Paro vs Yigri

Starting is the hardest part. You know what you need to do. You've been meaning to do it. But something about sitting down alone and beginning — that part is harder than it sounds. If that feels familiar, you're not broken. You just might work better with someone nearby. That's body doubling. And that's what Paro is. Body doubling is a focus technique used by people with ADHD and executive function challenges: working in the presence of another person makes starting — and staying with a task — significantly easier. Research shows that up to 85% of neurodivergent people report meaningful improvement in task completion when working alongside someone else. The problem with most body doubling tools: they require a camera, a scheduled time slot, and a stranger you've never met. For many people, that creates more friction than the task itself. Paro is different. Open the app whenever you're ready. No booking. No camera. No strangers. Tell your buddy what you're working on, set how long you want to focus, and begin. Your buddy sits with you the whole time — checking in at the halfway point, celebrating when you finish. HOW IT WORKS When you open Paro, your buddy greets you. You tell them what you're working on — even just a rough idea is enough. You choose how long you'd like to focus: anywhere from 10 minutes to two hours. Then you start. While you work, ambient sound plays softly in the background — the kind of gentle, realistic sounds that signal "someone else is here." At the halfway point, your buddy checks in. When you're done, they acknowledge that you showed up and did the thing. That's it. No complexity. Just a quiet companion who's always available. YOUR BUDDY Paro gives you a named AI buddy to work alongside. Your buddy doesn't lecture you, track your habits, or tell you what you should be doing. They're just there — warm, non-judgmental, ready whenever you are. Pick a name that feels right. Pick a voice that feels comfortable. Make them yours.

A QUIET TOOL FOR PEOPLE WHO NEED TO GET THINGS DONE Paro isn't trying to be your therapist, your coach, or your productivity system. It's a small, reliable tool that makes starting a little easier. That's all it needs to be. https://paro-web.vercel.app/privacy https://paro-web.vercel.app/terms https://paro-web.vercel.app/support

Your watch tells you what you ran. Yigri helps you understand what it meant. Yigri is a running analysis app for experienced runners who train with intent. Connect completed runs from Apple Health, Garmin, COROS, or Strava. Add your training plan from TrainingPeaks, Runna, Final Surge, or a screenshot. Yigri brings the two together. SEE WHETHER THE WORK IS WORKING Weekly Readout compares recent training with your personal baseline. See how Aerobic Efficiency and Race-Speed Fitness are moving, what changed, and which runs drove the result. UNDERSTAND EACH RUN Run Pulse reads easy and long runs against comparable recent efforts. Weather and terrain stay in context, so one hot, humid, or hilly day does not tell the whole story. CHECK THE PLAN AGAINST REALITY For matched workouts, Yigri shows how closely the completed session followed the intended structure and pace. Review the overall execution score and the segments behind it. KNOW WHAT TO WATCH NEXT See the strongest signals, possible drags, and the next question worth watching. Yigri explains low-confidence or incomplete data instead of pretending every run supports a firm conclusion.
