Designed for ADHD. Works for everyone.

You have the ideas. Starting isn't the problem. Keeping it going is.

Most people with ADHD who try to start a business don't fail because they lack ambition. They fail because the process has specific breaking points that nobody warned them about.

Loops is a daily coaching app for people with ADHD. It keeps your business moving one day at a time, and gives you one person who gets to see you keep going.

Free for 7 days. No complicated setup. On iOS for now.

How Loops helps

A daily structure for the parts of running a business that ADHD makes genuinely difficult.

The early stages of a business can feel natural for an ADHD brain. New problems, autonomy, fast decisions. But most businesses fail or stall in the slower, more repetitive phases: the follow-up emails, the admin, the weeks when nothing feels urgent and nothing gets done.

Loops gives you clear daily actions to keep the business moving. It helps you stay in planned mode instead of constantly reacting to whatever feels most urgent right now.

Then it adds the part most apps leave out. One person who sees you doing it. More on that just below.

); /* ---------------- Recognition (6 cards) ---------------- */ const BIZ_RECOGNITION = [ "You have more ideas than you know what to do with. The problem is getting any single one past the research phase.", "The early stage feels energising. Then the novelty fades and you're left with tasks that feel impossible to start.", "Invoicing, bookkeeping, follow-up emails. You know they matter. You still can't seem to make yourself do them consistently.", "You end the week feeling like you were busy the whole time, but the important things still didn't get done.", "You've had to quietly abandon something you told people about. That part stays with you.", "You wonder if the problem is you, even though you can see how capable you are in other areas.", ]; const BizRecognition = () => (
Does any of this sound familiar?

You're not the only one who keeps hitting the same walls.

These are the patterns that come up again and again for people with ADHD who are trying to build something. If you recognise yourself here, you're in the right place.

{BIZ_RECOGNITION.map((t, i) => (

{t}

))}

These aren't signs that you can't do this. They are predictable patterns when an ADHD brain meets the specific demands of running a business.

); /* ---------------- Why it keeps happening (5 breakdown stages) ---------------- */ const BIZ_PATTERNS = [ { title: "The idea spiral", body: "The pull of ideas rarely stops at one. Many founders with ADHD spend months researching and planning without ever speaking to a single potential customer.", }, { title: "Reactive execution", body: "A lot of motion, but not much that compounds. The day starts with good intentions, gets pulled by whatever feels most urgent, and ends with the important work untouched.", }, { title: "Admin paralysis", body: "Invoicing, bookkeeping, tax. Repetitive, delayed in reward, and often emotionally loaded. The specific tasks that cause shutdown vary, but the pattern is consistent: the business keeps going until the admin catches up with it.", }, { title: "Shame and avoidance", body: "Abandoning a project can feel like relief. It's better understood as emotional self-protection. When tasks pile up and shame builds, starting something new is a genuine coping response, not a character flaw.", }, { title: "Burnout disguised as drive", body: "Long hours and sporadic heroics can look like momentum from the outside. But a business that runs on crisis energy has no resilience when the founder hits a difficult week.", }, ]; const BizWhyItHappens = () => (
Understanding the pattern

ADHD makes the beginning of a business easier and the middle of one much harder.

ADHD traits are genuinely associated with entrepreneurial drive, risk-taking, and getting started. But the same traits, particularly inattention, are linked to worse outcomes after launch. The traits that help you begin can work against you once the business needs to sustain itself.

    {BIZ_PATTERNS.map((p, i) => (
  1. {String(i + 1).padStart(2, "0")}

    {p.title}

    {p.body}

    2. ))}

None of this is fixed. Every one of these stages is something that structure, coaching, and the right daily system can make significantly more manageable.

); /* ---------------- Honest acknowledgement (unique to this page) ---------------- */ const BizHonest = () => (
Something worth saying clearly

ADHD isn't a business superpower. But it's not a sentence either.

There's a version of this conversation that leads with ADHD strengths: creativity, risk tolerance, speed of thought. Those things are real. Many founders with ADHD do describe genuine advantages in the early stages.

But research shows clearly that inattention is linked to worse business outcomes after launch. The same traits that help you start can work against sustaining. Telling someone ADHD is an entrepreneurial advantage without naming where it creates friction sets them up for the exact cycle this page describes.

Loops isn't built on the superpower story. It's built on a more useful one: ADHD creates specific, predictable friction points. Those points can be designed around.

The part most apps miss

Brains finish for people, not for apps.

The early days of a business carry you. The slow middle doesn't. When nothing feels urgent and nobody is waiting on you, that's exactly when things quietly stop.

So Loops adds the one thing that reliably keeps ADHD brains going. Another person.

You choose one person you trust. Your partner, a friend, a fellow founder, whoever it is. When you close a loop, they see it. When you hit a milestone, they see it. You decide what they can see, and you can change it any time.

This is the step most people skip with other apps. It's also the one that makes Loops work.

Not a project plan. Not a priority list. Just the next right thing. Close the loop, and your person sees it." }, { t: "Get coaching when you hit a wall", b: "Avoiding an invoice? Stuck in idea spiral again? Can't face the thing you've been putting off for two weeks? Loops provides practical, personalised coaching to help you move through it rather than around it." }, { t: "Keep going through the slow parts", b: "Loops stays with you through the weeks when nothing feels urgent and motivation is low.

When you close a loop or hit a milestone, they see it. They don't manage you or nag you. They just get to watch you keep going. You don't have to add one to start, but it's the part that makes Loops work, so we'll gently encourage it when you're ready. On a Crew plan it can be more than one: your people." }, { q: "Why do people with ADHD struggle to sustain a business?", a: "Research shows that ADHD traits can help with entrepreneurial entry: the drive, risk tolerance, and novelty-seeking that get a business started. But inattention, in particular, is linked to worse outcomes after launch. The slow, repetitive, ambiguous work of sustaining a business is precisely the kind of work ADHD makes most difficult." }, { q: "Is ADHD an advantage for entrepreneurs?", a: "Partly. Hyperactivity and impulsivity are linked to entrepreneurial drive and willingness to start. But inattention is linked to worse post-launch outcomes. ADHD may help you begin, and creates real friction in the execution, follow-through, and admin that determines whether the business survives." }, { q: "How does Loops help with running a business when you have ADHD?", a: "Loops breaks the work of running a business into one daily action, so you always know what to do next without having to organise the whole picture from scratch each day. It provides coaching when specific parts of the process feel stuck, and it stays with you through the slow periods where most businesses quietly stop." }, { q: "Do I need an ADHD diagnosis to use Loops?", a: "No. Loops is designed first for people with ADHD but doesn't require a formal diagnosis. If the patterns described on this page feel familiar, Loops is built for you." }, { q: "What if I keep abandoning ideas before they're finished?", a: "That pattern is very common in ADHD and is usually better understood as emotional self-protection than lack of commitment. When shame builds and tasks feel impossible, switching to something new provides genuine relief. Loops helps by reducing the build-up that leads to that point, and by providing coaching when avoidance starts, not after it's already taken over." }, { q: "Is Loops available in the UK?", a: "Yes.

The goal isn't a perfect business. It's one that's still going.

Most businesses with ADHD don't fail because the idea was wrong. They fail because there was no system to carry them through the slow, unglamorous, repetitive parts. That's what Loops is for, and it helps to have one person there while you do it.
