Task initiation, not task management

You don't need a fire.
You need a spark.

Kindling is the app you open in the sixty seconds before you'd otherwise give up on starting.

  • No account
  • No streaks
  • No day planning

Meet Ember. It waits with you.

For the moment when the task is already known, the phone is already in your hand, and starting still feels impossibly far away.

One calm loop

From stuck to started.

No setup ritual. No whole-day overhaul. Just enough structure for the next two minutes.

  1. 01

    Name the thing

    Type the task in whatever words arrive. It stays local, and it does not need to sound tidy.

  2. 02

    Get one foothold

    Kindling offers a small, concrete first action—offline and without waiting for AI.

  3. 03

    Stay for two minutes

    A short timer holds the step with you. Keep going, stop for now, or notice a distraction. All three count.

Deliberately narrow

What Kindling is not.

Not a planner

It will not ask you to organize the rest of today before helping with right now.

Not a streak

No missed-day warning, score, or mascot disappointment. Coming back is enough.

Not treatment

Kindling does not diagnose or treat ADHD. It is a small practical tool for beginning a task.

“The goal isn't to finish everything. It's to make starting feel possible.”

Help shape the first release

A quieter way to begin is coming.

Join for occasional build notes and an invitation to early testing. No task data, no daily noise.
