Our Approach

Turn overwhelm into action

Big projects become bite-sized. Vague ideas become actionable. Outlier is there with you, every step of the way.

Understand your brain better

Weekly personalized lessons and check-ins. Outlier helps you identify what's helping, what's not, and what to try next. The more you use it, the more personalized it becomes.

Lean into yourself

Science-backed mindfulness and therapeutic exercises proven to reduce anxiety and depression. Track wins, recognize growth, and celebrate with friends.

Your hero's journey starts here

Outlier is inspired by narrative therapy, an approach that helps people see themselves as the main character in a story that is still unfolding. Instead of treating hard weeks as failure, Outlier reframes them as part of the journey: every story has setbacks, detours, and challenges, and the animated world mirrors that right alongside you.

People with ADHD are often mislabeled as lazy, inconsistent, or incapable, when the real issue is usually overwhelm, friction, and trying to carry too much at once. Outlier helps you step out of that story by creating a weekly gameplan focused on what matters most right now, giving you structure, clarity, and support without asking you to get to the finish line all at once.

Frequently asked questions

What is Outlier?

Outlier is a story-based ADHD coach that turns your goals into a personalized weekly plan — and unlocks an illustrated story as you make real progress.

Who is Outlier?

Outlier is your guide — a small, friendly monster who narrates your journey and helps you turn goals into weekly missions.

What are Think, Act, Grow, and Connect?

They're the four parts of the app. Think is where you journal and chat with Outlier. Act is your weekly plan of tasks, habits, and missions. Grow is guided lessons and tools. Connect is where you track your patterns and stay encouraged with friends.

How does the weekly check-in work?

You choose your own check-in day in Settings, and your window opens then, with a short grace day after — so check-ins run on your schedule, not a fixed one for everyone.

What do I need to do to meet my weekly challenge?

Just the starred items in your plan — complete every star and you meet the challenge. Everything else is optional, a bonus if you get to it. A star can cover a whole task or habit, or just one step inside it.

What happens if I miss a check-in or don't meet the challenge?

Nothing punitive — you get a shorter side-story week to regroup, and your next plan adjusts from there.

What is the "story" about?

Your real-life progress is what unlocks the story — every chapter reflects the challenges and growth of actually living with ADHD, with Outlier as your guide throughout.
