Goblin Tools is a lovely set of small ADHD helpers. Magic ToDo breaks a dreaded task into steps, the Formalizer rewrites a message, the Estimator guesses how long something will take. They are quick, single-purpose, and genuinely useful in the moment.
They are not a place to keep your work, though. Once a task is broken down, it lives nowhere. ADHD Notes is the home those broken-down steps can go into, with context attached and a way to bring them back when it is time.
