What is RDY? A starting guide for ADHD households
Understand RDY’s public alpha, explore its free-to-read family guides, and choose one small household coordination question to start with.
RDY is building a household-coordination platform for people with ADHD and the people around them. We start with ordinary family situations: remembering a question, making a plan understandable, and deciding who needs to do or know what. Our public guides give you a place to start without an account.
General education and practical perspectives. Editorial standards.
Start with a coordination question
You do not need to organize the whole household at once. Choose one repeated moment: leaving the house, changing an afternoon plan, starting a task, or preparing a question for a visit. Name what is confusing and ask each person what they notice. A smaller starting point makes the proposed arrangement easier to describe and revisit; it is not a claim that a particular method will improve ADHD.
Public information and the private product are different
The glossary, family guides, and these help pages are public and readable without registration. Reading them does not create a household, add a family member, or send anyone a message. You can use their prompts on paper. The private product has a separate sign-in and access process; read the current invitation and feature information before choosing to use it.
What alpha means here
RDY’s current public experience is in US English and the product remains in alpha. Pages describing the direction of the platform do not mean that every proposed capability is available. Structured handoffs and opt-in summaries are among the planned areas. Check the current release and access information for the functions available to you, any limits, and the support route. Do not rely on a feature until you have confirmed that it is present and fits the task.
Support should have a clear owner
A person can ask for help without handing over every decision. A partner can offer company without becoming a supervisor. A parent can provide structure while listening to a child’s account. Say who will set up the proposed support, what the other person is agreeing to, and when either can ask to change it. No guide here automatically shares an observation with a relative, school, employer, or professional.
RDY action
Write a first-use note
You can do this on paper without entering personal information into RDY.
- Our situation: write one moment you would like to make clearer.
- Each person’s account: record what they actually say, without assigning a motive.
- Our next step: choose one small arrangement to discuss or try.
- Ownership: name who would do what, and what is not being agreed to.
- Review: choose when to keep, adjust, or stop the arrangement.
Check in: If people want different things, keep both accounts visible. A clearer question is a useful outcome even when you have not agreed on a solution.
Different perspectives
The same situation can feel different depending on your place in the family. Start with the perspective that fits, and make room for the other person’s account.
Person with ADHD
Your preferences and account belong in the plan; a label does not explain everything about you.
Try: Name one kind of help you want and one boundary around it.
Parent or caregiver
Bring the child’s view into the conversation and keep adult responsibilities with adults.
Try: Ask which part of the situation the child would like to make clearer.
Partner or other supporter
Agree what help means before taking on the task or monitoring it.
Try: Ask whether the person wants company, a reminder, or help choosing a next step.
