THE HONEST LIST
Most products start with what they offer. We start with what we won't fake. The lies we won't tell you, in order. If you read this list and the product still sounds useful — that's the relationship we want.
DESKRUNE
For when you come back.
The ADHD productivity market is full of products that promise to "fix your focus," "rewire your brain in 30 days," or "unlock the genius beneath the chaos." Those products work for the version of you that can already start. They were never built for the version that quit on day 8.
We're not trying to fix anything. We're trying to make the climb back from a fall less expensive. That's a smaller claim. It's also a true one.
This doesn't process trauma or manage medication. If you're in crisis, contact a professional or a crisis line. We just help you get back to the task you left.
A coach helps you set goals and build strategies. We don't replace that work. The kits assume you already have a goal — we just keep you from losing it during the gap.
We don't diagnose, treat, or recommend interventions for ADHD. We assume you're already navigating that system, with whatever provider relationship works for you.
There is no cure here. The point is managing the daily debris of a neurodivergent mind, not making it neurotypical. The mind that wrote this is the mind we're building for.
The protocols take seconds to use. The pattern they break has been running for years. We don't promise it stops the first time you try a Re-Entry Card. We promise it stops sooner than it would have without one.
We don't believe in "just focus" or "try a planner." Every kit was built specifically for the cognitive pattern of starting, scattering, and trying to re-enter — what we call AFM-3 · Re-Entry Collapse.
No Discord. No comments. No notification spam. The newsletter is one-way. If something we write lands, you forward it to one ADHD adult who needs it. That's the community.
We don't check in on you. The support is the kit and the Re-Entry Card you wrote on the way out. It's a one-sided promise. That's the design — we trust you to hold up your end.
The kits are owned by the person who reads them. No team licenses. No HR-tier rollout. If your manager wants you to "use Deskrune," they're allowed to read the manager page — but the kit is yours.
Every kit is researched, audited against current studies, and stamped with the month it was last verified. If a study we cite is retracted, we update or kill the kit. /changes/ shows the receipts.
Other people's products work fine. We don't begrudge them. But we won't build these:
Streak-based productivity for the brain that breaks streaks. We'd be selling shame.
The notification overhead would itself become a failure mode. AFM-8 · Dependency Calcification.
Every existing planner ships one. We don't have a template for the kind of morning where you woke up at 11.
That's coaching with a paywall. We don't pretend to be in the room with you.
We won't build a kit you have to set up before you can use it. The Re-Entry Card is four lines on paper for a reason.
Faceless brand. The work is the artifact. Who wrote it doesn't change whether the protocol works.
Deskrune is a single, stubborn refusal: that the cost of falling off has to be the total loss of the work.
It's the four-line note you wrote to yourself before the gap. It's the protocol that takes 90 seconds to run when you come back. It's the named taxonomy that lets you call the loop by its real name instead of "I'm just being lazy."
That's it. That's the whole product. Anything else we add later has to pass through that filter.
For when you come back.
Deskrune. For when you come back.
