Jessie is a voice‑first task catcher for adults with ADHD

A new iOS app called Jessie is taking a deliberately narrow shot at a common ADHD pain point: the exact moment when a task would normally slip through the cracks.

Instead of being a full‑blown productivity system, Jessie focuses on “catching” tasks as they appear. When something pops into your head, you either speak it immediately into the app or forward an actionable email to a private Jessie address. The app uses AI to interpret what you said or sent, turns it into a task suggestion, and then asks you to confirm whether it should stay on your list.

From there, Jessie builds a realistic daily plan by blending your priorities, calendar load and self‑reported energy levels, rather than encouraging you to overbook yourself. The goal is less about creating the perfect long‑term project board and more about protecting the fragile hand‑off between intention and follow‑through.

Right now Jessie is available as an invite‑only TestFlight beta for iPhone, with English and German language support, and the founders are explicitly recruiting adults with ADHD to use it for two to three weeks and give blunt feedback. If the team can keep the experience lightweight while still smart, Jessie could become an interesting alternative to traditional, structure‑heavy to‑do apps.
