
and be a good dad and husband.

Sukha is my simple attempt
to tackle
the 3 things that plague me:

  1. Where do I start? I'm already overwhelmed.
    Staring at my task list caused me to lock-up and then waste time on social media. So Tony & I made an AI assistant that breaks down my tasks into little, easily-achievable pieces - and also helps me prioritize them. SOLVED.
  2. Everything is distracting. My other tabs. My phone. Emails I could return. Life.
    Tony and I built a simple way to detect if I go to pick up my phone or open a random website or app. Then my little AI coach kicks me in the ba...I mean speaks up to nudge me back on track. SOLVED.
  3. When I do get in a groove, I want to stay there and knock this task out.
    The easiest fix for me was really great focus music that just keeps my brain in a happy rhythm. This was the easiest fix of all. SOLVED.

Heard enough and

So what is Sukha exactly?

A website you run in the background while you work. Nothing to install.

Frequently asked questions

Honestly? No, and I would rather tell you that than sell you something.

Sukha is built for deep work. It happens to help a lot of people with ADHD, including me, because the things that make focus hard with ADHD are the things it takes off your plate. That is a different sentence from “designed for ADHD”, and the difference matters when you have been burned by apps that promised to fix you.

It is not a medical tool and it does not treat anything. I make software. If you think something is going on, go see an actual professional. I did.

Task paralysis is usually a sizing problem, not a willpower problem. The thing in front of you is too big or too vague for your brain to get hold of, so it slides off and you end up reorganizing your desk.

The AI coach exists for exactly that moment. You tell it the thing you are avoiding, and it breaks it into one specific next step small enough to actually start. Not a project plan. One step.

That is the whole trick, and it is unglamorous: you are never staring at "WRITE Q3 STRATEGY" wondering where the entrance is.

Fair, and this is the objection I take most seriously, because a focus app that costs you executive function to operate is a bad trade.

Starting a session is one click. Not a setup wizard, not a config file, not fifteen minutes of choosing a playlist. One button starts the music, turns on the blocking, starts the timer and puts your task in front of you.

The five apps you would otherwise be opening by hand each need a decision from you before they do anything. That is the tax this is meant to remove.

The accountability in Sukha is gentle on purpose. Streaks and points that sit in the background, not a drill sergeant and not a game you can play instead of working.

The distinction we care about: gamified phone apps reward you for putting the phone down. Sukha rewards you for actually finishing the work. Nobody has ever been shamed into focusing, and I say that as someone who has tried to shame himself into focusing roughly nine thousand times.

For a lot of our members, yes, though attention is personal enough that I would rather you test it than take my word.

There are eight categories of focus audio: lofi, binaural beats, upbeat, downtempo, naturescapes (rain, streams, lakes, surf), synthetic noise (pink and brown), stopwatch clicking, and a live coffeeshop. Binaural is popular with developers, the coffeeshop with writers, and rain is strangely popular with everyone.

The point is that it is always on and under your control, rather than a playlist that serves you a track you have to go and skip.

Blocking covers websites and apps, on your computer and on your phone. The quiet you set up at your desk does not evaporate the second you pick up your phone, which is the failure mode of every desktop-only blocker.

Nothing to install. Sukha runs on Mac, Windows and Chromebook, in any Chromium browser (Chrome, Edge, Arc, Brave), so you can start a session straight after you sign up.

There is also an optional free Chrome extension, which works in any of those browsers, if you want the blocking to reach further across your browser.

If you're ready to stop saying these…

  • •“I’ll start it once I know where to start.”
  • •“I have been busy all day and I could not tell you with what.”
  • •“I just need to clear a couple of small things first.”

…then you're ready for Sukha.
