Aura House turns fragrance into a ritual. Pair your diffuser over Bluetooth in seconds, then shape how every room smells — by intensity, by schedule, by mood. DESIGNED AROUND YOUR DAY Set up to 20 rituals per diffuser: a soft morning presence in the bedroom, something brighter for the afternoon, a wind-down blend at night. A short guided setup composes your first rituals from three questions. NEVER RUN OUT The app learns how you actually diffuse and quietly predicts when your oil will run low. If a refill is already on its way, it tells you. If not, reordering takes a tap. MADE FOR EVERY AURA HOUSE DIFFUSER Classic, Pro, and S2000 — with battery status, per-ritual intensity, and schedules that live on the device itself, so your rituals continue even when your phone is elsewhere. A CALMER KIND OF APP No account required to control your diffuser. Bluetooth only — no Wi-Fi setup, no cloud dependency. Sign in if you would like your scents, orders, and subscription woven in. YOUR SCENTS, CLOSE AT HAND Browse the fragrance library, add oils to your next order, or buy once. Tell the app which oil is in each diffuser and it keeps quiet track of the rest. Updating from an earlier version? Your saved diffusers, rooms, and schedules carry over.
