AwareFlow™
Notice your habits before someone else does.
On-device listening. Personalized calibration. A complete awareness practice. No audio ever recorded.
From Sound to Insight
AwareFlow follows a simple loop: listen, understand, reflect, grow. Every step happens on your device. Nothing leaves your phone.
AwareFlow uses your iPhone's microphone to analyze short audio moments in real time. It notices specific sounds — like sniffing or throat clearing — using machine learning models that run entirely on your device.
Raw audio is processed instantly and discarded. It is never recorded, saved, or sent anywhere. Your phone hears it, understands it, and forgets it — all in a fraction of a second.
Each habit has its own dedicated machine learning model, trained on real-world audio data. Rather than one model trying to do everything, AwareFlow uses specialized models — one for sniffing, one for throat clearing — so recognition stays accurate even in noisy environments.
Built on Apple's Core ML framework, these models use CPU-only inference for maximum efficiency — no GPU or Neural Engine wake-ups, and no network dependency.
Currently available: Sniff recognition, throat-clear recognition.
Coming soon: Pen clicking, loud chewing, sighing, foot tapping.
Your environment shapes how sounds are heard. A quiet bedroom is different from a busy office. The Calibration Lab lets you build a personalized sound profile for where you are.
During a short guided session, AwareFlow listens to samples in your environment and measures background noise levels. It creates a spectral signature — a fingerprint of how your sounds appear in that specific space — so recognition can distinguish the sounds that matter from everyday noise.
You can calibrate for multiple locations and recalibrate anytime your surroundings change — a new workspace, a different season, or just a noisier day.
Noticing is just the beginning. AwareFlow also captures the context around each moment — time of day, ambient noise level, weather conditions, and schedule density — so you can start to see why patterns show up when they do.
After a session, you're invited to check in with how you're feeling. These optional reflections take just a few seconds, but over time they reveal connections between your emotional state and your habits that you'd never notice on your own.
AwareFlow never asks you to "log your problems." It asks, "How are you feeling?" — because curiosity surfaces more truth than compliance ever could.
Most apps set goals. AwareFlow sets intentions. The difference matters.
A goal is binary — you hit it or you miss it. An intention is a direction you orient toward. It can't be failed.
Choose from several awareness styles:
You control how nudges reach you — banners, sounds, haptic taps, or a combination — and how often. AwareFlow respects a cooldown period between nudges so you're never overwhelmed.
When you notice an urge, it helps to have something to reach for. AwareFlow includes a toolkit of gentle alternatives — breathing techniques, sensory exercises, and body-based responses you can use anywhere, anytime.
These aren't corrections. They're choices. Slow nasal breathing for 30 seconds. A mindful sip of water. A gentle hum. A quick body scan. Each one gives your body an alternative when the moment arises.
The toolkit is grounded in research on Habit Reversal Training (HRT) — a well-established, evidence-based approach for repetitive behaviors — but delivered with warmth instead of clinical framing. No prescriptions. Just options from your own toolkit.
Every reflection you make becomes part of your personal record — grouped by day, searchable by feelings, notes, or dates.
This isn't a detection log. It's a journal of how your awareness has grown over time. Each entry adds a thread to the bigger picture — surfacing patterns, shifts in feeling, and quiet insights that might otherwise go unnoticed.
You can share individual entries with someone you trust — a partner, a therapist, a friend — as a simple, readable text. A way to look back on meaningful moments together.
AwareFlow shows you patterns, not scorecards.
Instead of "47 sniffs today," you'll see "more active than usual" or "within your usual range" or "quieter than yesterday." Context matters more than counts. Direction matters more than numbers.
Over time, insights reveal connections: "Tuesday afternoons tend to be more active — meetings, maybe?" or "Dry air days show more throat clearing — pretty common." These are observations, not judgments. Information, not grades.
Your streak counts days you engaged with the app — opened it, ran a session, logged a feeling, or even just set your status to "taking a break." Rest maintains the streak. There is no way to break it.
AwareFlow includes a structured series of lessons that walk you through the science and practice of building awareness — from understanding why repetitive behaviors happen, to recognizing your personal patterns, to developing your own response strategies.
The lessons are grounded in research but written in plain, warm language. No clinical terminology. No homework. Just a guided path you can follow at your own pace, with each lesson building on the last.
Topics include: the habit loop, environmental context, the power of noticing, urge surfing, building your personal strategy, and celebrating progress — because progress means growing in awareness, not reaching zero.
