Inspiration
People with ADHD-related planning and task-initiation friction often do not need more tasks. They need a calmer way to turn an overwhelming goal into one clear next action.
What it does
Personal OS is a working alpha for planning projects, stages, tasks, and smaller task steps. It helps users keep work visible, break a task into manageable actions, and see what to do next.
How we built it
We built a native iOS app with Swift, SwiftUI, and SQLite. Codex and GPT-5.6 accelerated implementation, testing, and iteration during OpenAI Build Week.
Challenges we ran into
The product is intentionally still half-built. We focused on a reliable local task, project, stage, and step workflow before expanding the AI-assisted features and remaining modules.
What we learned
A planning tool for ADHD-related friction needs clear hierarchy, low cognitive load, and honest product states instead of pretending unfinished automation is complete.
What's next
We will complete the remaining task-group and AI-assisted planning flows, improve accessibility, and validate the experience with users.
