## What is Aura?

Aura is a gentle focus timer for ADHD minds — built for people who freeze up at aggressive productivity apps.

Most focus apps treat your brain like a discipline problem. Loud alarms. Big red STOP buttons. Guilt when you break a streak. For a lot of us, that just adds shame to the spiral.

Aura does the opposite. It's calm, quiet, and forgiving — designed around how focus actually works for neurodivergent minds.

WHAT MAKES AURA DIFFERENT

A timer that flows with you
Start a 25-minute session with a soft breathing visual. When time's up, there's no alarm — the timer simply keeps counting up if you're still in flow, with a quiet "Going further" label. You stop when you're ready. A gentle 90-minute cap reminds you to rest.

Streaks without the shame
Build a 7-day streak and celebrate real milestones. Miss a day? It just resets to 1 — no guilt messages, no "you ruined your streak." Progress, not punishment.

Daily intention
Set one clear focus each morning. No endless to-do lists — just the single thing that matters right now.

Share your focus
Turn a finished session into a beautiful card — overlay your stats on your own photo and share to Instagram Stories, Messages, anywhere. Your focus, your way.

Self-compassion, not hustle culture
Calming quotes and gentle check-ins instead of "crush your goals" pressure. "Rest is resistance." "Your nervous system is sending a message: slow down."

WHO AURA IS FOR
- Adults with ADHD who struggle with task initiation and overwhelm
- Students who need a calm study timer that won't add anxiety
- Anyone tired of productivity apps that feel like a threat

Aura is a sanctuary for focus. No pressure. No shame. Just presence.
