I tried signing up for Inflow, but noped out when it asked to fill out survey questions and supply an email address.

Same. It's like it was designed specifically to make it hard for ADHDers to sign up. Little information about the service or what I'm signing up for or what it costs, the "get started" button opens a new tab on a different site, etc.

I bookmarked it with the intention to go back. However, I know realistically I won't.

It's a weirdly designed funnel. I somehow ended up going through part of it twice (second time in the app). I have email scolding me for attempting to sign up with an address that already had an account.

Not the craziest designed-by-marketing thing I've seen, but up there. But hey, it's not like I'm looking to them for UX advice.

What happens at the end of it funnel? What exactly is the app? And how much is it?

$47.99/month or $199.99/year - at the end of the (rather long) funnel with marketing spiel sprinkled in between, it asks for you to enter your card details to start your 7 day free trial.

How do you expect to go about the modern internet without supplying an email address to sign up for something?

It's more than that...

It's not even clear what you are signing up for, and they start asking a bunch of personal questions...

My ADHD brain noped out of there in an overwhelmed browser closing act of defiance! :-)

Not only it's counter productive to engage adhd people, which makes me question their legitimity, but it's manipulative. It's textbook commitment increase to convert a lead into a paying customers. Doesn't feel they put the care in health care.
