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.

Feeling lost after a layoff, a caregiving season or a life change? Joyful Career Design helps midlife and older women design work that fits the life they actually have — starting with who you are, not with a job board. DISCOVER WHAT FITS YOU • The Compass: a thirty-question interest inventory that gives you your three-letter work code • The Readiness check: twelve statements that show the strengths you bring to a change • Your life, counted in: the hours you can give, when your energy is best, who you look after and whether you need to work from home • Work shapes ranked for you, with a plain breakdown of why each one fits WALK YOUR PATH • Twenty-four practical steps across five stages: settle, discover, focus, try and step out • Small experiments: try a kind of work for a few days, log how it felt, and let the verdict move your compass • An opportunity board for the leads you find yourself, with next actions and a nudge when a lead goes quiet TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF ALONG THE WAY • A guided journal with a joy rating for each entry • A quick pressure and energy check-in • Gentle daily reminders, only if you turn them on FREE, AND ONE PAYMENT FOR THE REST Everything above works for free, with no account needed. A single one-time purchase unlocks the full design kit: every work shape ranked, the full fit breakdown, side-by-side compare, your whole history, the joy-and-pressure pattern, a weekly design review, your strengths story, unlimited leads and experiments, and export. It is not a subscription: nothing renews. Your answers stay yours. An optional account backs up and syncs your work, and you can delete it and everything in it from inside the app. Joyful Career Design is a planning and reflection tool. It does not give financial, legal, medical or employment advice, and nothing in it is a guarantee of work or income.
