The core difference
Inflow is an ADHD education and coaching app — CBT-informed modules, exercises, and evidence-based content to help you understand and manage your brain. Lunar is an ADHD daily planner — the app you open each morning to decide what gets done, filtered by energy and cycle phase.
Inflow builds understanding over time. Lunar is for the 8am moment when understanding doesn't help you initiate the task right in front of you.

The knowing vs. doing gap
The most common ADHD experience: you know exactly what you need to do and why, and still can't start it. Inflow is excellent at closing the knowledge gap — explaining why ADHD works the way it does and what strategies help. Lunar closes the initiation gap — filtering your task list so the decision of what to start with is already made for you, based on your current energy and cycle phase.
Verdict
Choose Inflow for building a deep understanding of your ADHD brain, especially early in diagnosis. Choose Lunar for the daily execution layer — the planner that meets you where you are without requiring you to first complete a module. The ideal stack is both.
