Daily, text-based executive function support for adults with ADHD. A real human who responds within minutes when you're stuck, not another thing to keep up with.
No app to log into when you're already overwhelmed. No video calls to dread. Just one ongoing conversation with one human who knows you.
Around the time you usually start your day, your coach checks in. How'd you sleep, are you medicated, what's on your plate. Two minutes. No streaks, no points.
Not a to-do list. The actual things that matter today. Then we name the first tiny step for each. Small enough that starting feels possible.
Mid-task paralysis, decision fog, the wall at 2pm...text us. Response in minutes during support windows. No judgment ever.
If you go quiet for a week, we're still here when you come back. Monthly 20-minute recalibration. Your real patterns inform the adjustments.
The same quiet loop, every day — we capture what's in your head, decide what actually matters, and shrink it until starting feels possible. You don't learn it. You just text what's going on, and the structure happens on our side.
Whatever's swirling — assignments, errands, the thing someone asked you to do — lands in a text and stops living in your head.
What's actually yours, what matters today, what can wait. You don't rank or prioritize...that's our job, not yours.
Whatever's next becomes a 5-minute first move — open the doc, write three lines, dial the number. No vague "work on it."
Stuck day, tired day, flying day...the approach changes with your brain. We meet you where you are, not where a plan says you should be.
ADHD support is a crowded category and most of it isn't this. Here's the line we draw, plainly, so you know whether Marlow is the right fit.
Cancel anytime in one text. No exit interview, no claw-back, no retention call. Includes everything below.
Enter it below to continue to checkout. We keep the program small on purpose — small enough that one person can actually know you.
After payment you'll land on a welcome page with your coach's number and a Zoom scheduler for your intake call.
Don't see yours? Email hello@firststep.support and a real human will write back.
No. Marlow does not provide therapy, mental health treatment, or clinical assessment. We're executive function support — the practical, in-the-moment kind. Many of our members also see a therapist; we're complementary.
SMS / iMessage through a dedicated number we give you. No app to download, no portal to log into — just an ongoing thread on the messaging app you already use.
Within minutes during your coach's support windows (typically 8–6 EST, Mon–Sat). Outside those windows, by the next window. We'll set expectations together on day one.
We pick back up. No guilt, no make-up sessions, no "where have you been." Going quiet is part of how this works for some people. We're built around that, not against it.
Capacity. One coach can hold roughly 25 people well; beyond that, the response times slip and the relationship thins. Referrals from current members keep the fit high and the size honest.
Anytime, in one text. We'd rather you leave easily than stay resentfully. While we’re not able to provide refunds for the current billing period, you’re welcome to cancel anytime. This will ensure you won’t be billed moving forward.
