ADHD Organizer: Llama Life

For years, there has been a 30/30-shaped hole in my heart, and I have bounced from app to app searching for a worthy replacement. I found the Llama Life website a few weeks ago and was disappointed to see that it was via Internet only, but then I was almost immediately thrilled to read that an iOS app was to release within the month. Talk about perfect timing! Words cannot convey how much this app means to me. As an ADHD woman whose sense of time is vestigial at best, finding a app that works with my brain is like birthday and Christmas rolled into one. 30/30 worked for me, and then it just… went away. 😭 I mourned that app the way other people might mourn lost family members. There is no telling how much time and money I’ve wasted searching for a replacement, but the search is finally over! HUZZAH. (That’s what the kids say nowadays, right??) To the developers of Llama Life, thank you thank you THANK YOU for all of your hard work. All of the features, the colors, emoji, the ability to break tasks down, to save routines, to easily enter times, the end time estimate, the planned vs. actual time, the divider bar… This app feels like it was designed especially for me. I cannot wait to see where you take it, and I’ll be a subscriber all the way!

I’ve been using Llama Life on desktop for about ten months, and it simplifies and gameifies the dreaded daily to-do list. So to now have this handy system on my phone really transforms the entire day for me! I’m able to manage my tasks as I’m doing them in different rooms of the house, or even out and about running errands! As an ADHDer, this is especially helpful as I can get detailed so easily and succumb to distractions and side quests! My favorite part of Llama Life is how they’ve managed to make something like a boring to-do list into something fun! Confetti, chimes, and the colors and themes just make it more appealing. I save my preset lists for routine-setting, check over my reports to see if I stuck to my time estimation, and even use their AI-assisted emoji matching to make those tasks even more fun. Can’t wait to see what’s next for Llama Life!

I have ADHD and, as an entrepreneur who must focus on tasks to get them DONE (as opposed to partially done in a thousand open tabs), Llama Life has been a lifesaver. Every aspect of the app (which I’ve been using on desktop for years) is a delight, from the colors to the icons to the branding… it even helps me break down my tasks into steps if I get stuck. Something about knowing I only have to do an unpleasant task for 20 minutes and then I can do something else… while listening to a focus-inducing soundscape… it makes the impossible possible. This is SUCH a worthwhile app. There is none other like it… and believe me, I have tried DOZENS of apps. This one is both practical and delightful. It’s beautifully executed. I’m so glad I found it! Also, who doesn’t llove llamas?🦙
