"If it's not in front of me, it's gone": I fine-tuned a 4B model for my friend with ADHD

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend TL;DR. My friend Zee has ADHD. I asked him what actually goes wrong, and he answered in two lines: things he can't see disappear, and the one thing he locks onto eats the whole day. So I built Actually. You brain-dump in your own messy words.
