Amazing Marvin

Amazing Marvin is a highly customizable task manager and daily planner for individuals, especially ADHD users and chronic procrastinators who need a productivity system that adapts to their workflow.

Key capabilities include:

• Modular customization with 300+ settings and toggleable features, plus multiple layouts (list, Kanban, calendar) to support workflows like GTD, time blocking, or spontaneous planning
• Focus and anti-procrastination tools such as Super Focus Mode (one task at a time), Spotlight work sessions, Task Jar randomization, and a step-by-step Procrastination Wizard
• Timers and time tracking including a configurable Pomodoro timer and per-task time tracking for understanding effort, reporting, or billing
• Planning, habits, and recurrence with a weekly scheduler for visual time blocking, habit and goal tracking, analytics charts, and advanced recurring task patterns

Pricing: Paid subscription at $12/month or $96/year, $300 lifetime, plus a 14-day free trial (no credit card required); 50% student discount available via support.

What makes it notable is the “make your own productivity app” approach: instead of forcing one method, it lets users enable only the features they need and combine planning, focus, gamification, and calendar workflows in one place, which can suit complex or ADHD-friendly setups (with a known learning curve).
