StutterPractice helps people who stutter build fluency and confidence through structured, rhythm-based speech practice. PRACTICE MODE Add words or sentences to your personal library and practice them one at a time. A metronome guides your speech rhythm, breaking each word into syllables so you can pace yourself naturally. Adjust the tempo to match your comfort level and build up gradually. LIVE MODE Use Live Mode during real conversations or reading aloud. The metronome runs in the background through your headphones or phone speaker, keeping your rhythm steady without interrupting your flow. Enable Gradual Fade to slowly reduce the metronome over time as your natural rhythm takes over. DESIGNED FOR FLUENCY - Syllable-by-syllable guidance - Adjustable BPM from 40 to 180 - Audio, haptic, and wrist feedback options - Gradual fade-out to build independence - Clean, distraction-free interface Paced is a practice companion, not a medical device. For best results, use it alongside guidance from a speech-language pathologist.

Transurf

Read full description

Transurf is a quiet, identity-based habit and journaling app. It is built for people who don't want another streak counter or productivity scoreboard โ€” they want a daily ritual that gently reflects who they are becoming. The idea is simple. Every action you take is a small vote for the type of person you are. Tiny daily acts โ€” making a sentence, taking one breath, walking instead of scrolling โ€” accumulate into the identity you carry. Transurf turns those acts into a calm visualization: two soft curves on screen, your current life and the life you are moving toward, with a single luminous dot drifting between them. THE DAILY RITUAL (under 90 seconds) A short visualization. A handful of taps to mark which small habits you kept. A gentle slider that asks how tightly you are gripping today โ€” because the lifeline shifts through letting go, not pushing. An optional one-sentence reflection. That is it. No streaks. No scores. No fire emojis or warning notifications. Missing a day is fine. The point is gentle drift, not aggressive optimization. WHAT YOU SET UP ONCE On first launch, Transurf asks four quiet questions: - The lifeline you are on now. Not in judgment, just observation. - The person you are becoming. Identity, not outcome. - One scene from that life. A morning. A moment. A picture you can return to. - One to three anchor habits โ€” tiny daily acts the person on your target lifeline would do. Use the formula After [current habit], I will [new tiny habit]. - One to three pendulums โ€” patterns that keep you tied to your current line. THE LIFELINE VISUALIZATION The home screen is a calm full-canvas drawing. Two parallel curving gradient lines: your current life muted and fading, your target life luminous and ahead. A small dot represents you. Each daily check-in nudges the dot. Days where you grip too hard cause the dot to wobble โ€” a small, honest reminder that excess attachment to the goal is itself the obstacle. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything you write โ€” your lifelines, your slide, your anchors and pendulums, your check-ins, your reflections โ€” stays on your device using Apple's SwiftData. Transurf has no analytics, no third-party services, no AI calls, no account, no server. If you delete the app, the data goes with it. WHO IT IS FOR - People rebuilding a daily writing or reflection habit - People who have tried streak-based habit apps and bounced off - People drawn to identity-based change (After [current habit], I will...) over goal-based pressure - Anyone who wants a still, quiet, beautifully drawn corner of their phone WHO IT IS NOT FOR - Anyone looking for treatment, therapy, or medical guidance โ€” Transurf is a journaling and reflection tool, not a clinical product - People who love progress bars, scores, and achievement screens โ€” those are intentionally absent A NOTE ON THE NAME Transurf is a play on Reality Transurfing, an idea that you are always on a lifeline that matches your thought energy and that small shifts in attention move you between them. We do not ask you to believe that. We just thought it was a beautiful frame for the very real, very practical work of identity-shaping habits. A morning ritual. A breathing space. A drawing of where you are heading. That is the app.
