Hey PH! Marie here, founder of Llama Life, an app to help people with ADHD get through daily tasks and routines. It's been a few years since our last PH launch, and a lot has changed! I went from being a solo founder, to now being a small team of 3! And Llama Life, which used to be web only, is now available on iOS, Android and...drum roll...we just launched DARK MODE! (we held off for soooo long 😝) To celebrate, we're offering the PH community a 25% discount for the next 48hrs! Use code PHLLAMA25 (available when purchasing directly on www.llamalife.co) The story behind Llama Life is a personal one... As someone who got diagnosed with ADHD later in life, I've always been searching for that elusive productivity tool, the one that works exactly how my brain works. I couldn't quite find one, so about 4yrs ago I decided to teach myself how to code, so I could make one. Llama Life is designed to help you focus on ONE thing at a time (no multi-tasking!), and to provide just a liiitle more structure (but not too much) to get things done. It let’s you set a countdown timer on *every* task ⏰. This concept is called ‘timeboxing’, and the idea is to create a (positive) constraint around the time we have available to do something. The goal is to try and give a task 100% of our attention, until the timer runs out. This helps to increase focus, and gives us the mental space to think about ONE thing at a time. Llama Life also let’s you know your total List Time, and the estimated finishing time, so you can be more aware of time passing, and plan your day. It also has AI built in to automatically help break down big scary tasks into smaller ones. We also love celebrating the wins, big or small, so very importantly, you get confetti (woo hoo!) when you finish a task 🎉 You can also personalize with color and emoji to get lots of variety and keep things fresh! 🌈 Llama Life offers a 7-day free trial, with a Monthly or Annual subscription which covers access on ALL platforms. And remember to use PHLLAMA25 when checking out! (available when purchasing directly on www.llamalife.co) Thanks for checking Llama Life out, and if you have any feedback, please let me know. We're always looking to improve. Marie

@mnewme thank you Matthias, yes a lot of blood sweat and tears has gone into it. Super proud of what our little team achieved.

Great to see Llama Life expanding to more platforms and loving the dark mode addition. Perfect for late-night productivity sessions!
Marie Ng
@scar_qin thanks Scar! so glad you like dark mode! 😎 We waited as long as we could before going to the dark side, but there were so many requests for it, thought it was about time!
Dmytro Krasun
It seems you are featured? 💪
Marie Ng
@dmytro_krasun ooh! seems like it. That's a relief.

It's not wooing you with AI features, it's not constantly raising prices (Marie even lowered them at one point), it has the best mascot. Llama Life just wants users to have a blissful experience managing their day with tasks. 💯
Marie Ng
@_lhermann aww thanks Lukas. We try 🦙🦙🦙
Hans Henrik Appel
I think I've been along (almost) since the beginning and LLamalife just keeps getting better. This is the only task manager I really enjoy using 😍
Marie Ng

I'm a longtime user of Llama Life on my Mac and sooooo happy that it's now syncs with my mobile as a native app so I can use it anywhere! Llama is hands down my most essential tool for being productive. I actually can remember my life pre-Llama Life and after discovering it and it's like night and day. I used to really struggle with procrastination and task overwhelm. Now I know I just need to open up Llama Life and it helps me narrow down my tasks and focus on just one at a time - and I now get things done reliably! 👊 I've used pomodoro timers in the past and they never fully worked with me. Llama Life is different, the pie timer works with my brain so much better and the whole interface with the colours and emoji is just fun. I look forward to using it, instead of avoiding tasks.
Marie Ng
@cathyraffaele oh wow. Thank you for this thoughtful review Cathy!! made my day. So glad it helps, and yes I think it's different to pomodoro too - thanks for mentioning that - just the fact I can't do 25 min.. 3-5 min is more my style haha

Llama life is short for "ADHD solution you never knew you needed so much and now can't live without" Just sayin
Marie Ng
@michal_kankowski Mike hahah! thank you!
Alex Dulub
Hi Marie! Llama Life sounds like such a thoughtful tool, especially with features like timeboxing and task breakdown. It's impressive how you've grown from solo to a team of three. The addition of dark mode must be a big hit! How has the transition from web to mobile impacted user engagement?
Marie Ng
@web3_antivirus thanks Alex, adding mobile to web has been great for our users as many use Llama Life when they're away from the desk, especially for routines in the morning and night.
Pooja Jayasri
Really love the concept of timeboxing. I constantly lose track of time and have been trying to timebox on my own for a while now (unsuccessfully :")). Excited to try out your app. Good luck!
Marie Ng
@pooja_jayasri thanks Pooja! let me know how it goes! feedback always welcome, always looking to improve!
Nate Desmond
It's refreshing to see an app so meticulously designed for its target audience. From the one-task-at-a-time approach to the little dopamine hits from confetti, every detail in Llama Life seems purposeful and well-executed. Bravo on this thoughtful creation!
Marie Ng
@natedesmond thank you Nate! that means a lot.
William Scott
This is amazing, Marie! Llama Life sounds like a perfect solution for anyone looking to enhance their focus and manage daily tasks more effectively. The timeboxing feature with countdown timers is a brilliant way to ensure you give each task your full attention without feeling overwhelmed. I especially appreciate the AI-driven task breakdowns—it makes tackling larger projects so much more manageable. The confetti celebrations are such a fun and motivating addition, keeping the experience positive and rewarding. Personalizing with colors and emojis is a great touch to keep things engaging and tailored to individual preferences. Excited to try out the multi-platform support and see how Llama Life can help streamline my routines and boost productivity. Great job on building something so thoughtful and impactful!
Hua Shu
Huge congrats on launching the dark mode!! : ) what did you learn from building this new feature?
Marie Ng
@huashu Cheers Hua. With dark mode specifically, better to plan for it in the beginning. Luckily we had somewhat. But still was a lot of tweaks to get over the line. Need to consider how to handle it alongside light mode, across 3 different platforms, as well as how minimize database writes when people change between them.

Great and impactful product, Marie! Accessibility is often overlooked by entrepreneurs, so it’s wonderful to see an app designed with neurodivergent users in mind.
