What makes a to-do list app actually work for ADHD

Most "best ADHD app" lists recommend tools that are really just regular to-do apps with a different color scheme. The real problem isn't the interface, it's the setup cost. Every category, label, priority flag, and project structure you have to build before you can start using it is a task in itself, and for ADHD brains, that setup tax is often where the whole system falls apart.

A to-do list app that actually works for ADHD needs to do three things: accept input in whatever messy state it's in, do the organizing work for you instead of asking you to do it upfront, and tell you the next single action instead of handing you a full list to re-decide every time you open it.
