Talisman

A tool for ADHD folks to make their environment focus friendly. (Written by a programmer with ADHD!)

Talisman features:

  • Extreme Reminders: Ever miss a meeting because Outlook reminders are so flaccid? Talisman transforms Outlook meeting alerts into hard-to-ignore notifications that literally dance around in front of your work. The alerts required a tiny bit of cognition related to the appointment title, so users can't automatically dismiss them without first getting pulled out of their focus to recognize what the meeting is about.
  • One-Click Timers: Need to make a quick timer without taking so much time that it causes you to lose focus? Talisman lets you set a quick time with a single click. You can choose a fixed length timer or a time of day.
  • Convenient stopwatch: There is a stopwatch right on the Talisman floating icon. No need to bring up a clunky app when you need to take a quick timing.
  • Hot Keys: With talisman active all the time, you can program hot keys that are difficult or impossible to do in windows. Hot key actions available are:
    • Quick email
    • Instant Lock + Screensaver
    • Snipping tool
    • Instant timer
