Individual guide

Self-management tools, free tier, and resources for your own ADHD brain.

About 6 min read

This guide is for individuals using SimplyADHD for self-management — your own brain, your own systems.

Set your view to "For me"

SimplyADHD adapts labels across the app based on how you use it. For personal use:

  1. Open Account.
  2. Under Default view, choose For me (consumer).
  3. The dashboard will say profiles instead of children or participants.

You can switch views anytime; it only changes wording, not your data.

Your free plan

New accounts include:

  • One profile (yourself).
  • One free resource — a full personalised PDF with a light preview watermark so you can see the quality before paying.

After your free resource, purchase a single resource ($4.99) or subscribe to Family if you also support children.

Build your profile honestly

The intake wizard works best when you're specific:

  • Struggles — pick what actually derails you (not what you think you should work on).
  • Daily context — mention your job, household, or routines. The AI uses this in every section.
  • One thing you want help with — a single concrete goal (e.g. "Stop losing the first two hours of my morning") anchors the kit.

You can edit your profile later from the profile page (Edit profile).

Which resources to start with

Good first picks for self-management:

ResourceBest for
Full support kitA complete 5-part printable set tailored to you
Routine cardsPocket-sized steps for daily habits
How to support me letterShare with partner, manager, or friends
Illustrated postersWall or fridge reminders (Calm Corner, Visual Routine Strip, etc.)

Browse all types from your profile page under Printables.

Download and use your PDFs

  1. Open the resource from your profile or dashboard.
  2. Click Download PDF.
  3. Print at home or save to your phone.

Re-download: All resources stay on your dashboard — you never lose access after generation.

Re-generate: If something isn't quite right, generate again (uses a resource credit on paid plans). In-app editing is coming soon.

Upgrade when you're ready

  • Single resource — one watermark-free PDF, no subscription.
  • Family — if you later add child profiles (up to 3) and 10 resources per month.

Manage billing from Account → Subscription.

Privacy

Your intake answers and generated content are stored securely. You can delete individual resources or your entire account from the app. We do not use your data to train AI models. See Privacy Policy.
