Life is a life companion powered by Synheart's Human State Interface (HSI). It reads your behavioral biosignal and contextual data — how you type, your heart rhythm and what's going on from a wearable, your pauses, your rhythm — and gives you back a clearer sense of your own state. Focus. Stress. Recovery. Mental load. The things you usually feel but can't quite name. No content. No labels. No verdicts. Just your own patterns, in plain language. WHAT HSI ACTUALLY IS The Human State Interface is a new way for your devices to understand you — not through what you say or write, but through the signals your body and behavior naturally produce. Typing rhythm. Heart rate variability. Pauses. Bursts. Effort. Life turns those signals into a few honest indicators you can actually use through the day. YOUR DAILY READ • Readiness: how prepared your mind seems for focused work today • Regulation: Regulated, Mixed, or Dysregulated, based on how steady your focus has been • Mental Load: how demanding your day actually looked • Restorative: how rested your body is, the reserve your mind leans on • Focus Stability, Attention Continuity, Typing Effort, Engagement Capacity • Rhythm, Burstiness, Stress, Recovery, Strain — live, in the moment SYNI, YOUR PRIVATE COMPANION Syni is the conversational side of Life. Stressed, overwhelmed, or just curious about why today feels off — Syni reads your recent HSI signals and talks with you about what they suggest. It runs on-device. Conversations stay on your device. BEHAVIORAL + BIOSIGNAL, TOGETHER • Behavioral: the Synheart Keyboard captures the shape of your typing — never the words • Biosignal: pair a wearable to add heart-rhythm context like HRV and recovery • Either works alone. Together, the read gets richer. PRIVACY IS THE FOUNDATION, NOT A FEATURE • No text, passwords, or content ever captured • All processing on-device by default • Wearables are optional • Export or delete your data anytime • No emotion labels stored, no diagnoses SYNHEART PLUS Cloud Syni, full history, and the web dashboard — your companion, on any device. • Unlimited data history (Free is 30 days) • Encrypted cloud backup • Multi-device sync • Long-term trends across weeks and months A NOTE ON WHAT LIFE IS NOT Life is not a medical device. It does not diagnose. It does not score you as a person. It describes patterns in your behavior and biosignals — that's it. A "Mixed" reading is information, not a problem to fix. Trends matter more than any single window. Human signal intelligence, built privacy-first. A product of Synheart.

Nilove is the community app built for East Africans. Whether you are in Addis, Asmara, Mogadishu, Nairobi, Khartoum, or part of the diaspora in DC, London, Toronto, or beyond, Nilove brings together the events, places, roommates, and people who share your culture, language, and faith. This is not a generic social app translated for the diaspora. It is a small, deliberate community built for Habesha, Eritrean, Somali, Sudanese, Kenyan, Tanzanian, and Ugandan users by people who grew up the same way. WHAT YOU CAN DO ON NILOVE: Events Find cultural gatherings, faith events, weddings, holiday celebrations, and community meetups happening near you. From Meskel and Ethiopian Christmas to Eid prayers and Ramadan iftars, find what is happening in your city. Browse free. Premium members can also submit events for the whole community to see. Places Discover Habesha restaurants, halal markets, hair salons, churches, mosques, and East African owned businesses near you. Filter by city, food, and category. Roommates Find a roommate who shares your language, your food, and your lifestyle. Listings include rent, neighborhood, bedrooms, lease, lifestyle preferences (quiet, social, religious, vegetarian), and photos. Reach out directly to hosts. No agency fees. Messages Talk to people you connect with on the app in a clean, focused inbox. Real names, real photos, real conversations. Dating and matches (optional) If you would also like to meet someone for dating or a long-term relationship within the community, you can turn on Dating and matches from Account Settings. This adds a Connect tab with profiles you can browse, like, and chat with. It is completely optional. The community features above work whether or not you use this. WHO NILOVE IS FOR: East African young adults and immigrants who want to stay connected to their roots while building a life abroad or back home. WHY NILOVE IS DIFFERENT: Built specifically for East African languages, faiths, and ways of life. Available in English, Amharic, Tigrinya, Somali, Swahili, and Arabic. Calendar events for Orthodox Christian, Muslim, Catholic, Protestant, and traditional holidays. Heritage and language filters that actually mean something to our community. SAFETY: Photos are reviewed by AI moderation on upload. Every report on a user, event, or listing is reviewed by the Nilove team within 24 hours. Bad actors are removed for good. Block anyone, anytime, without notice. PRIVACY: Your phone number is never shown to other users. Your full last name is never shown. We never sell your data. NILOVE+ SUBSCRIPTION: Nilove+ is an optional auto-renewing subscription that unlocks unlimited roommate browsing, monthly event submissions, and advanced filters (heritage, faith, language). Subscription options and current prices are shown inside the app at the time of purchase. Available plans include weekly, monthly, every 3 months, and annual.

Your subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period, at the same price as the selected plan. You can manage your subscription and turn off auto-renewal at any time by going to your Account Settings in the App Store after purchase.
