## What is Alete?

Do you close your phone feeling drained by digital noise and doomscrolling?

Modern feeds grab your attention using outrage hooks and clickbait. While wellness apps tell you to look away, Alete is the **Mindful Reader for Safari**—'mindful breathing for the eyes' that quiets screen clutter and restores your focus with a morning **Daily Reset**. Try free for 14 days.

Alete is your Mindfulness Editor—a quiet screen-side companion that runs ambiently in the background of your devices to help you observe the digital world’s framing, emotion, and outrage without judgment, empowering you to reclaim your mental sovereignty and practice true digital mindfulness.

Rather than forcing you to look away, Alete acts as your quiet reading editor. It tracks your exposure to key indicators of stress—fear, outrage, and sensationalism—and translates those patterns into clear, visual focus metrics: Attention Diversity and Perspective Defusion. Through personalized Daily Resets designed to help you create space and question the information you consume, Alete provides simple, practical adjustments to help you recognize sensory friction and take active charge of your focus.

### WHAT ALETE DOES FOR YOU:

• ATTENTIONAL SPACE (The Mindfulness Editor)
Alete runs ambiently alongside Safari. As you read articles, posts, and headlines, it dissolves dramatic adjectives, clickbait framing, and artificial urgency in real-time. By restoring a calm, clear blueprint of the text, Alete creates space between stimulus and response, keeping your attention calm and centered.

• MINDFUL FOCUS (Observe the Exposure)
Bring the subconscious patterns of the feed to light. Alete observes your exposure to key indicators of stress: fear-based framing, outrage-inducing hooks, and sensationalism. By showing you how these patterns shape your daily focus, Alete helps you recognize hidden drains on your attention and build intellectual mindfulness.

• DAILY RESET (Refine Your Perspective)
A quiet daily check-in designed to create space and calmly question the information you consume. Each morning, your Daily Reset helps you step outside of narrow narrative loops, notice headline urgency with space, and avoid immediate reactive beliefs. Challenge unstated assumptions and consider counter-perspectives, restoring the natural agility of your attention.

### BUILT FOR YOUR COGNITIVE HEALTH:

• SOVEREIGN PRIVACY: All sensitive personal data (such as passwords, medical, or financial information) is scrubbed locally on your device. Only clean text content is securely processed to deliver deep narrative analysis, ensuring your private inputs remain entirely yours.
• NO ADS OR SPONSORS: Alete is supported completely by members, not ad clicks. Our interests are aligned entirely with your focus.
