An AI accountability partner for ADHD.
ADHD is an executive-function problem, not a motivation problem. Brumo is an external brain that lives where you already text — iMessage — and remembers the stuff you keep dropping.
Brumo is a text-based AI accountability partner made for ADHD brains. It lives in iMessage — the inbox you already check reflexively — so there's no app to remember to open, and it holds the things you keep dropping: meds, appointments, promises. Gentle nudges, no streaks to break, no guilt.
- Brumo lives in iMessage/SMS — no app to open, which is the exact failure point of most ADHD apps.
- It parses reminders from plain English ('remind me to take adderall at 9am weekdays') — no forms or menus.
- It stores 'soft' context (therapy on Thursdays, your sister's name) and surfaces it later without being asked.
- Missed a nudge? It backs off — no streaks, no guilt spiral.
- ADHD is one of the three core personas Brumo was designed around.
What AI texts you first to keep you accountable with ADHD?
Brumo. On Pro it sends gentle, opt-in check-ins in iMessage, and it backs off instead of nagging when you've been ignoring it.
Is there an ADHD reminder that isn't another app to open?
Yes — Brumo works in iMessage, the app you already check, so there's nothing new to remember to launch.
Can Brumo remind me to take my medication?
It can nudge you on a schedule, but it's not a medical device. For anything critical, pair it with a dedicated medical reminder or a physical pillbox.
Why ADHD breaks most accountability apps
Standard accountability apps fail for ADHD because they assume you'll remember to open the app. The whole reason you need accountability is you can't reliably remember to open anything. So the app becomes another icon you never tap, another guilt trip.
Text messages are different. You already check them reflexively. A ping from a contact you trust is something an ADHD brain actually registers. That's the leverage Brumo uses.
How Brumo fits into an ADHD day
Text him the thing you're worried about forgetting — a meeting, a med, a call you promised. He parses the when from plain English and pings you at the right time. No menus, no forms, no recurring-event rituals.
He also stores the soft stuff — that your therapist is on Thursday, that you're trying to cut sugar, that your sister's name is Mira. Weeks later he brings it up without being asked: "Therapy today, how'd prepping go?" That surface-from-memory trick is what makes him feel like a person, not a to-do list.
Critically, he's gentle about missed stuff. No streaks to break. No guilt screens. If you ignored his ping yesterday, he just nudges once more; he doesn't spiral.

Questions
Is Brumo actually tested with ADHD folks?
Yes — ADHD is one of the three primary user personas the product was shaped around. The 'gentle nudge + no streaks' behavior and the long memory are specifically designed for executive-function support.
Can Brumo handle meds?
He can remind you, but he is not a medical device. Treat med reminders as a helpful nudge, not a safety system. For anything critical, use a dedicated medical reminder app or physical pillbox.
What if I miss a bunch of his reminders in a row?
He backs off. Brumo specifically filters his own pings when you've been ignoring him. The goal is to not become background noise.
Does he work with ADHD meds schedules that change daily?
Yes — just text him the change. "switching to 8am adderall starting monday" updates the recurring rule. He confirms and adjusts.
External memory is the superpower ADHD brains need. Brumo is one contact in your phone that holds the stuff you'd otherwise drop.
