Le defi

ADHD makes consistency hard: delayed rewards do not land, complex apps get abandoned, and a single missed day kills a streak and the motivation with it. Most habit apps ignore all three.

Bien-etre, pas un soin medical. Aura est un outil d'auto-assistance pour le bien-etre et ne remplace pas des soins medicaux ou de sante mentale professionnels. Il ne diagnostique, ne traite ni ne guerit aucune affection. En cas de crise, contactez les services d'urgence locaux.

Comment Aura aide

Instant dopamine, not delayed

Every check-in pays AURI coins and a visible reward right away — the immediate feedback ADHD brains respond to, instead of a payoff weeks out.

A coach that nudges first

The proactive AI coach reviews your last days and pings you with the next small step before motivation drops — external structure ADHD often needs.

One bad day will not break you

Streak Freeze protects a streak on a day you cannot complete it, so a single miss does not trigger the all-or-nothing spiral.

Zero clutter, one-tap logging

Swipe to complete, haptic feedback, no menus to get lost in — low friction so the app gets used, not abandoned.

Questions frequentes

What makes a habit tracker good for ADHD?

Instant rewards, very low friction, external reminders and forgiving streaks. ADHD brains struggle with delayed payoff and all-or-nothing thinking, so Aura pays AURI on every check-in, has a proactive AI coach, and offers Streak Freeze so one miss does not end a streak.

Is Aura free for ADHD habit building?

Yes. Habit tracking, streaks, AURI rewards and weekly AI insights are free. Premium (from EUR 4.99/month) adds unlimited habits and the always-on proactive coach.

Can an app replace ADHD treatment?

No. Aura is a self-help wellness tool, not medical care or a substitute for ADHD diagnosis or treatment. It helps with routines and structure; for diagnosis or medication, consult a qualified clinician.

How does Aura help with ADHD motivation?

It externalizes motivation: instant AURI rewards give immediate dopamine, the AI coach supplies reminders and next steps, and gamification keeps it engaging — so you rely less on internal willpower that ADHD makes inconsistent.

Will I lose my streak if I have a bad day?

Not if you use Streak Freeze. It protects a streak on a day you cannot complete a habit, which prevents the demotivating all-or-nothing reset that makes many ADHD users quit.
