Hey PH! Marie here, founder of Llama Life, an app to help people with ADHD get through daily tasks and routines. It's been a few years since our last PH launch, and a lot has changed! I went from being a solo founder, to now being a small team of 3! And Llama Life, which used to be web only, is now available on iOS, Android and...drum roll...we just launched DARK MODE! (we held off for soooo long 😝) To celebrate, we're offering the PH community a 25% discount for the next 48hrs! Use code PHLLAMA25 (available when purchasing directly on www.llamalife.co) The story behind Llama Life is a personal one... As someone who got diagnosed with ADHD later in life, I've always been searching for that elusive productivity tool, the one that works exactly how my brain works. I couldn't quite find one, so about 4yrs ago I decided to teach myself how to code, so I could make one. Llama Life is designed to help you focus on ONE thing at a time (no multi-tasking!), and to provide just a liiitle more structure (but not too much) to get things done. It let’s you set a countdown timer on *every* task ⏰. This concept is called ‘timeboxing’, and the idea is to create a (positive) constraint around the time we have available to do something. The goal is to try and give a task 100% of our attention, until the timer runs out. This helps to increase focus, and gives us the mental space to think about ONE thing at a time. Llama Life also let’s you know your total List Time, and the estimated finishing time, so you can be more aware of time passing, and plan your day. It also has AI built in to automatically help break down big scary tasks into smaller ones. We also love celebrating the wins, big or small, so very importantly, you get confetti (woo hoo!) when you finish a task 🎉 You can also personalize with color and emoji to get lots of variety and keep things fresh! 🌈 Llama Life offers a 7-day free trial, with a Monthly or Annual subscription which covers access on ALL platforms. And remember to use PHLLAMA25 when checking out! (available when purchasing directly on www.llamalife.co) Thanks for checking Llama Life out, and if you have any feedback, please let me know. We're always looking to improve. Marie

I don’t know what I would do without Llama Life! Been using and paying for it for years. For those times when I’m feeling overwhelmed with important but not urgent tasks and I don’t know where to start so I just keep putting them off….Llama Life unblocks me and gets me going. Marie and Nhi are also so dedicated to the product and their community of users, it’s just a great product and team all around. Try it if you haven’t yet.

Hey Marie! Llama life is truly an amazing tool, not only cause it solves a real problem but also (and even more) cause it pays attention in people with ADHD and they must be more than grateful for this. Wish you all the best here! Congrats
Gert Pellens
So there is a free trial, and from then on it's only paying? Or is there a free forever option?
Marie Ng
@gpellens Hi Gert! there's a 7 day free trial, after that it's a paid product.
Marie Ng
@gpellens ah I maybe see where the confusion might be. PH has marked it 'Free options'. That's been automatically categorized. We selected 'Free trial with Paid plan' when listing it. Maybe something @producthunt can look into.

💎 Pixel perfection
I'm a longtime user of Llama Life on my Mac and sooooo happy that it's now syncs with my mobile as a native app so I can use it anywhere! Llama is hands down my most essential tool for being productive. I actually can remember my life pre-Llama Life and after discovering it and it's like night and day. I used to really struggle with procrastination and task overwhelm. Now I know I just need to open up Llama Life and it helps me narrow down my tasks and focus on just one at a time - and I now get things done reliably! 👊 I've used pomodoro timers in the past and they never fully worked with me. Llama Life is different, the pie timer works with my brain so much better and the whole interface with the colours and emoji is just fun. I look forward to using it, instead of avoiding tasks.
Marie Ng
@cathyraffaele oh wow. Thank you for this thoughtful review Cathy!! made my day. So glad it helps, and yes I think it's different to pomodoro too - thanks for mentioning that - just the fact I can't do 25 min.. 3-5 min is more my style haha
Michael Tigas
Super awesome app for focusing! Good luck with the launch! 🔥
Marie Ng
@teeeeeegz thanks Michael! (great PH user name btw haha)

This is amazing, Marie! Llama Life sounds like a perfect solution for anyone looking to enhance their focus and manage daily tasks more effectively. The timeboxing feature with countdown timers is a brilliant way to ensure you give each task your full attention without feeling overwhelmed. I especially appreciate the AI-driven task breakdowns—it makes tackling larger projects so much more manageable. The confetti celebrations are such a fun and motivating addition, keeping the experience positive and rewarding. Personalizing with colors and emojis is a great touch to keep things engaging and tailored to individual preferences. Excited to try out the multi-platform support and see how Llama Life can help streamline my routines and boost productivity. Great job on building something so thoughtful and impactful!

Launching soon!
This is a great app for my little ADHD mind. I often find myself hyperfocused on work and forgetting to do all the important tasks. It would be great if it could pick those tasks up automatically and schedule them via voice command.
Marie Ng
@othman_kabbaj so glad to hear! thanks for the feedback Othman, will consider.
Mike
Llama life is short for "ADHD solution you never knew you needed so much and now can't live without" Just sayin
Marie Ng
@michal_kankowski Mike hahah! thank you!
Damon Chen

Tymek Zapała
You know what? I have a feeling that it might be useful not only for people with ADHD, but for everyone!
Marie Ng
@tymzap oh definitely! I think anyone who wants to increase their focus and be more conscious of how they're using their time
Amit Arora
can't wait to share, how useful Lama has been in life. Very focused and simple design. :)
Marie Ng
@amit_arora that's so good to hear, thanks Amit.
William Jin
This app could help me stay focused. How do you manage time blindness in your daily routines?
Lukas Hermann
It's not wooing you with AI features, it's not constantly raising prices (Marie even lowered them at one point), it has the best mascot. Llama Life just wants users to have a blissful experience managing their day with tasks. 💯
Marie Ng
@_lhermann aww thanks Lukas. We try 🦙🦙🦙
Hieu
Congrats on launching on iOS and Android, Marie 💪
Marie Ng
@hieussr1 thanks Hieu!
Hua Shu
Huge congrats on launching the dark mode!! : ) what did you learn from building this new feature?
Marie Ng
@huashu Cheers Hua. With dark mode specifically, better to plan for it in the beginning. Luckily we had somewhat. But still was a lot of tweaks to get over the line. Need to consider how to handle it alongside light mode, across 3 different platforms, as well as how minimize database writes when people change between them.
Nate Desmond
It's refreshing to see an app so meticulously designed for its target audience. From the one-task-at-a-time approach to the little dopamine hits from confetti, every detail in Llama Life seems purposeful and well-executed. Bravo on this thoughtful creation!
Marie Ng
@natedesmond thank you Nate! that means a lot.
