About
Technology as accommodation.
Not productivity.
MuddleMend is for adults with ADHD who want to make daily life easier by changing their systems, not themselves.
We help you set up the tech you already own — your phone, your smart home, your apps — as real accommodations. Not productivity hacks. Not another app you'll drop in a week. Actual support for how your brain works, with built-in ways to tell if it's helping.
Accessibility, not optimisation.
Productivity says
"You're capable of functioning, here's how to do more."
Accessibility says
"Your environment is creating barriers. Here's how to make things easier."
The Approach
Change the environment, not the person.
Most ADHD advice only works if your brain can keep up with it. MuddleMend starts from a different place: the problem isn't you, it's your environment.
Our guides help you set things up so the tech does the heavy lifting — right when and where you actually need it, not after.
Our approach is grounded in disability studies and assistive technology research — the idea that disability is created by barriers in the environment, not by you. When something isn't working, the answer isn't to try harder. It's to change the system around you.
Who this is for
You're not lazy. You're not broken. You're not bad at being an adult.
You're someone whose brain works differently — and the world wasn't set up with that in mind. So you spend your energy fighting the environment instead of just… living your life.
MuddleMend is for people who are tired of being told to "try harder" and want someone to say "here's the actual setting you need to change."
Whether you were diagnosed last week or twenty years ago. Whether you're a tech person or you still can't figure out Bluetooth. Whether your thing is time blindness, task initiation, sensory overload, hyperfocus, emotional dysregulation, or all of the above.
This is for you.
Who's behind this
Built from lived experience.
MuddleMend is created by an Australian learning technologist with ADHD, working at the intersection of assistive technology, instructional design, and everyday systems thinking.
Every guide, automation recipe, and recommendation comes from real-world use — tech that's been road-tested against the daily reality of living with ADHD, not just theorised about.
