Untired blends Gaia’s guided reflections with gentle guardrails, turning screen-time into a cozy tavern adventure instead of a punishment. # HOW IT’S DIFFERENT Untired invites a brief pause with Gaia and Sam before autopilot scrolling takes over—a gentle reflection, not a wall—building awareness without resistance. 1. YOUR DIGITAL SANCTUARY Grow a cozy tavern as you make mindful choices. Daily energy represents attention: drain it in distracting apps or recharge in your tavern. You learn to value focus as a precious resource. 2. MOTIVATION THAT LASTS Collect 75+ hand-crafted characters and unlock their stories as you progress. Gaia’s reflections to deepen insight. Collection + reflection > streaks you’ll break. 3. REAL BEHAVIOR CHANGE • Break unconscious phone-checking • See screen time drop without feeling policed • Build sustainable habits, not detox sprints • Track growth through your tavern and Gaia sessions • Feel proud of small wins that compound # PERFECT IF YOU… • Want gentler guardrails, not hard blocks • Prefer reflection over shame • Check your phone 100+ times daily • Believe wellness should feel encouraging # WHY IT WORKS Untired replaces digital “jail” with curiosity and positive reinforcement: a brief pause, Gaia’s calm prompts, and visible progress in your tavern. Gentle friction, celebratory feedback, and reflective insight are a kinder loop. QUOTES “My screen time dropped 60% in two weeks.” - Ian, Beta Tester “I went from 8h to 3h/day. The characters make you want to succeed, not feel guilty.” - Jane, Beta Tester “Gaia’s check-ins make my self-care apps and reflections feel intentional instead of rushed.” - Kai, Beta Tester # ONE PURCHASE FOR CORE FEATURES - Gentle guardrails + Gaia reflections, yours forever - All 5 areas, monsters, character collection - Zero data collection or tracking - Core updates free; optional add-ons later # BOTTOM LINE Choose your tavern over scrolling; characters celebrate, Gaia helps you understand. Digital habits become an adventure you want to win, not a rule to escape. Your tavern awaits. Gaia is ready. (Requires iOS 16.0+. Screen Time permissions needed.)

Local LLM runs language models on your iPhone. No account is required. Chat, ask about photos, work with documents and use live voice. With Canvas, build websites, interactive pages and games from a conversation, then preview and edit them in the app. Features depend on the selected model. Download models from the catalog, or use Apple’s on-device model on supported devices when available. Core AI models require iOS 27 or later. Other supported models remain available on older systems. Inference and conversation history stay on your device. Model downloads, the catalog and model artwork use the network. Optional Web Search sends a query derived from your message to Tavily and may read result websites. Weather requests use Apple geocoding and WeatherKit for the requested city, without requesting device location. Voice input prefers on-device recognition. If it is unavailable or fails, Apple’s online speech service may process audio when network speech recognition is enabled. You can disable this in Privacy settings. Requires iOS 17 or later. Model availability depends on your device, OS, memory and storage. Downloads require internet; supported offline chat works after setup. Models can make mistakes. Do not rely on replies for medical, legal or financial decisions.
