Tandem is built for ADHD brains. You're paired with one partner who has ADHD too, so you get someone who understands the Monday-motivation, Thursday-disappeared pattern. Small steps, forgiving streaks, and company when you're stuck.
1Answer 6 quick questionsYour goal, your rhythm, how your energy works, the tone you like, and when you're free. About a minute.
2Meet your matchWe suggest one partner and show you why. Not right? Ask for someone else, as often as you like.
3Show up, even in a small wayEach period you tell each other how it went. A small version counts, a missed week doesn't reset anything, and you can co-work when starting is hard.

What do you want to get done?
Be specific. "Run a half marathon by March" beats "get fit". Your partner sees this.
0 / 180
e.g. "Put my running shoes on and walk 10 minutes." On low days, this still counts.
💡Why we ask: your partner will be working on something similar, so they understand the effort. Your goal also becomes your pact, the thing you check in against. The small version keeps you in the game on the days the full goal feels impossible.

How often should you check in?
A check-in is a short "did I do what I said?" update your partner sees.
And how do you want to work together?
💡Why we ask: partners with the same rhythm stick together far longer. It also sets how often we remind you. Co-working (sometimes called body doubling) helps a lot of people start: someone else is there, quietly working too.

How does your energy work?
No wrong answers. Everyone here has ADHD, so we match on how you actually get things done.
When do you usually get going?
What usually happens when you fall off?
💡Why we ask: we pair people whose slumps don't line up, so one of you is usually up when the other is down. Your partner also learns what helps you. If you go quiet, for example, they'll send a no-pressure ping instead of asking why.

What kind of partner works for you?
Some people need warmth. Some need short, concrete asks. Nobody here gets shamed either way.

💡Why we ask: we match you with someone who likes the same tone, so encouragement doesn't feel soft and pushback doesn't feel harsh.

When are you free to talk?
We match you with someone whose day lines up with yours.
💡Why we ask: check-ins only work if you're both around. We pair you with someone whose free time overlaps with yours, whatever their timezone. If you pick Flexible, you'll be paired with someone happy to agree a time each check-in.
