Read full description

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.

Your phone fights for your attention. FYNC gives it back. FYNC combines a real app blocker with planning, journaling, and an AI companion – and with the physical FYNC Card, focusing becomes a deliberate act: tap the card, distractions off. FOCUS THAT ACTUALLY STICKS β€’ Start and end focus sessions with a tap of your FYNC Card (NFC) β€’ Focus profiles for every situation: Work, Study, Sleep, Deep Focus – you decide which apps get blocked β€’ Strict Mode: your session only ends when you consciously end it with your card – no excuses, no doomscrolling β€’ Emergency unlocks in case your card isn't at hand β€’ Screen time at a glance: see where your time really goes PLAN YOUR DAY β€’ Calendar-style planner with Apple Calendar sync β€’ Todos with times, attachments, and locations – swipe to complete β€’ Goals and routines that keep you on track long-term JOURNAL & TIMELINE β€’ Capture thoughts and moods – with mood scale, tags, photos, and places β€’ Your timeline shows what your days really look like β€’ Journal map: memories right where they happened KIRA – YOUR AI COMPANION β€’ Chat with Kira or just talk – naturally, by text or voice β€’ Kira creates journal entries, todos, and events straight from the conversation β€’ Reflect on your day, sort your thoughts, plan your next step THE FYNC CARD The FYNC Card is a physical NFC card (available separately). It turns focusing into something as deliberate as flipping a switch – and permanently unlocks the focus features. Activating it for the first time also gets you 14 days of FYNC Plus for free. You can use the app without a card, too. FYNC PLUS Kira, Journal, and Timeline are part of FYNC Plus (monthly or yearly subscription). The subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it anytime in your App Store account settings.
