You don't have to start alone.

Fen is a desktop companion for ADHD brains. It sits with you while you work, turns a spoken brain dump into a plan, breaks big tasks into first steps, and keeps time. Gently, never nagging.

Psst. Try moving your cursor, or click Fen.

How Fen helps

Fen sits with you.

Body doubling, without the awkward video call. A calm companion on your desktop makes it easier to stay with the thing you're doing.

Fen helps you begin.

Stuck at the wall? Talk it out. Fen listens, then hands you tasks and times you can actually start.

What Fen does

A few moments from the desktop. This is how Fen actually shows up.

Talk it out, get a plan

Hit the mic and ramble. Fen listens on your device and hands you tasks and times you can edit.

Big task, small first step

Paste or say a task and Fen breaks it into small steps you can actually start. The wall gets a doorway.

Start a focus session together

Pick a length or hit "help me start" for five low-stakes minutes. Fen keeps time beside you.

Gentle check-ins

Water, meds, movement, wind-down. All off by default, one at a time, easy to silence. Never a nag.

Your day at a glance

Today's agenda, next-event countdown, join buttons. Ends with what went well, not a scorecard of misses.

Local-first, by default.

This audience is allergic to data-harvesting productivity apps. So are we. Trust is explicit.

  • Works offline

    The core companion just runs. No account, no keys, no connection required.

  • Your notes stay put

    Tasks, notes, and audio stay on your device. Nothing about your day is sent anywhere by default.

  • Optional connections, yours to flip on

    Your own AI key or Google Calendar, enabled by you and stored encrypted locally. No dark patterns, no selling data.

Frequently asked questions

What is Fen?

A small companion that lives on your desktop and helps you start and stay on tasks. Built for ADHD brains. It body-doubles with you, turns brain dumps into plans, breaks tasks down, and keeps time. Gently.

How does a little fox actually help?

Presence lowers the wall. Having something on-screen working alongside you makes it easier to begin and to stay. Fen adds tools on top: voice brain dump, task breakdown, focus timers.

Is Fen free?

Fen will be a one-time purchase. Buy it once, it's yours. No subscription for the core app. An optional memory add-on may come later.

Does my data leave my device?

No. Fen is local-first: your tasks, notes, and voice stay on your machine. Optional connections like your own AI key or Google Calendar are yours to enable and are stored encrypted, locally.

Do I need the internet or an API key?

No. Everything core works offline. An AI key just makes brain dump and task breakdown a little smarter if you want it.

What platforms?

Mac and Windows. Mobile isn't the point. Fen lives where you work.

Will it nag me?

No. Check-ins are off by default, come one at a time, and are easy to silence. Fen ends your day with what went well, never a list of misses.

When can I get it?

Soon. Leave your email and you'll be first to know.
