ADHD can make everyday tasks hard to start.

An ADHD support app built around getting unstuck.
Everything is too much?
Reduce the noise first. Goblinaut offers simple regulation and sensory-support tools without asking for a long explanation.
Words are hard?
Ask for help without explaining everything. Simple messages can tell a trusted adult what the child needs.
Storm just passed?
Recover before the next demand. Water, food, quiet, rest, or someone nearby may be the next useful step.

Helpful context for parents, without turning ADHD into a scoreboard.
Parents can add and adjust routines, break tasks into manageable steps, reduce visual stimulation, use discreet stealth mode, and see limited weekly patterns that may help start a conversation.
Useful context, not surveillance. Parents can adjust support and see limited, aggregated patterns, not a minute-by-minute history of what their child did or felt.

Questions parents ask first
Is Goblinaut an ADHD app for kids?+
Goblinaut is being developed and validated for children and young people with ADHD and AuDHD who struggle with task initiation, routines, overwhelm, and self-regulation. Some of its support approaches may also be relevant to similar everyday difficulties, but we are not making broader validation claims yet.
How does Goblinaut help with task initiation?+
Instead of only reminding a child what needs to be done, Goblinaut can break a task into a short sequence of manageable steps and show them one at a time, so the child does not have to hold the whole task in mind at once.
Is Goblinaut a routine or chore app?+
Routines and everyday tasks are part of Goblinaut, but the product focuses on helping a child move through the moments where a task gets stuck: starting it, taking the next manageable step, or regulating enough to continue.
Does Goblinaut help with emotional regulation?+
Goblinaut includes practical tools for moments of sensory or emotional overwhelm, as well as support for communicating needs and recovering after difficult moments. It is not a therapy or medical treatment.
Does Goblinaut use AI?+
No. Goblinaut does not currently use AI as a child-facing product feature or companion.
Is Goblinaut a therapy app?+
No. Goblinaut is an everyday digital support tool. It does not diagnose or treat ADHD, autism, or any other condition and does not replace professional support.
What age is Goblinaut for?+
Goblinaut is designed for kids and teens ages 6 to 16, especially young people who respond well to playful missions and visual support.
What makes Goblinaut different from a chore or reward app?+
Goblinaut focuses on getting unstuck: breaking overwhelming tasks into manageable steps, supporting regulation and communication when needed, and helping the child continue without shame or pressure.
