MindGlitter is a calm, science-first regulation tool for neurodivergent brains. When hyperfocus takes over, your body turns down its cues for hunger, thirst and rest — and hours later the crash hits. MindGlitter is the external nudge your brain isn't giving you. THE REGULATION RESERVE Three gentle channels — hydration, fuel and rest — fold into one simple reserve that shows when you're steady and when it's time to top up, before a spiral starts. It's an estimate from what you log, never a medical measurement. THE 3-BIN SNACK METHOD Pick one protein, one carb and one healthy fat to steady your energy without the decision fatigue. STATIONS & MAINTENANCE Set up hydration and snack stations, then keep them stocked with simple restock reminders — so the fuel is already there before you need it. VOICE NUDGES IN YOUR OWN VOICE Record calm spoken reminders that cut through hyperfocus where buzzers get ignored. LOW-SENSORY BY DESIGN Soft colors, slow motion and plain language. Nothing ever reads as alarm. MINDGLITTER PRO (optional subscription) Unlock spoken voice nudges, focus-session interventions, maintenance calendars, unlimited stations, the full multi-day insights and grocery export. - $9.99/month or $59.99/year, with a 7-day free trial - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation; auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage or cancel anytime in Settings MindGlitter is a wellness and self-management tool, not medical advice.

A nursery tag says "full sun" and means it for everywhere. Gardenory works out what that rating means in YOUR bed, at your latitude, on today's date. FULL SUN, HERE Tell Gardenory which way a bed faces, how big it is, and what stands near it. It computes the light that bed really receives, month by month — and it does not simply add up hours. Four hours of morning light on an east-facing bed carries roughly half the energy of four midday hours on a south-facing one, which is exactly why generic advice recommends tomatoes for beds that cannot ripen them. THE SUN RIBBON Watch the sun travel over your bed in plan view, with the shadow of your fence or maple sweeping across it. Drag through the day, or through the year. IDENTIFY A PLANT, HONESTLY Photograph a plant and Gardenory commits to an answer or tells you plainly that it is not sure. It will happily give you the genus rather than invent a species, it never guesses a variety from a photo — no photograph can separate one tomato cultivar from another — and it shows no accuracy percentage, because a number reads as certainty. It never tells you whether something is safe to eat. FOUR ANSWERS, NOT ONE ZONE Your hardiness zone describes winter cold and nothing else. Gardenory gives you winter minimum, summer heat days, season length and per-bed light as four separate answers, and says out loud what the zone cannot tell you. FROST AS A RANGE Published frost dates are probabilities, not deadlines. You get an even-money date and a safe date about a fortnight apart, and your own logged frosts replace the estimate over time. SOWING WINDOWS THAT SUBTRACT PROPERLY Indoor start including the germination lag most tools leave out, transplant, and a last safe sow date that subtracts days to maturity, the autumn slowdown AND your harvest window from first frost. ONE MESSAGE A DAY Everything due, batched into a single reminder at an hour you choose. Never one alert per plant. Reminders are scheduled on your phone; nothing is sent from a server. YOUR RECORD, EXPORTABLE Every date holds both a plan and what actually happened. Export the whole thing to CSV at any time, on any plan. FREE, ALWAYS Your beds, the sun model, the journal, the calendar, the zone card, frost dates, CSV export and 10 plant identifications a month. GARDENORY PRO (optional subscription) Rotation Guard, succession ladders, days-to-maturity learned from your own harvest dates, a variety leaderboard, the garden-centre fit check, seed-lot germination rates and unlimited identifications. - $3.99 per month or $24.99 per year, each with a 14-day free trial - Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your Apple ID is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the period ending. Manage or cancel in your Apple ID Settings. Gardenory asks for no location permission and contains no GPS. It offers horticultural information, not professional agricultural or safety advice.
