Software that helps
you follow through.

Biro.dev builds assistive software for everyday follow-through, for adults with ADHD and other brains that work differently.

  1. The next useful step, easier to see
  2. A pause or a changed plan, part of normal use
  3. The way back after an interruption, easier to find

WHY BIRO.DEV EXISTS

Design for
the interruption.

How can software help someone follow through without giving them more to manage?

That starts with the moment a task feels too large, attention shifts, or a responsibility slips out of view. Reliability means making those moments understandable too.

WHAT WE’RE BUILDING

One lead product,
and a lab of ideas.

AddvancedFocus leads our work. OpenCall is also in development. The other projects are research concepts, each with an example and its limitations.

A tiny first step

Open a blank document.

Give it a working title. That’s enough for a beginning.

Try the website demo

Try example tasks without an account.

ALSO IN DEVELOPMENT

OpenCall

In development

A clearer pause before you act.

We’re building OpenCall for iOS. These examples show how clear explanations could help you check an urgent request for a code or payment.

HOW WE WORK

Software should make
room for being human.

When plans change or attention shifts, a useful tool helps you pick back up.

  1. Less to hold in your head.

    A clear action, with the context you need to take it.

  2. Room to change your mind.

    Adjust, pause, or undo. Your day belongs to you.

  3. Trust you can build on.

    Clear limits, thoughtful defaults, and honest progress.

From an everyday need to a testable idea.

  1. Name one everyday situation. An avoided email, a changed plan, an interruption. Define the moment before adding a feature.
  2. Show how it works. Test what happens when plans change or mistakes need undoing.
  3. Publish limits with progress. Build for access, privacy, and choice from the start. Be clear about what isn’t done yet.

without the guilt.

A missed start or an interruption isn’t a failure. It’s the next place to begin. That idea is behind everything we build.
