Beat time blindness and task paralysis with AuraPlan, the visual daily planner built for ADHD, autistic, and neurodivergent minds. Say your goal out loud, watch a giant countdown ring tick down, and finally see your day. WHY AURAPLAN IS DIFFERENT Most planners hand you a blank grid and blame you when it stays empty. AuraPlan starts with your energy and your words. A friendly AI copilot turns "clean the kitchen" or "study for finals" into small, timed steps with icons and pastel colors. A ring-shaped visual timer shrinks in real time, so five minutes actually feels like five minutes. BUILT FOR NEURODIVERGENT BRAINS - Visual countdown ring, not a shrinking bar of guilt - Pastel palette designed to prevent sensory overload - Every tap answers with gentle haptic feedback - VoiceOver, Dynamic Type and high-contrast Dark Mode - No streaks, no shaming, no red numbers everywhere WHAT YOU CAN DO 1. AI COPILOT — Type or speak a fuzzy intent. Aura returns a step-by-step routine you can drop into today with one tap. 2. VISUAL TIMELINE — See the whole day as color blocks. Long-press and drag to reshape it in seconds. 3. FOCUS TIMER — A ring so big you can read it from across the room. Overrun turns soft red instead of stopping you dead. 4. ROUTINES LIBRARY — Save "Morning Launch", "Deep Work" or "Wind Down" once, apply forever. 5. ENERGY-AWARE PLANNING — Tap Low Energy and AuraPlan quietly moves your hardest tasks to tomorrow. 6. INSIGHTS — Weekly focus time, completion rate and energy patterns, without judgment. WHO IT HELPS - Adults and teens with ADHD or executive dysfunction - Autistic users who thrive on predictable routines - Students juggling classes, jobs and side quests - Remote workers, writers and creators fighting context-switching - Anyone who has ever stared at a to-do list and just… frozen PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your day is your business. AuraPlan works fully offline in Anonymous Mode — no account required to try the core loop. Sync uses strong TLS, and only anonymized event names leave your device. GDPR and CCPA supported, with one-tap export and deletion. FREE VS PRO Free forever: visual timeline, up to three routines, core focus timer. AuraPlan Pro unlocks unlimited AI planning, unlimited routines, weekly insight reports, custom themes and icons, and future Apple Watch complications and calendar two-way sync. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple ID settings. Ready to make time visible?
