About

ActionBuddy

Features
Read full description

Most apps track what you did. Action Buddy helps you understand why you did it, and what to do next. Action Buddy is an AI-powered clarity engine for ambitious people who feel mentally crowded, especially during transitions (new job, exams, burnout, pivots, breakups, “what am I doing with my life?” seasons). Instead of long, text-heavy journaling, the Action Buddy Loop helps you: capture what’s going on (fast), clarify what it means (patterns + triggers), and choose one next step (small, doable, repeatable).

About

Neurable One

Features
Read full description

Neurable One headphones read your brain activity while you work. This app turns that signal into something you can act on. Start a focus session and the app tracks your attention live, against your own baseline rather than an average. When your focus drifts, an audio cue tells you, so you can pull it back before you lose the thread. Every session is saved to your own record, so you can see how today compares with last week. Add a note to any session — a short night, a second coffee, a meeting that wrecked your afternoon. A number means more when you know what was happening around it. WHAT WE MEASURE EEG reads electrical activity at the surface of your head. It does not read thoughts, words, images or mood. We measure signal patterns associated with attention and effort, and we report what we measured against what you measured before. When a reading disagrees with how you feel, we do not assume the reading is right. Where the signal was not clean enough to report, you see a dash rather than a guess. Neurable One is a consumer wellness product. It is not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat or monitor any condition. We make no claim that using it improves any cognitive outcome. YOUR DATA We do not sell brain data and we do not use it for advertising. You can ask us to delete your data at any time. Requires Neurable One headphones, sold separately.
