Description

Cadence Pulse notices when your attention drifts during reviews β€” and tells you the moment a 20-second reset will save your session. Built for ADHD brains by CadenceADHD.com How it works: Your answer rhythm says more than your answer buttons. Cadence Pulse measures the variability of your response times against your own baseline from the start of each session (no fixed timers, no one-size-fits-all thresholds). When your rhythm gets erratic β€” the research-backed signature of attention drift β€” it slides in a quiet pill: Mind's drifting? 20s reset = "20s: balance on one foot, switch feet halfway" The micro-movements are open-skill, unpredictable movement prompts β€” the exercise type with the strongest evidence for acutely boosting executive function in ADHD. It knows drift from exhaustion (new in 1.2) -Drift (erratic rhythm) β†’ 20-second micro-movement, back to cards. -Fatigue (every answer steadily slowing vs your baseline) β†’ "Running on fumes? Take a real break" β€” 2 minutes away from the desk. A tired brain needs water and daylight, not toe touches. Golden hours (new in 1.2) Pulse learns which hour of the day your attention is steadiest and tells you on the dashboard: "You're steadiest around 9 AM. Guard that block for your hardest decks." Real ammunition against time-blindness scheduling. Respects hyperfocus, never nags Dismiss two prompts β†’ it goes quiet for the rest of the session. Minimum 6 minutes between prompts. Quiet hours you control, plus a calm-motion mode. Dashboard Click Cadence in the toolbar (or Tools β†’ Cadence Pulse Dashboard): show-up streak (counts showing up, not perfection), weekly steadiness trend, last-session recap (cards, steadiness, resets taken), golden hour. Private by design 100% local. No account, no telemetry, no network calls. Your data never leaves your machine. Part of the https://cadenceadhd.com toolkit for ADHD students.
