ADHD follow-through
A follow-up app should remember to check the list for you.
For ADHD, capture is only half the job. A useful follow-up system keeps the person, context, and next return point together, then brings the open loop back without requiring you to remember to look.

The list is not the memory
A task can be perfectly written and still disappear. If retrieval depends on opening the right view on the right day, the system has quietly handed the hardest part back to working memory.
Waiting is a real state
When someone else owes the next move, treating the item as an ordinary task creates noise and guilt. A waiting item should leave today’s work while retaining a return point.
The hook is proactive continuity
ADHD Notes is designed as a partner that resurfaces the thread with its context. It does not claim that an algorithm always knows what is most important. It makes the open loop visible and lets you choose.
Questions people ask
Why do I forget follow-ups even when I write them down?
Writing removes the thought from working memory, but a silent list depends on you remembering to return. The retrieval system failed, not the capture.
What should a follow-up app track?
At minimum it should track who has the next move, what you are waiting for, the context, and when the thread should return.
Is a reminder the same as a follow-up?
No. A reminder is a notification at a time. A follow-up is an open loop with another person or organization and may need repeated resurfacing until it closes.
Test the idea before creating an account.
Use a real thought. Review what the assistant found. Nothing is added unless you approve it.
