Designed for ADHD. Works for everyone.

You know the material. So why doesn't the exam show it?

It's not a knowledge problem. For many people with ADHD, the gap between understanding something and demonstrating it under exam conditions is structural. And it doesn't close with more revision.

Loops is a daily coaching app for people with ADHD. It tells you what to revise today, coaching for when the revision stalls, and, if you want it, one person who helps keep the exam real.

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

How Loops helps

A daily system for the weeks before the exam, not just the night before.

Most exam prep advice assumes you'll follow a revision timetable you built yourself. For ADHD brains, building the timetable is often the most productive thing that happens, and then nothing else does.

Loops gives you specific study actions each day, keeps the exam visible when it feels abstract, and coaches you through the moments when the revision usually stops for good. Not a plan to maintain. A prompt that shows up.

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 EXM_RECOGNITION = [ "You understood it in the lecture. You understood it when you reviewed your notes. In the exam, it wasn't there.", "You've made a revision timetable. It's very detailed. You haven't followed it.", "You sat down to study. An hour passed. You're not sure what happened.", "You know you work best under pressure. But the pressure never seems to produce the result it should.", "You have extra time in exams. You're not sure you're using it well. You might be using it to second-guess yourself.", "You've explained the topic clearly to someone else. You couldn't write it down in the exam the same way.", ]; const ExmRecognition = () => (
Does any of this sound familiar?

You're not alone in this.

These are the patterns people with ADHD describe most often when it comes to studying and sitting exams.

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

{t}

))}

None of this is about how much you care or how hard you try. ADHD creates specific barriers in exactly the conditions exams are designed around.

); /* ---------------- Why it keeps happening (5 patterns) ---------------- */ const EXM_PATTERNS = [ { title: "The starting problem", body: "Planning the revision is easier than starting it. So the planning keeps happening instead. Executive function deficits make task initiation difficult, which is why detailed revision timetables get built and not followed: building the timetable satisfies the urge to act without requiring the actual act." }, { title: "Focus during study sessions", body: "Standard long study periods don't work for ADHD brains. Neither does trying harder to concentrate. Attention wanders, restlessness builds, and the material that was clear at the beginning of a session becomes noise by the end. The problem isn't effort. It's that the study session wasn't structured for how ADHD attention actually works." }, { title: "The exam-room performance gap", body: "Extra time in exams helps with some things and not others. Impulsivity and poor self-monitoring cause errors that more time doesn't automatically fix. Research shows ADHD students often make more careless mistakes rather than working slower. Without a strategy for using exam time, extra time gets used to second-guess rather than to review." }, { title: "Working memory under pressure", body: "Understanding something in a low-pressure context doesn't guarantee recall under exam pressure. ADHD impairs working memory, which means knowledge that feels secure during revision can become inaccessible in the exam room when cognitive load is high and stress is higher." }, { title: "Emotional barriers after setbacks", body: "A difficult exam or a bad result doesn't just feel bad. It makes starting the next round of revision significantly harder. ADHD's emotional dysregulation means that academic setbacks often trigger avoidance that looks like giving up, when it's actually the shame response doing its job." }, ]; const ExmWhyItHappens = () => (
Understanding the pattern

It's not a revision problem. It's an executive function problem.

Exams test knowledge under time pressure, with no external structure, in a high-stress environment. These are exactly the conditions ADHD makes most difficult. Understanding where things break down changes what preparation looks like.

Loops is designed to support revision before all five of these failure points compound.

); /* ---------------- Unique section: the study-backwards trap ---------------- */ const ExmReframe = () => (
Something worth knowing before you open the revision notes

Most ADHD revision covers the wrong things first.

Familiar material feels rewarding to study. Difficult material feels aversive. For ADHD brains, where reward and aversion drive attention more powerfully than intention, this means revision sessions naturally drift toward what's already understood.

The result is a revision block that felt productive, covered a lot of ground, and left the actual weak areas untouched. Not because the person avoided them deliberately, but because the brain kept finding reasons to return to what felt easier. Knowing this pattern exists is the first step to designing around it.

); /* ---------------- The part most apps miss (being seen) ---------------- */ const EXM_WITNESS_CARDS = [ { t: "All they have to do is see it", b: "When you close a loop, they see it. When you get back to it after a week off, they see that too, and it's no big deal. They just get to see you keep turning up to the revision, and cheer you on." }, { t: "They don't quiz you", b: "They don't have to nag you or test you. They don't manage you, they don't even pay. Their side is light on purpose." }, { t: "You're always in control", b: "You choose who it is.

The part most apps miss

Brains finish for people, not for apps.

Revision is a lonely stretch. The exam is weeks away and abstract, nobody's checking whether you studied today, and it's easy to let a day go, then a week, until the panic arrives all at once.

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 coursemate, whoever it is. When you close a loop, they see it. When you get back to it after a week off, they see that too, and it's no big deal. You decide exactly 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.

You can start on your own if you'd rather. It still works. It just works better when someone can see you.

); /* ---------------- How it works (5 steps) ---------------- */ const EXM_STEPS = [ { t: "Tell Loops what you're preparing for", b: "Name your exam, your subject, your timeline. Plain language. No categories or complex setup. Loops works alongside whatever notes and materials you already have." }, { t: "Choose your person", b: "Pick one person you trust to see your progress. You decide what they can see, and you can change it any time. This is the step most people skip with other apps, and the one that makes Loops work. On a Crew plan you can choose more than one, which suits a study group sitting the same exam." }, { t: "Get one study action today", b: "Each day, Loops gives you one specific, low-friction revision task. Sized to be completable, targeted to move the needle, and chosen so you're not spending the study time deciding what to study. Close the loop, and your person sees it." }, { t: "Get coached through the hard days", b: "Can't face it today? Fell off for a week? Loops gives you a calm way back in that doesn't require restarting from scratch or catching up everything at once." }, { t: "Walk into the exam having actually prepared", b: "Not perfectly. Not with a pristine revision log. But with something real done on enough of the days between now and the exam." }, ]; const ExmHowItWorks = () => (
Getting started

One study action. Every day. Before the panic.

You don't need a revision timetable. You need something that tells you what to do today, specifically, right now.

It combines personalised coaching, daily micro-actions, one person who sees your progress, and accountability in one system. For exam preparation specifically, it helps with starting revision, staying consistent through the study period, and coaching through the moments when the pattern usually breaks down." }, { q: "Who is 'your person', and do I need one?", a: "Your person is the one you choose to see your progress: the loops you close and the days you turned up to the revision. They don't quiz you or nag you. They just get to see you keep turning up, and cheer you on. 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, which suits a study group." }, { q: "How does Loops help with exam preparation if you have ADHD?", a: "It removes the decision of what to study today by giving you one specific revision action each day. It also coaches you through the days when starting feels impossible, so a difficult week doesn't write off the whole study period." }, { q: "Why do people with ADHD struggle in exams even when they know the material?", a: "ADHD impairs working memory, self-monitoring, and recall under pressure. It also makes it harder to plan revision effectively and to persist through the less interesting parts of a subject. The result is often a gap between what someone genuinely understands and what they can demonstrate in an exam environment." }, { 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 experiences described here feel familiar, Loops is built for you." }, { q: "Can Loops replace a tutor or study group?", a: "No. Loops gives you daily structure and coaching. If you have access to a tutor, study group, or academic support service, those are worth using alongside it. Loops is designed to complement other support, not replace it." }, { q: "What if my exam anxiety is significant?", a: "It's worth speaking to your GP or your institution's student support service. Anxiety and ADHD often overlap, and professional support can help in ways Loops can't. Loops is designed to reduce the pressure of the study period, but it's not a treatment for anxiety." }, { q: "What if I miss several days of revision?", a: "That's built into the design. Loops doesn't treat a missed week as a reason to restart everything. The next daily action is still there, still specific, and still designed to be the easiest possible step back in." }, { q: "Is Loops available in the UK?", a: "Yes.
