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.

Luminous Living is a warm, non-judgmental self-care companion for anyone who keeps putting themselves last — people living with ADHD or burnout, busy caregivers, or anyone who simply wants a fuller life. Most habit apps are built for people who never miss. This one is built for real life. FOUR PARTS OF A WHOLE PERSON Build a routine across Physical, Mental, Spiritual and Rest. Start from a library of small, doable practices or add your own, set a cadence that fits your week, and reorder anything at any time. Editing is meant to be easy, because a routine you can't change is a routine you'll abandon. YOUR RADIANCE GEM One glowing gem answers the only question that matters: how am I tending my light this week? Your Radiance Score blends how evenly you're caring for all four areas, how consistently you show up, the wins you've celebrated recently, and how you've been feeling. It's a gentle reflection, never a grade. A STREAK THAT NEVER SHAMES YOU Miss a day and your streak freezes instead of resetting. Only two in a row starts you over. No guilt, no starting from zero, no all-or-nothing spiral. CELEBRATE THE SMALL WINS Capture any small victory in seconds and watch it bloom. Recent wins lift your Radiance, because progress compounds. REFLECT AND CHECK IN Write freely or follow rotating prompts drawn from gratitude, self-compassion and small-wins research. Take a two-tap mood check-in and see your trend over time. AFFIRMATIONS, ALWAYS FREE A full, categorised affirmations library with a fresh affirmation each day. Read, save your favourites, share the ones that land. This is never behind a paywall. GROUNDED IN REAL RESEARCH The scoring borrows the positively-worded shape of the WHO-5 Well-Being Index, the repetition-over-perfection finding from habit-formation research, and the Never Miss Twice principle. Every claim is cited in the app. FULL RADIANCE (optional subscription) The entire daily loop above is free forever. Full Radiance adds computed depth on top: - Your weekly Radiance Report, with one kind focus for the week ahead - Mood x self-care insights that show what actually lifts you - Full history and 30-day Radiance trends Monthly or annual, with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation; the subscription auto-renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends, and you can manage or cancel it any time in your Apple ID settings. A NOTE ON WHAT THIS IS Luminous Living is a self-care and habit-tracking tool for everyday well-being. It is not a medical device, and nothing in it is medical, psychological or therapeutic advice or a substitute for professional care. Your Radiance Score is not a health assessment, a diagnosis, or a measure of your worth. There's a diamond inside you, already glowing. Let's tend the light.
