What's on
your mind?

We'll break it into tiny, gentle steps for you.

That paralyzing moment
before you even start.
The Blank Stare
You know you need to do it. You open a new tab. You close it. You stare at the ceiling. The task feels like a wall.
The Overwhelm Spiral
You try to plan. The plan needs a plan. Suddenly 'send one email' has twelve prerequisites and you've lost two hours.
The Shame Freeze
You know what you should do. You just can't make yourself start. And then you feel bad about not starting. And then it's worse.
Your AI co-pilot for
getting unstuck.
Three screens. One simple idea.
You tell us the scary thing — we make it tiny.

Instant AI Breakdown
Groq's Llama 3.3 processes your task in under a second. No waiting. No loading spinners. Just steps, instantly.
Words That Don't Judge
Every step is written to be encouraging. The AI uses language calibrated for anxiety, burnout, and executive dysfunction. No 'just do it' energy.
Gentle Progress Tracking
See how far you've come, not how far you have to go. Progress bars are designed to celebrate tiny wins, not remind you of the gap.
Calming Visual Design
No harsh whites or aggressive reds. A warm charcoal palette, generous spacing, and rounded everything — designed to lower your cortisol, not spike it.
Tasks That Stick Around
Your broken-down tasks are saved so you can come back anytime. Pick up exactly where you left off, even after closing the app.
Energy-Aware AI
Select your energy level (Low, Medium, or High) before decomposing a task. The AI adapts its tone and step size to fit your mental bandwidth.
You don't need to be 'productive'. You just need to start.
ADHD Warriors
Your brain needs tasks chunked small enough to feel approachable. Break It Down's step-by-step breakdown was built with ADHD hyperfocus and paralysis in mind.
The Burnt Out
When you're running on empty, even small tasks feel enormous. We strip them down to their absolute minimum viable first action.
Anxiety Brains
Vague tasks create vague dread. Specific, tiny steps dissolve anxiety by replacing the unknown with the very, very known.
Executive Dysfunction
When the 'getting started' part of the brain isn't working, an external scaffold helps. That's us — your scaffold, no judgment.
Real words from real humans.
I stared at 'do laundry' for three weeks. I opened this app and had a pile of folded clothes in 40 minutes. I'm not kidding.
Maya R.
ADHD, remote worker
The steps are written so gently it's almost annoying how much it works. Like, 'just pick up one sock' — fine, AI, I'll pick up the sock.

Burnout recovery
I've tried Todoist, Notion, and twelve other apps. This is the first one that doesn't make me feel worse about myself for opening it.
Sofia K.
Anxiety & executive dysfunction
I love how each step comes with a time estimate and a 'why this matters'. It turned 'clean the kitchen' from a monster into a list of 5-minute chores. I actually did the dishes.
Lena M.
First-time founder
It reads like a really patient friend who doesn't think you're lazy. Which is… exactly what I needed.

Chronic fatigue
Gentle intelligence, not generic productivity.
Calibrated Prompting for Empathy
Break It Down doesn't use a generic productivity prompt. Every task breakdown is generated with a system-level instruction set engineered specifically for people experiencing ADHD, burnout, anxiety, or executive dysfunction.
The AI is instructed to: write at a 6th-grade reading level for clarity, never use imperative commanding language, add one micro-encouragement per step, and always present the absolute minimum viable action — not what's efficient, what's possible.
Powered by Groq's ultra-low-latency inference with Llama 3.3 70B — the steps appear almost instantly, feeling like a real-time co-pilot rather than a slow tool.
