A one-person software studio
Software that works with your brain.
I'm Lydia. I make calm tools for focusing, following through on your day, and remembering the people you care about. They're designed around ADHD and easily-overwhelmed minds — starting with mine — and gentler for everyone because of it.
One calm system
not just productivity apps — focus, your days, your people, and soon movement and rest.
No streaks, no guilt
nothing to protect, no chains to break — the apps never punish a hard day.
Free to start
every app has a real free tier, and one account works across them all.
The apps
Each one carries a different kind of hard day. Start where your brain needs it — they're free to try, and they get along.
FlowMate
A gentle focus timer that keeps you oriented in time. Spoken updates you choose, ambient sound, and sessions that flex from a quick start to guided deep work — no jarring alarms.
JustToday
One calm plan for today. Pick a few things, match them to your energy — Soft, Steady, or Focused — and do one at a time. Everything else waits in Later without nagging you.
Circles
A calm, private journal for the people you care about — names, life updates, and what to ask about next time. For minds that care a lot and forget a lot. Not a CRM.

Why I build these
Most productivity tools assume steady energy, a reliable memory, and a brain that does what it's told. Mine has other plans — and building around that, instead of against it, turns out to make software with less friction for every kind of busy, overloaded mind.
Everything here started as something I needed myself: a timer that talks instead of alarming, a plan that fits the day I'm actually having, a quiet place for the small details about people I never want to drop. The apps grow through research and through the people who use them.
The goal has never changed: systems that flex with you, not against you.

“Thank you so much for developing these tools. They are truly supportive and provide a much needed reminder to let up on the gas pedal instead of crushing it harder when things don't seem to be working.”
— Christine, FlowMate user
