Anxious Sock — the laundry reminder that won’t let you forget

The laundry reminder app

Never forget
a load again.

You start the wash with the best intentions… then life happens. Anxious Sock won’t let you forget – Dottie nudges you (lovingly) all the way from washer to dried, folded, and finally put away.

🧺 Available now in the App Store. Android close behind.

The villain

The Forgotten Load strikes again.

You know the moment. It’s not laziness — a simple task shouldn’t cost you this much mental space, and forgetting it doesn’t make you a mess. It just means you needed a better nudge.

Why it works

A reminder that actually reminds you.

🔔

She won’t let you forget

Dottie gets gently more insistent, and keeps reminding you until you actually move the load. No more sour surprises.

🔄

The whole laundry relay

Wash, dry, fold, put away. She hands you from one step to the next, so nothing stalls out halfway through.

Made for forgetful brains

Gentle, funny, and never shaming — built around how ADHD and overloaded brains actually work.

Dottie the anxious sock

Your guide

Meet Dottie.

Dottie’s a slightly anxious sock on a mission: she forgets things too, so she’ll remember for you. She’s not just cute — she’s built around the science of forgetful brains, escalating her reminders and cheering you all the way to the finish.

You’re the hero here. Dottie’s just your very persistent sidekick.

The plan

Three taps to a finished basket.

1

Start a cycle

Tap your wash, dry, or fold. That’s the whole setup — one tap and Dottie’s on it.

2

Dottie watches the clock

She nudges the moment it’s done — and won’t quit until you’ve actually moved it.

3

All the way to done

She walks you through drying, folding, and putting away. Not started. Finished.

The transformation

From behind to caught up.

😕 Before
  • Rewashing Tuesday’s load on Friday
  • Wrinkled everything, every time
  • A chair buried in clean clothes
  • A quiet little guilt every time you walk past
✨ After
  • Clean, dry, folded, put away — the whole thing
  • Nothing souring, nothing wrinkling
  • The chair is just… a chair again
  • You, weirdly on top of your life

Ready?

Finally finish the laundry.

nxious Sock is on the App Store now. Dottie is trying to stay calm about it.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is the best laundry reminder app for ADHD?

Anxious Sock is a laundry reminder app built specifically for ADHD and forgetful brains. Instead of one easy-to-ignore alert, its mascot Dottie sends escalating nudges that repeat until you actually move the load — then walks you through drying, folding, and putting away.

How do I remember to move laundry from the washer to the dryer?

Tell Anxious Sock how long your wash cycle runs and tap start. The app reminds you the moment the cycle finishes — even if the app is closed — and keeps nudging until you tap “I moved it.” No more sour, forgotten loads.

Does Anxious Sock work with any washer and dryer?

Yes. Anxious Sock works with any machine — no smart appliances, hardware, or setup required. You just set your cycle times once, and Dottie watches the clock.

Is Anxious Sock a subscription?

No. Anxious Sock is a one-time purchase of $4.99 on the App Store. There are no subscriptions, no ads, no accounts, and no tracking — everything stays on your phone.

What happens if I ignore a reminder?

Dottie doesn’t give up. Reminders escalate and repeat until you confirm you’ve moved the laundry, then hand you to beat-the-clock timers for folding and putting away — so the load gets finished, not just started.

Is Anxious Sock available on Android?

Anxious Sock is available now for iPhone on the App Store. An Android version is planned.
