You know what you need to do. Starting is the hard part. Sokira is a voice-first companion built for how ADHD brains actually work. Don't type, don't organize, don't set up a system. Just talk. "I have to write my essay and I don't know where to start." Sokira gets it, names one small first step, and stays with you while you begin. TALK, AND IT'S HANDLED Say "dentist Thursday at one, remind me at noon" and it's on your calendar with the nudge set. No forms, no fiddling. ONE MAIN THING, NOT FIFTY Your day centers on a single main thing, with the rest held quietly underneath. The noise fades. BIG TASKS BECOME SMALL STEPS "Clean the house before people come over" turns into five doable steps, starting with the easiest one. A BODY DOUBLE IN YOUR POCKET Start a focus session and a companion stays with you while you work, with a calm hourglass instead of a stressful countdown. FOUR COMPANIONS, REAL VOICES Mae is steady, Jules is your hype squad, Coach is direct, Sam is quiet. Switch anytime. IT GETS TO KNOW YOU Sokira remembers what you're navigating and how you like to be talked to. That memory lives on your device, and you can see and edit every word of it. FAMILY, WITHOUT SURVEILLANCE Share only the tasks you choose. Nobody sees anything you didn't explicitly share. Celebrate each other's wins, gently. No streaks. No guilt. No productivity scores. Just a calm companion that helps you start. Sokira is free for the first week, then $14.99/month or $99/year. A companion, not a clinician: Sokira doesn't diagnose or treat anything, and it's not a substitute for professional care. Privacy: your conversations stay on your device, not on our servers.
