“No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world.”
Are you REALLY into fantasy?! 🐉
Do you want to improve your health in some way but have given up? 😬
Does 🧠ADHD seem to get in the way of everything you want to do? 🎯
ModernSam is an RPG app for productivity AND self-care. Level up and get rewarded for what you do in real life
Struggle with stress and anxiety?
Put on your 🎩 magician hat, our fantasy oriented mindfulness 🧘 collection is here for you.
Struggle with focus and productivity?
Perhaps you need to level up your inner warrior! That's where gamification is SO KEY especially for those of us with ADHD because INSTANT🔥 feedback = DOPAMINE ✨
Struggle with analysis paralysis?
We gotchu. Our daily town quests are curated for you automagically on a daily basis. Choose from a limited menu each day to level up (Warrior, ranger, healer, or magician) for when you just can't decide what to focus on.
Gamification is the answer 🧙
Why? ADHDers NEED ✨Dopamine WIZARDRY ✨
All 8 core drives of gamification will be harnessed. Our founder has ADHD and set out on a mission to build a productivity and self-care app that actually worked for people with ADHD since nothing out there worked for him.
What are the archetypes?
If you're a fan of the Enneagram or the MBTI®, The Archetype Classes are going to appeal to you! Home-brewed through a fantasy lens, our built-in personality test aims to understand who you are by analyzing patterns of how you show up in the world.
Why this app is needed? 😰
As someone with ADHD and a late life diagnosis - ModernSam is the app I needed for so long and I couldn't wait around any more. Every app I’ve ever tested (which there are a LOT) fell short on some specific ingredient that didn't work for me. I need an app that understood how to motivate me and that could hold my interest.
Turns out, a lot of people feel the same!
How has community played an important role in ModernSam's development?
The community has been an absolute game changer for me and they hail from all over the world. The US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, and more - They've been involved in not only encouraging me and validating the idea for the app and my own personal journey - they've contributed their time, skills, ideas, voice, and even their coins to furthering this project.
The community has made this dream a reality, and I am forever grateful. A group of kindred spirits who help each other in whatever “Sam way” they know how 🙏

Meet our founder, Ryan 👋
Ryan is a long-time gamer whose experience spans from classic MMORPGs such as Dark Age of Camelot and EverQuest to RTS games like Starcraft - to single player games such as Zelda and even MUD games like Dragon Realms. His wide array of games taught him what works well, and what doesn’t (especially for people with ADHD). Collecting the best pieces of all of his digital adventures and combining them with his interest in personal development and 10 years of experience in UI/UX design, he came up with an approach that is catching the attention of many who have been looking for a better solution to their problems.
