Which ADHD-friendly app is the best for daily planning and reminders?

Obsidian.md

Obsidian: I’ve started using Obsidian for organizing my digital notes, and it’s basically everything I’ve ever wanted in a notes app. The markdown format is easy to use, future-proof, platform-agnostic, and I’m much less worried about data privacy. The graph view feels like it was designed to map the chaos of my ADHD brain, and since I’ve started writing notes in Obsidian, I’ve had a much easier time with both the writing process as well as feeling confident that important information is available to my working memory. I typically start by jotting something down in Drafts, and then I decide whether or not it’s an idea worth committing to memory in Obsidian when I process my inboxes.

Fantastical 2

Fantastical: I can’t stand the default Apple Calendar app. It’s fine, but it’s extremely limited and lacks many features that are standard for modern calendar applications (this tends to happen with many of Apple’s in-house apps, like Calendar and Mail—they favour stability over increased functionality). Fantastical has natural language parsing, so you can type or dictate the details of an event into a single field and it’ll do a good job of putting the right information in the right field. This is particularly useful for automation, because I can type or dictate event details in Drafts, then send that text to Fantastical to be parsed, which means I can add stuff to my calendar without actually having to look at my calendar. The best feature for me, though, are the saved calendar sets: I have a ton of different calendars for all kinds of different things, but some of them I hardly ever need to see (my automated lighting schedule, for example, or my calendar of daily alarms). Fantastical lets me look at different sets of calendars in different views, so I can be super granular looking at all the automations I’ve scheduled in the daily view, or just see my upcoming appointments and scheduled blocks in the weekly view, or just see important deadlines in the monthly/quarterly view. Doing the same in Apple’s Calendar app is super tedious.
