HMARA

Read full description

Sometimes the clearest way to understand what you're feeling is to talk it through. HMARA is an emotional support companion that helps you make sense of what's happening in your life. Tell it about your day, a conflict, a fear, a thought you can't shake, or a feeling you don't fully understand. HMARA helps you slow the moment down, look at it from different angles, and understand what may be happening underneath. THE MORE YOU TALK, THE MORE YOU CAN SEE Your experiences are connected. The same trigger, thought, fear, or reaction can appear in different situations. As your conversations build over time, HMARA helps you connect the dots, notice recurring themes, and recognize emotional patterns that can be difficult to see in the moment. Understanding the pattern is often the first step toward changing it. WORK THROUGH WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND Talk to HMARA when you're: • Overthinking a conversation • Feeling stressed or overwhelmed • Trying to understand why something affected you so much • Stuck in the same relationship pattern • Facing a difficult decision • Carrying an emotion you can't quite name • Simply needing a private place to think out loud HMARA doesn't stop at a one-off answer. It asks questions, reflects on what you share, helps you explore what matters, and supports you in finding clearer next steps. YOUR STORY MATTERS You shouldn't have to explain everything from the beginning every time you need support. HMARA is designed for ongoing conversations. What you share can become part of a bigger picture — helping future conversations feel more connected, personal, and relevant to what you're actually going through. TALK OR TYPE - YOUR WAY Write when you want space to think. Speak when saying it out loud feels easier. Choose the communication style that feels most natural to you — calm and supportive, reflective, structured, encouraging and more. SEE YOUR JOURNEY Every conversation is saved to your Journey with a title and the topics it touched, so you can come back to it anytime. • Mood trend — how you've been feeling across your recent conversations • Weekly insight — one observation about your week and one small step for the next • Month in review — your mood over the month, where your attention went, recurring themes and what shifted AFFIRMATIONS MADE FOR YOU A few quiet minutes, created just for you. Choose a focus for today from topics suggested by what's been on your mind, or describe your own in a few words. HMARA writes a personal affirmation and reads it aloud in a calm voice over gentle music, highlighting each line as you listen. Prefer to read? Open it as text. All your past affirmations stay in one place. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Add HMARA widgets: quote of the day, your latest affirmation, this week's focus and your month in review. IMPORTANT HMARA is a self-help and emotional support tool. It does not replace professional diagnosis or treatment. If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, contact your local emergency number or a crisis line right away. HMARA can also point you to support resources in your language. Talk about what happened. Understand how it made you feel. Notice what keeps repeating. Work through it. Move forward with a clearer understanding of yourself.

FlyOut

You don't open TikTok because you decided to. Your thumb does it on autopilot. FlyOut puts a pause between the urge and the tap, long enough to choose. FlyOut is a calm screen time app with a shield inside. Instead of a blunt lockout, you get a pause, a breath, and a 77-day plan that has a last day. HOW IT WORKS • Shield your apps. Block Instagram, TikTok or anything else on a schedule, on a daily time limit, or by location (home, office, gym). Built on Apple's Screen Time framework: no Shortcuts, about two minutes to set up. • Breathe before you decide. When a shield fires, a 90-second breathing practice meets the urge instead of a countdown. The urge peaks and passes. Then you choose: stay out, or open the app on purpose. • Start a focus session any time. A timed block for when you need to concentrate. It runs on the lock screen and ends itself when the time is up. • Follow the 77-day plan. One short step a day, unlocked each morning, nothing to binge. Reflections, practices and a private journal for what you notice. The research behind the length: habits go automatic at a median of 66 days (Lally et al., UCL), and 77 leaves room to miss a few. • Keep a streak three ways. A day counts if you did your plan day, wrote a line in your journal, or left your shields alone. Nothing to buy back, nothing to defend. MORNING TO NIGHT • Mornings start with you. Turn on morning protection and your apps wait until you have said where the day should go: the areas you care about, today's tasks, and the shields that hold them. • Evenings come back to you. After eight, a shield stops sending you to the feed and walks you to tonight's reflection instead. Two minutes a night, and the weekly recap shows what the week was actually made of. • Your first day, walked through. After setup, a short guided tour shows how one FlyOut day fits together, from the morning plan to the evening note. HONEST BY DESIGN • Your progress survives updates and reinstalls. Streaks sync and merge, they don't vanish. • Snooze exists. FlyOut never bricks your phone and never locks you out of what you actually need. • Real stats only: pickups caught and time inside apps. No inflated "time saved" math. • The way back into an app always costs the same thing, a breath, and never money. There is no strict mode to buy and no emergency unlock for sale. WHO IT'S FOR Adults whose phone use runs ahead of them: the 9pm couch scroll, the pickup with no message behind it, the "just five minutes" that isn't. If the built-in limits with their Ignore button have never once stopped you, you already know why the pause has to come with a breath. PRIVACY Blocking runs on-device through Apple's Family Controls. Your journal is private. We don't sell attention back to you. Get your evenings back. Your first shield is free: set it tonight and see what the pause gives you.
