Dam

It rings until you've done the thing.

Dam is a daily checklist with an alarm that comes back every few minutes, until you open the app and confirm the task. Built for ADHD brains, and for anyone who swipes a reminder away and forgets it.

Coming soon to the App Store For iPhone. Free for 7 days.

Take your medication

Ringing. Try pressing Stop.

A demo. Here, five minutes takes three seconds.

For brains that say “in a minute” and mean never.

Ordinary reminders are easy to swipe away, and then the task is gone. Dam is for people who need the reminder to come back.

Set it up once. Then it nags for you.

  1. List your non-negotiables

    Make a checklist template for the things that must happen: a morning routine, medication, gym days. Three starter templates are included.

  2. Pin them to your week

    Attach each template to the days it belongs on. Dam opens on today's list, the scheduler shows any day by the hour, and you can add one-off items to any day.

  3. Let Dam chase you

    Give an item a nagging alarm. It rings, waits a few minutes, and rings again, until you confirm it in the app.

You decide how hard it pushes.

Every item has its own settings. Go easy on “drink water” and strict on “take medication”.

How you prove it's done

  • TapPress “Yes, done”.
  • PhotoTake a picture in the app.
  • Typed phraseType a sentence such as “I took my meds”.
  • PuzzleSolve a quick sum first.

How strict it is

  • GentleSnooze as often as you like, and skip freely.
  • FirmThree snoozes. Skipping needs a typed reason.
  • StrictNo snooze and no skip. Do it or miss it.

Finish tasks. Raise a tiny human.

Every task you complete on time earns points, and your character grows up a little. It starts as a newborn and takes a couple of months of steady days to become a grown-up.

  3. Toddler
  4. Child
  5. Grown-up

Three personalities change the wording and the colors. Pick the alarm sound separately, from twelve, and finish it with your own accent color.

Questions

Does the alarm ring when my phone is on silent?

On iOS 26 or later, yes. Dam uses Apple's alarm system, which rings through silent mode and Focus. On iOS 18, Dam sends repeated notifications instead, and silent mode can mute those.

Can I ever make it stop?

Yes. Confirming the task in the app cancels the rest of the rings. There is also “Pause everything” in Settings for days when you need quiet, and each alarm gives up after the number of rings you choose. Dam is persistent, but you stay in charge of it.

Is Dam a medical app?

No. Dam is a planner and reminder tool. It does not diagnose, treat or manage ADHD or any other condition, and its medication reminders are reminders only. For medical questions, talk to a doctor.

Can my child use it?

Dam is designed for adults and students. A parent can set it up on a child's iPhone and build the routines with them.

Which iPhones does it work on?

Any iPhone running iOS 18 or later. Alarms that ring through silent mode need iOS 26 or later.

Is there an Android version?

Not yet. Dam is iPhone only for now.

Is there a free version?

There is a free week. Every new install gets all of Dam for 7 days, with no card and no sign-up. After that, a Dam Pro plan is needed to keep using it. Nothing you set up is lost in between: your routines, history and character are all waiting when you subscribe.

What happens when the free week ends?

Dam shows the plans and waits. Alarms stop ringing, because nothing could be confirmed, and start again the moment a plan is active. Nothing is charged automatically: the trial is run by the app, not by a subscription, so there is nothing to cancel if you decide Dam isn't for you.

How do I cancel Pro or get a refund?

Subscriptions are billed by Apple. You can cancel in your iPhone's Settings under your name, then Subscriptions. Refunds are handled by Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. If you get stuck, contact me.

Go do the thing.
