Actofy Guide
Book summary app for ADHD
I have ADHD. I can't stay in a book. I can't stay in an audiobook. What do I use?
Text loses you when the paragraph is a wall. Audio loses you when the voice keeps going and there is nothing to look at. Actofy is a 15-minute cinematic video book — a scene plus a voice, with chapter skip so you can restart one idea without starting over. Headway is the short audio + visual-card habit. BookWatch is the long whiteboard. This is a format for staying with an idea. It is not a treatment for ADHD.
I can't stay in a book. I can't stay in an audiobook.
I have ADHD and I can't stay in a book or an audiobook. What do I use?
That is the search. App Store reviews. Forums. Google. You already tried the paperback. You already tried the voice in your headphones. Both dropped you.
This page is about that job: staying with an idea. Not a diagnosis. Not a therapy. A format you can finish.
Why the page and the voice drop you
A book loses you when the paragraph is a wall. Your eyes skip. You reread the same sentence. You close it.
An audiobook loses you when the voice keeps going and there is nothing to look at. You miss a beat. Rewinding is work. You put the phone down.
You already know this. You do not need a study to tell you the wall did not hold.
What people try
Headway is the short audio + visual-card habit. A few minutes. Cards you can glance at. That helps if a daily streak is what you want.
BookWatch is the long whiteboard. A drawing and a voice, typically 20 to 60 minutes. That helps if you like that sit and you can stay for it.
YouTube has clips of books. Easy to start. Easy to wander. No chapter skip for the idea you came for.
Those help. They can still lose you. Cards are still cards. A long whiteboard is still a long sit. A feed is still a feed.
