Viranda is a free self-expression app that connects two students in a confidential chat — one shares (a Ventor) and the other listens (a Vira). When the chat ends, it’s wiped clean like it never happened. And yes, it’s completely anonymous — no one ever knows who’s on the other side. It’s a chill, no-pressure, non-crisis space to feel instant relief on campus. Whether you’re going through a breakup, stressing over exams, or just need to get something off your chest, Viranda matches you with a fellow student trained to listen — not fix. KEY FEATURES: • Anonymous conversations that leave no trace • Instant access with an invite code — no registration required • Campus-focused implementation for student communities • No social media — no followers, likes, or lasting connections • Full privacy and confidentiality • Switch roles easily — be a Ventor or a Vira whenever you choose Viranda isn’t therapy — and it’s not for crisis situations. It’s a wellness tool built around listening, empathy, and human connection. Think of it as your emotional reset button, powered by peers who truly get it.

A no-nonsense interval timer built for run/walk training. Set a work duration, rest duration, and number of repetitions. Add optional warm-up and cool-down phases. Start the timer and it runs the full workout automatically, announcing each phase change out loud so you don't have to look at your phone. FEATURES - Work, rest, warm-up, and cool-down phases, each independently configurable - Adjustable repetition count - Voice announcements or tone alerts at the start of each phase - Customizable phrases for work start, rest start, and warm-up start - Optional end-of-interval countdown (5s, 10s, or 15s before a phase ends) - Optional intermediate time announcements within a phase (e.g., every 1 or 2 minutes) - Vibration alerts - Pause, resume, restart, and skip controls during a workout - Total time remaining shown on screen - Reset to defaults No account required. No ads. No subscription. No data collected. Built by a former casual runner training for a marathon on his 50th birthday, because I couldn't find a simple interval timer that just worked.
