Start With Our Library — Or Clear It All
The app ships with a library of exercises and workouts that can be cleared and/or restored. Hate organizing things? Delete and start from scratch. Hate blank screens? Keep the library and build upon it.
Building an App that is friendly to ADHD requires very different design choices. We built this app starting with those in mind. No notifications, control over your data and how it's organized, and tools to capture sudden motivation. All meant to help you stay as consistent as poss..ooo squirrel.
Forgetting routine is normal — let's work with it
Common ADHD issues like forgetting daily routines, disorganization, getting easily distracted, and impulsivity can make consistent workouts feel impossible. Rather than expecting you to beat those obstacles with sheer willpower, Make Me Workout is built to work around them:
| ADHD challenge | How Make Me Workout helps |
|---|---|
| Forgetting daily routines | No streak pressure and friendly home/lock screen widgets to act as reminders. |
| Disorganization | Keep the pre-loaded library or delete it, and organize your own favorites with tags. Nothing is forced on you. |
| Easily distracted | No notifications. Your attention is your own. Widgets remind you naturally when using your phone. |
| Impulsivity | Capture motivation the moment it strikes and keep it ready for when it fades. |
To understand some of the ADHD challenges this app is designed around, this article on the three types of ADHD and their symptoms from Berkeley Psychiatrists is a helpful starting point.
Designing an app to be ADHD-friendly requires very intentional effort.
Make Me Workout is a workout app that was designed this way from the beginning.
Built around how ADHD actually works

Don't know what you want to do today? Generate a random workout and get moving. You can set a time limit and filter it down by tag if you still want some control.
See a motivating exercise or workout while scrolling? Import it into the app instantly. Don't let that motivation get lost in your feed.
Whether an exercise lives in one workout or all of them, your progress is tracked per exercise. See yourself improve without having to keep any records straight.
Found a workout that inspired you? Made one your friends should try? Create a shareable link and send it straight to friends, family, or followers.
Simplicity first
Use our pre-loaded exercises or add your own. Add stretches, exercises, warm-ups, anything you want!
Mix and match your library to make your workouts.
Log your sets, see your progress, and keep going - whenever you feel ready.
No subscriptions. No hidden fees. One purchase, lifetime access.
Notifications are a constant source of distraction and pressure. Make Me Workout deliberately doesn't nag you - instead, optional home and lock screen widgets remind you naturally when you're already using your phone.
There's no streak to lose and no guilt. The app doesn't punish you for gaps - you just pick up where you left off whenever you're ready.
Motivation fades fast, so the app is built to capture it the moment it strikes. Import an exercise or workout you see while scrolling, and it's saved and ready for when you want to move.
Yes. You can keep the pre-loaded library as-is, or clear it and start from a blank slate. Tags are optional - nothing is forced on you, and progress is tracked per exercise so you don't have to keep records straight.
