You write down whatever is on your mind, typed or spoken, one thing or five at once, and Maitland turns it into tasks. You’re never asked to pick a folder, a priority or a deadline first.
For people who hate being micromanaged, even by themselves.
Tasks are grouped by how long they take. If you have 10 minutes, you see what fits in 10 minutes. Maitland shows you what you could do next and leaves the choice to you.
There are no counts, streaks or badges, and nothing turns red when a date goes by. A reminder comes only when you ask for one.
What you write stays in your own words. It’s encrypted on your device before it’s stored, and we don’t hold the key. It’s kept as plain text (Markdown), and you can export it whenever you like.
Everyone interacts with tasks differently. For some, the pressure that comes with being told to do a task, even by themselves, can spur anxious feelings. Called “demand avoidance” or “PDA,” this trait is reported in people with ADHD or autism, but it is not limited to those groups.
Many apps, including some made for neurodivergent people, use loud alerts, reminders you didn’t ask for, streaks and gamification, which can trigger this feeling. Maitland leaves those out by design. Tasks are presented as offers, not demands, and dates and reminders come only when you ask. Maitland is not a medical app or a therapy. It is for anyone who hates being told what to do, including by themselves.
