Customized daily workout circuits designed to help you gain focus, supercharge energy, build mental strength and boost resilience. Start seeing and feeling the results in as little as 10 minutes a day! Whether you're a busy professional, a parent, or someone seeking to be and do their best each day, we've got you. MYNDY offers the following: YOUR DAILY HIIT FOR THE MIND Each day starts with a quick Check-In: rate your focus, energy and mood, so you know where you stand. Then work through short sprints, each one built to train a different part of your mind: * Focus: set your 3 daily priorities and pick your #1, so you know exactly what a good day looks like. * Energy: build wellness habits around sleep, fuel, movement, breaks and tech use. * Positivity: capture your daily wins. You're doing better than you think. * Perspective: listen to short exercises that challenge the way you think. * Recovery: listen to short exercises that help your mind rest and recharge. * Clarity: write down your thoughts in your own journal. Start from a blank page or pull a prompt, or tap the mic and just talk. Close the day with a cool-down: check off your priorities and your energy habits. ROUTINES BUILT FOR YOU We know you're busy! Choose the sprints that fit your goals and your schedule, and set reminders that keep you on track. WORKOUTS FOR HOW YOU FEEL Feeling stressed, stuck, tired or overwhelmed? Pick how you feel, or how you want to feel, and get a quick mental exercise for that moment. A MODEL THAT WORKS We've done the research so you don't have to! Our model pulls together the most impactful techniques from disciplines like neuroscience and positive psychology, all in one place. These exercises include things like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques, visualization, positive affect journaling, breathwork, goal-setting and more. PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE It's easier to work on things we can actually see and measure. Track your effort, energy and focus by day, week, month or six months, and look back on every win you've logged. REAL-DEAL ACCOUNTABILITY Knowing what to do is one thing, but actually doing it is another. Create a team with your friends to celebrate and push each other. It's a fun and easy way to make sure you show up each day. We know it's the small moments we have each day that shape how we feel about ourselves and our lives. Let's make 'em count.

Dad Mode helps you be fully present during family time by blocking the apps that pull you away. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose which apps distract you most - social media, news, games, or anything else 2. Slide to activate Dad Mode when it's family time 3. Stay present while those apps are blocked FEATURES - Simple slide-to-activate gesture - no complicated settings - Uses Apple's Screen Time to reliably block apps - Track your focus streaks and total present time - Daily reminders to activate Dad Mode - Home screen widget shows your status at a glance WHY DAD MODE? We've all been there. You pick up your phone to check one thing, and suddenly 20 minutes have passed. Your kids are playing, your partner is talking, and you missed it. Dad Mode creates a simple barrier between you and your distracting apps. When it's on, those apps are blocked. No willpower required. It's not about never using your phone. It's about being intentional. When you're with your family, be WITH your family. PRIVACY FIRST - All your data stays on your device - No accounts, no sign-ups, no tracking - We never see which apps you block or when you use Dad Mode Built by a dad, for dads (and moms, and anyone who wants to be more present).
