TaskTree
Hey Product Hunt! I'm Nolan, founder of TaskTree. I launched my first product here about 14 years ago and somehow since that time I became a Lead Product Designer, educator, and build in public creator using a crazy way of making a product: comments on TikTok to crowd-source feedback. (Find me on TikTok/Instagram @radnolan)
That’s how TaskTree started through a comment asking for a couple features on this concept I made. It ultimately lead to a bustling community that drove us to over 75k users with a 98% task completion rate.
Though, I still felt like another todo list in an insanely crowded market was struggling to break through. So we’ve re-built TaskTree from the ground up and we’re just getting started. Soon, you’ll be able to collect more critters for your trees, have streaks with skill-tree-based habit tracking, and so much more.
This is a passion project for me and hope to be tinkering for years to come with this!

@radnolan @tasktreeapp Hi Nolan,
I’m Nima, co-founder of Bestofweb .site – a curated space where we highlight standout projects and the minds behind them. I really liked how TaskTree blends productivity with play, especially the idea of skill-tree-based habit tracking. It's clear you're building something personal and community-driven. We're supporting your launch and invite you to check out our directory.

The birds look very cool! What inspired that approach and why is it better for people with ADHD?
@bballinger As someone with ADHD myself, I can say that what keeps me going is constant rewarding feedback—and it has to be fun. TaskTree works well because it turns everyday tasks into something engaging, giving that little dopamine boost that helps us stay on track.

@isabel_engineer yesss I'm so glad you see value here! We've tried to avoid pitfalls of stress/anxiety and focus on the dopamine of earning/unlocking new things mixed with cozy upgrades. Hoping it all comes together!

@bballinger thank you! It's funny because I personally don't have ADHD, but all this started from TikTok comments. I was posting app concept ideas and a video started getting a lot of comments from folks with ADHD asking for this feature and that. We kept working and refining and here we are!
From my understanding and research, people with ADHD struggle to have internal motivation and are moved when feelings of novelty and urgency. We tried to lace in lots of feelings of novelty by collecting lots of accessories and upgrades for your birds and soon we'll be releasing streaks and habits which will (hopefully) help drive the urgency side of motivation.
