HOW IT WORKS Instead of asking "what should you do today?", Spark Pulse asks: how is your brain right now? β€’ High energy β†’ deep, high-impact tasks β€’ Distracted β†’ short activation routines β€’ Overwhelmed β†’ recovery and reset flows FEATURES β€’ Daily brain-state check-in (morning & evening) β€’ Adaptive focus sessions based on your energy state β€’ Routine & calendar system aligned with your cognitive load β€’ Fast idea capture β€” one tap, done β€’ Behavioral insights: focus, sleep, energy patterns over time β€’ Cloud sync & backup β€” your data survives reinstalls WHY SPARK PULSE Traditional apps manage tasks.
