Filuma · iPhone & iPad

Make room
for the work.

Give Filuma a task, a deadline, and an effort estimate. It finds time in your day, breaks the work into manageable blocks, and brings the next step into focus.

Built with ADHD planning challenges in mind.
By Nick Christoforakis, a neuroscience student at Middlebury.

Filuma’s Focus card shows a block to review neuroanatomy notes, the first step, and a Start early button.
The next block. The first action. A place to begin.

From intention to action

Give the task
a time and place.

A task list can tell you what needs doing and still leave you deciding when to do it. Filuma connects the task to the time available before its deadline.

Your sleep window, blocked time, and optional daily focus limit shape the plan. You can also choose Apple calendars whose events should count as busy time.

The empty task list invites you to add one task, a deadline, and an effort estimate.
01 / Capture the work.Start with one task. Add a deadline and estimate how much time it needs.
A Focus card puts the next work block and its first action above the upcoming task list.
02 / Find your next step.See the next block and an optional first action, such as opening your notes.
An active work session shows a timer, effort budget, and controls to pause or end and log the session.
03 / Work, then reassess.Track a session and record your progress. Missed blocks are replanned when the day changes.

Behind the app

A plan has to
survive the day.

I built Filuma around a problem close to home: making time for the work in front of me. These are three choices that shape how it works.

SwiftUI · SwiftData · EventKit

01 / Scheduling

Work with the time that exists.

The scheduler places blocks around existing commitments and prioritizes earlier deadlines when replanning. If the remaining work cannot fit, it surfaces that constraint so the deadline or estimate can be reconsidered.

Apple Calendar integration separates importing busy time from exporting work blocks to a dedicated Filuma calendar. Each direction is optional.

02 / Progress

Time spent and work finished are different.

A timer records effort. You decide how much of the task is complete. Work sessions are linked to their blocks so the same work is not counted twice, and unfinished effort stays in the plan.

03 / Starting

Bring the first action closer.

The Focus card keeps the next block and an optional first step together. That step also appears in the session timer and block-start notification, so you do not have to reconstruct where to begin.

Start with something
you actually need to do.

Try one task with a real deadline. Does the plan make sense? Is the next step clear? If something gets in the way, I’d like to hear about it.
