Three ADHD tech tips, more tactical than some of the strategic ones others have mentioned:

- To combat time blindness and hyperfocus, create daily-ish alarms on your phone's builtin clock for things you otherwise forget until it's too late. (If your mind is better at being reactive than proactive and time-aware, create a systematic practice of creating interrupts/redirects for your future self in advance. Create them moment you learn about them.)

- To combat compulsive phone numbing/scrolling/distraction, the (android) Intenty app can prompt you right after unlocking with a custom Q&A about why you are unlocking. I find that it has promoted awareness of my mental state in the moment, has over time generated reflection and an awareness of what my persistent triggers are, and enabled me to catch myself and stop the habitual numbing a helpful percentage of the time.

- When I unlock my phone it brings me back to where I left off. That tends to send me down old rabbit trails. I found apps like AutomateIT that let me return to my home screen each unlock.
