Abstract: 
Mobile applications (apps) are just recently becoming useful tools for people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). These programs provide a range of features and capabilities for controlling the symptoms of ADHD, increasing productivity, and improving organization. Task management, time management, enhanced focus, cognitive training, self- monitoring, mindfulness, and education are among them. According to research, several mobile apps may help people with ADHD by improving their symptom management, time management, attention, and cognitive abilities. However, the efficacy of certain applications may vary, and more study is needed to ascertain their long-term usefulness. When choosing and incorporating apps into an intervention strategy, individual needs, preferences, and app features must be taken into account. It is advised to work together with medical experts or ADHD specialists for individualized advice on how to use mobile apps successfully. Mobile apps have the potential to significantly help people with ADHD, improve their self- management, and improve their general well-being.
