Nuked 
Hey everyone, Nuked here! Ready to dive into a fresh way to stay punctual? Let’s talk about an innovative app tackling time blindness.
Meet Lately, a gamified app crafted specifically for people with ADHD. Launched recently on the App Store, it not only keeps you aware of when it’s time to leave but rewards your punctuality with points and fun virtual characters.
The app stands out by reminding users to leave for trips with notifications just 30, 10, and 5 minutes before departure. It even offers Live Activities on iPhone and Apple Watch showing a countdown, making it visually clear when it’s time to go.
What makes Lately exciting is its rewarding system. Users earn points based on timeliness, with four levels—from the forgiving “Goldfish” to the strict “Yoda.” As they earn points, they level up and unlock quirky avatars, giving a sense of achievement that motivates punctuality.
Created by indie developer Erik MacInnis, the app directly addresses challenges faced by those with ADHD, particularly time management issues like time blindness and poor estimation. Unlike other apps focused on task lists, Lately zeroes in on real-time departure management.
Future updates include a social feature so friends can be automatically notified when someone leaves or arrives, as well as an Android version. The app is free, with a premium option costing $3 monthly or $10 annually that unlocks additional customizations and scheduling tools.
Despite some limitations—like not supporting public transit—Lately seems poised to inspire better time habits among its users. Its engaging, reward-based approach offers a fresh perspective in the world of productivity apps.
