Aura is a gentle focus timer for ADHD minds — built for people who freeze up at aggressive productivity apps. Most focus apps treat your brain like a discipline problem. Loud alarms. Big red STOP buttons. Guilt when you break a streak. For a lot of us, that just adds shame to the spiral. Aura does the opposite. It's calm, quiet, and forgiving — designed around how focus actually works for neurodivergent minds. WHAT MAKES AURA DIFFERENT A timer that flows with you Start a 25-minute session with a soft breathing visual. When time's up, there's no alarm — the timer simply keeps counting up if you're still in flow, with a quiet "Going further" label. You stop when you're ready. A gentle 90-minute cap reminds you to rest. Streaks without the shame Build a 7-day streak and celebrate real milestones. Miss a day? It just resets to 1 — no guilt messages, no "you ruined your streak." Progress, not punishment. Daily intention Set one clear focus each morning. No endless to-do lists — just the single thing that matters right now. Share your focus Turn a finished session into a beautiful card — overlay your stats on your own photo and share to Instagram Stories, Messages, anywhere. Your focus, your way. Self-compassion, not hustle culture Calming quotes and gentle check-ins instead of "crush your goals" pressure. "Rest is resistance." "Your nervous system is sending a message: slow down." WHO AURA IS FOR - Adults with ADHD who struggle with task initiation and overwhelm - Students who need a calm study timer that won't add anxiety - Anyone tired of productivity apps that feel like a threat Aura is a sanctuary for focus. No pressure. No shame. Just presence. — Aura offers an optional Premium subscription (monthly or yearly with a 7-day free trial). You can use Aura's core focus sessions without subscribing.

Speak. It's saved. It's organized. meew turns your voice into organized life. Hold the button, say what's on your mind, and let it go: on-device AI transcribes what you said and files it in the right drawer, automatically. "Buy milk and coffee" becomes a grocery list, sorted by aisle. "Dentist Friday at 2pm" becomes a calendar entry with an alarm. "Take ibuprofen every 8 hours" becomes a medication with reminders, stock tracking and an adherence history you can show your doctor. "What if the app had a dark mode" becomes an idea, kept safe. No typing. No choosing folders. No friction between thinking and saving. YOUR DRAWERS Everything lands in smart drawers: Groceries, Calendar, Medications, Ideas, Links, Reminders. Create your own drawers too ("Renovation", "Work", "Trip") and meew learns to route your thoughts to them by name.
