# Koala For Work

> Work planner for ADHD that breaks tasks down and reschedules

Koala For Work is a planning workspace built for professionals with ADHD, made by a UK company. You describe what is on your plate by typing, speaking or uploading, and Koala breaks it into steps sized in minutes, plans them across your days within the deep-work hours you set, and moves whatever is unfinished to the next day overnight. It is in beta, runs in the browser with a Windows desktop beta alongside, and has a single plan at £18 a month after a 14-day free trial.

## Ways to pay less

- **Founding 250 membership at £180 a year** (Annual discount): The Founding 250 membership, which includes Koala access, costs £18 a month or £180 a year. Twelve monthly payments would come to £216. Source: https://koalaforwork.com/founding-250

## Key features

- **Task breakdown:** Work described in your own words comes back as smaller steps sized in minutes, at a size you choose (small, medium or large). Any step can be adjusted.
- **A day planned to your capacity:** Steps are planned across your days up to the deep-work hours you set. Whatever slips is rescheduled by the next morning, and a daily brief opens the day.
- **Deep-work blocks in your calendar:** With Google or Outlook Calendar connected, Koala adds deep-work blocks around meetings, and clears a missed block to find it another time.
- **Deadline and backlog view:** Every action shows its deadline and progress, a deadline that will not fit is flagged early, and the backlog shows how many weeks of work are waiting.
- **Focus toolkit:** The workspace can be set up with timers, checklists, notepads and focus music, choosing only the tools you want to see.
- **AI assistant and meeting-note connections:** Koala connects over MCP so Claude or another AI assistant can read the plan, add work and log what is finished. Granola meeting notes can become actions.
