ExplOdin turns overwhelm into clarity. It's a warm, playful wellness companion for anyone who freezes on decisions or feels their anxiety spike when choices pile up — a way to steady yourself in the moment and think a choice all the way through. MEET YOUR MOOD-ORB A living companion that mirrors how you feel — it puffs up and "explodes" when you're overwhelmed, then breathes and settles as you work through things. Watching it calm down is oddly satisfying, and it makes progress feel real. STEADY YOURSELF IN THE MOMENT When stress spikes, tap one button for fast, evidence-based relief — physiological sighs, box breathing, 5-4-3-2-1 grounding, muscle release, and more. A simple 0–100 stress gauge (your own self-rating) shows it easing. THINK THE CHOICE THROUGH Break any hard decision down with clear, guided frameworks — a weighted matrix, pros & cons, impact vs effort, values fit, and 10-10-10. ExplOdin does honest arithmetic on the weights and scores you set to surface a Clarity Score — you can always see exactly why, and the decision is always yours. LEARN FROM WHAT HAPPENS Log how a decision actually turned out, spot your patterns over time, and build real confidence. Gentle streaks and milestones keep it encouraging, never shaming. A LITTLE AI HELP WITH WORDS (never with the decision) Stuck at a blank page or a spiraling thought? Optional "Untangle" prompts suggest options, reframe a worry into one kind next step, or help you reflect — it only ever helps you find words; it never scores or makes your choice. EXPLODIN PRO (optional subscription) The relief tools and core decision loop are always free. Pro unlocks the Values and 10-10-10 frameworks, unlimited decisions and criteria, full history, stress-pattern insights, unlimited AI, and extra orb looks. - Monthly ($6.99) or annual ($39.99), 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 period ends; manage or cancel anytime in Settings ExplOdin is a wellness and decision-support tool, not therapy, and it does not provide medical, mental-health, or crisis care.

Layerly is a calm, organized home for your supplements, medications, and peptides, giving you a clear view of your daily routine and how it all fits together. If your routine has grown past what you can hold in your head, Layerly makes it easier to see what you're taking, when you're taking it, and where things may overlap. THE LAYERS OF YOUR ROUTINE Keep your supplements, medications, and peptides organized with the ingredients, doses, schedules, brands, and reasons you take them. Add a supplement simply by taking a photo of the Supplement Facts label, or enter it manually. Search your stack anytime and quickly find what you need. KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TAKING AND WHEN See your routine organized by morning, midday, evening, and bedtime. With a tap, mark each dose taken or skipped, see your 7-day adherence, and use optional reminders to help you stay on track. See when you're running low so you know when a refill may be coming up. SEE HOW IT ALL FITS TOGETHER Layerly brings the different parts of your routine into one clear picture. Your 0–100 Clarity Score looks at ingredient overlaps, interactions and timing, adherence, and how completely your stack is set up. See each area individually, along with the findings behind it, so you know what may be worth a closer look. SPOT OVERLAPS AND UPPER LIMITS See when the same ingredient appears across multiple products. Layerly adds up the amounts across your stack and compares the total with published Tolerable Upper Intake Levels from the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, making overlaps easier to spot. COST AND SPEND See your estimated monthly spend, including costs associated with ingredients that overlap across multiple products. TIMING AND INTERACTION AWARENESS Layerly highlights well-documented interaction and timing considerations across your stack, including common absorption concerns and drug-supplement cautions, with helpful context and topics you may want to discuss with your doctor or pharmacist. CONNECT YOUR ROUTINE TO HOW YOU FEEL Use daily check-ins to notice patterns between your routine and how you feel over time. BRING IT TO YOUR APPOINTMENT Create a clear summary of your stack, doses and adherence to share with your doctor or pharmacist. WHAT'S FREE Up to 15 items, the full daily routine, reminders, adherence, refill projections, your Clarity Score and how many overlaps and signals were found, plus three AI actions a day. LAYERLY PRO (optional subscription) - Every overlap and upper-limit figure in detail - Every interaction and timing note, with prioritized insights - The shareable report for your provider - Effect correlations from your daily check-ins - Cost and Spend insights, including ingredient overlaps - Unlimited items and unlimited AI Monthly or annual, with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation; it auto-renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends, and you can manage or cancel it in your Apple account Settings. ABOUT THE AI When you photograph a label, the photo is sent to be read and is never stored - only the text it contains is kept. Layerly can also write a short plain-language note about an item you have saved. It is generated from that item's own fields. NOT MEDICAL ADVICE Layerly is an educational and organizational tool. It does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, and it does not tell you what to take or how much. Insights about overlaps, interactions and timing are general awareness grounded in public references. Peptides are organizer-only - no dosing or sourcing guidance. Always talk with your healthcare provider or pharmacist before changing any supplement or medication.
