Golf asks you to remember one number.
Your brain has other plans.
SimplyStroke is the golf app for ADHD: one giant button counts every stroke, holds the number, and hands you a finished scorecard — so your head is free to wander and your score still adds up.
It's not a focus problem. It's a golf design problem.
Think about what golf actually asks of you on a single par 4: pick a club, read the wind, hit, watch the ball, walk, chat, find the ball, plan again, hit again — and the whole time, silently increment a number in your head and don't lose it. For ten minutes. While everything on a golf course is more interesting than that number.
Working memory is exactly the thing ADHD brains don't hand out for free. So the count evaporates somewhere between your approach shot and the green, and you end up doing forensic reconstruction: driver, chip, the one in the bunker… was the bunker one shot or two? The pencil-and-scorecard fix fails for the same reason — it's one more boring thing to remember.
The fix that actually works is embarrassingly simple: stop holding the number. Move it somewhere that can't get distracted.
One tap. The app remembers.
SimplyStroke turns your whole phone screen into a golf ball. Swing, tap, done — the app holds your stroke count, your running total and your vs-par, and builds the scorecard as you play. Nothing to navigate, nothing to poke, nothing else to wander off into.
ADHD golf app FAQ
Is there a golf app made for ADHD?
Yes — SimplyStroke is a golf app built specifically for ADHD golfers. The whole app is one giant tap-the-ball button that counts your strokes, so working memory never has to hold the number. It launches in 2026 on iPhone, Android and Apple Watch; you can join the waitlist to be told the moment it's live.
Why do I keep losing count of my strokes?
Because golf quietly asks you to hold a running number in working memory for ten-plus minutes per hole while also planning shots, chatting, walking and looking for your ball. That's a hard task for anyone and a nearly impossible one for ADHD brains. It's a design problem, not a discipline problem — the fix is moving the count out of your head and into a single tap.
How is SimplyStroke different from other golf scorecard apps?
Most scoring apps bury the score behind menus, GPS overlays, handicaps and ads. SimplyStroke keeps exactly one job on screen: count this stroke. One tap per swing, an undo button for fat fingers, and a finished scorecard with the math already done.
Does SimplyStroke work without signal on the course?
Yes. SimplyStroke works fully offline, so a dead zone on the back nine never costs you your round.
When does SimplyStroke launch?
SimplyStroke launches in 2026 on iPhone, Android and Apple Watch. Join the waitlist and we'll send exactly one message when it's live.
