A gentler way through your day. benzaiflow is a calm daily planner and todo list with Noji — a soft AI companion that learns your real pace and quietly thins the list when the day is already full. Three things, gently. Not nine, anxiously. Most planners shout at you to do more. Noji teaches you when to do less. ENERGY-AWARE PLANNING A two-tap battery check tells Noji how to plan. Tasks get matched to your energy, not the other way around. BREAK IT DOWN, NOT FREEZE UP Stuck on a wall of a task? Noji decomposes it into small, dopamine-friendly steps with the context that matters: cognitive load, hyperfocus risk, whether a break is required after. QUIET BY DESIGN No streaks. No guilt. No red bars. No notifications you didn't ask for. BUILT FOR ADHD BRAINS Every task carries the metadata your brain actually needs — so a long list stops looking like one undifferentiated wall of dread. Free to start; Plus unlocks deeper chats and unlimited projects. Cancel any time. Built for the brain you have, not the one you are told to have.

Friday is a personal AI that learns from your digital life — email, calendar, documents, health data, habits — and builds a private model of how you actually live and decide. Instead of waiting for prompts like a chatbot, Friday works in the background: spotting patterns across your history, flagging decisions that look like past mistakes, protecting your time, and handling routine tasks on your behalf. It's built on a personal knowledge graph that fine-tunes on your own data, so it gets more useful the longer you use it. Data encrypted, with granular permissions over what it sees and what it's allowed to do. Not an assistant. A second brain that runs alongside yours.
