Vigil

vigil is a monk mode productivity app built for ADHD brains. not another todo list. not another habit tracker. vigil is a daily discipline system calm, minimal, focused. like a monastery for your phone. WHAT VIGIL DOES: BULLET JOURNAL a dot-grid daily page where you log tasks, events, notes, and priorities the way your brain actually thinks. speak your entries by voice or type them. each day a fresh page. no system to learn. HABIT TRACKER a 7-day grid for your daily rituals. mark habits done in two taps. streaks grow. your candle flame grows with them. missing a day doesn't punish you β it just waits for you to return. FOCUS TIMER pomodoro based. 25 minutes of silence. one task only. an animated progress ring fills as you work. session dots track your day. the chime sounds. you built something. MONK MODE AI COACH an AI that knows your tasks, habits, streak, and focus time. gives direct advice, not motivational clichΓ©s. remembers your patterns across conversations. ask it anything β it coaches like a calm, direct mentor, not a chatbot. SMART REMINDERS say "remind me to pay bills on the 15th of every month" or "go walking every day at 9am" β AI understands and sets the reminder automatically. no date pickers. no dropdowns. just natural language. AI MONEY LOG say "paid $30 for PlayStation" or photograph a receipt. AI reads it, categorizes it, and logs it instantly. weekly chart, balance summary, income vs expenses. financial clarity without the spreadsheet. INSIGHTS articles about ADHD, focus, habits, time blindness, and the ADHD tax β illustrated with medieval woodcut art. a new article every day. knowledge that actually applies to your life. DESIGNED FOR ADHD BRAINS vigil is built around how ADHD brains actually work. time blindness, task initiation, habit consistency, emotional regulation β every feature addresses a real ADHD challenge. the monk mode aesthetic is intentional. calm reduces overwhelm. minimal means there is nothing to avoid. the dot-grid journal feels like paper, not software. THE STREAK SYSTEM your daily streak is a candle flame that grows as your consistency grows. day 1 is a small flicker. day 7 is a steady flame. day 30 is a roaring fire. day 100 β the flame is steady. milestones are celebrated quietly. no confetti explosions. no loud notifications. just a calm acknowledgment that you showed up again. when the streak breaks, the coach says: "the flame went out. light it again. that is the practice." PRIVACY : your journal entries, tasks, and habits are yours. we never read them, sell them, or share them. voice input is processed locally. your data stays in your Firebase account, encrypted, accessible only to you. no ads. ever. begin.
