Your day-and-night companion

Your day arrives already planned. Calmly, one thing at a time.

Each morning Ankaa suggests your day from your sleep and your calendar. Focus mode shows exactly one step, and routines you miss can simply be caught up.

Night, Morning, Day, Evening.
Every round makes the next one better.

No dashboard you have to open. A cycle that runs with you and learns from every day.

10 PM – 6:30 AM

Collect data

Your Watch records your sleep. Together with your calendar, that becomes your day suggestion in the morning.

6:30 – 9:00 AM

Start gently

Your day arrives already planned: light, normal or full. Then a morning sequence and a back-safe warm-up. No surprises.

9:00 AM – 5:30 PM

One thing at a time

Focus mode shows exactly one step, plus an hourly posture break. Missed something? Catch it up later. No notification chaos.

From 5:30 PM

Wind down calmly

Evening wind-down, a short day reflection, quiet preparation for tomorrow. Then sleep and repeat.

Too many apps. Too much noise. No starting point.

Poor sleep, chronic stress, a phone that won't let go, habits that stick around, money worries, no plan. And a separate app for every problem that knows nothing about the others. It rarely fails for lack of willpower. It fails at the first step. Ankaa brings everything together in one calm system that suggests your day each morning and then shows you one step at a time, rather than more data.

Evidence

Not a hunch: the numbers behind Ankaa

Three research findings explain why Ankaa is built the way it is: calm, one step at a time, visible, and without punishing missed days.

275 ×

a day is how often an active professional gets interrupted on average, roughly every 2 minutes by email, meetings and pings. No wonder the mind overflows. Ankaa's focus mode shows only the one next thing on purpose.

3.9 %

of users still open a typical mental-health app after 15 days (median across 93 apps). An icon on a phone disappears, which is why Ankaa relies on visible anchors like an optional wall display.

66 days

is the median time for a new habit to become automatic (range: 18-254 days). A single missed day does no measurable harm, which is why routines in Ankaa can be caught up.

Calm Focus Mode

For days with too many open tabs

Ankaa takes the planning off your plate. One thing. Now. The rest waits quietly in the background.

Just the one thing, right now

A low-stimulus focus mode hides everything except the next step. Fewer colours, less motion, no number overload. Predictable and calm, the same every day.

Your day, already suggested

Each morning Ankaa reads your sleep and your calendar and suggests one of three days: light, normal or full. You don't plan, you start.

Exactly one step on screen

Focus mode shows the one thing that is next, with its amount and duration. When it is done, the next one appears. Nothing else competes for attention.

Catch up, don't start over

Missed a routine? It waits until later. There is no streak to break and no red banner. Visible, running timers make time tangible rather than just showing clock times.

Hands-free: just listen

A calm voice reads the next step out to you, with no need to look at the screen or read. Handy when reading is too much right now or your hands are busy.

Everything that matters, modular, in one place

Activate only what you need, and add the rest when you're ready. One calm system instead of app chaos.

Sleep & Energy

Your Apple Watch sleep data shapes the morning day suggestion, and an evening wind-down routine helps you close the day.

Day suggestionFrom your sleep and calendar, every morning.

Stress & Calm

Breathing exercises and mini-meditations, with breaks placed at calm points in your day.

Shopping List & Daily Life

A shared shopping list that fills by voice. Sync with Alexa and your iPhone is in preparation. Less to keep in your head, more gets done.

Habit reduction, broadly defined

Snus, smoking, vaping, alcohol, sugar, or screen time: a tracker with a plan, money saved, and support for setbacks. Cut back or quit entirely, all in the same system.

Body Protocol

What your body needs daily (water, movement, sleep, posture breaks). Ankaa tracks it and gives you a calm reminder during the day.

Gym that fits the day

On a light day after a short night, the workout plan goes easier. Over 40 routines with voice timer, back- and posture-safe.

Financial Health

Budgeting, saving and portfolio at a glance, with a weekly number instead of an alert for every transaction. Your money in the same system as your day.

Digital Declutter Assistant

Will keep email, files, to-dos, and calendar tidy: sort, archive, merge duplicates. In preparation, reversible and careful by design, nothing deleted blindly.

Smart Home

Lights and heating follow your morning, focus, and evening phases, without you having to search.

Focus & Screen Time

Daily structure, focus blocks, less doomscrolling. Always one thing at a time, never everything at once.

What Ankaa actually feels like

Calm, clear, back-safe. No sensory overload, real screenshots from the app, not a staged mockup.

Guided in three steps

Choose your topics

Sleep, stress, less snus or smoking, focus, finances. Activate what's pressing you most right now. Add the rest later.

Your day arrives

Each morning a suggestion from your sleep and calendar: light, normal or full. Then focus mode shows one step at a time.

Everything syncs

iPhone, tablet, laptop, and optionally your wall display. One status everywhere, always visible, always current.

Trust

Evidence-grounded. Private by design.

Two things we never compromise on: that the content doesn't harm your body, and that your data belongs to you.

Back-safe & evidence-based

Every movement routine is planned back-safe, including for discomfort from prolonged sitting. The routines follow the clinical guideline on non-specific low back pain (NVL, AWMF nvl-007): movement over rest, gradual progression. No healing claims, no medical advice, but also none of the risky exercises found in generic fitness apps.

GDPR, EU hosting, no data sales

Your health, finance, and everyday data are sensitive, so we treat them that way. Every account is technically isolated, EU hosting is our target, and we never sell your data to advertisers or data brokers. That's exactly how other free apps make their money, and it's something we deliberately don't do.

Different from everything else

instead of single-purpose apps (Finch, Smoke Free, Opal)

Everything in one, modular

One app for mental health, one for smoking, one for screen time, one for money? Ankaa does it all in one system. You activate only what you need.

instead of streak counters

Catch up, not start over

Others reset your streak to zero. In Ankaa a missed routine simply waits until later, and an empty day ring is not a failure.

instead of phone-only

Also on your wall

A physical wall display is a genuine anchor for new habits: visible, present, harder to ignore than an icon buried in your phone.

instead of point solutions (Tiimo, Goblin Tools, Llama Life)

The whole day, calmly connected

Others cover one piece: planning, task breakdown or a focus timer. Ankaa connects the day: a suggested plan, one step at a time, routines you can catch up, plus back health, habit reduction, and finances.

For Business

Ankaa as an employee benefit

Back problems, stress, and addictions cost the economy billions in lost workdays. Ankaa offers employees a calm daily structure at a price well inside the health budget.

Workplace health programmes

Back and musculoskeletal issues are the leading cause of absenteeism. Studies on workplace health programmes in general, not on Ankaa, report fewer absences and a typical ROI of around 2.7 to 15x per euro invested.

€600 workplace-health ceiling

Under §3 No. 34 of the German Income Tax Act, up to €600 per employee per year for health promotion can be tax-free, but only once the measure is certified under §20 SGB V. Ankaa does not currently hold that certification, so until it does the contribution is taxable. Ankaa's price stays well inside the €600 ceiling.

One platform instead of silos

Sleep, stress, habit reduction, back health, and finances in one app, plus an optional wall display in the break room. GDPR-compliant, works council agreement template included.

Frequently asked

What exactly is Ankaa?

A calm companion for daily structure. Each morning your day arrives already planned, from your sleep and your calendar: light, normal or full. Focus mode shows exactly one step, and routines you miss can simply be caught up. Around that sit routines with a voice timer, habit tracking, back-safe movement and finances, in one place instead of single-purpose apps. Ankaa runs on all your devices (phone, tablet, laptop) and optionally as a wall display.

Is Ankaa built for neurodivergent people?

Ankaa is built for anyone who wants a calm daily structure, and its design is deliberately neurodivergent-friendly: one step at a time, no streaks, fewer colours and less motion, and routines you can catch up instead of starting over. Ankaa is not a medical product and does not replace diagnosis or therapy.

Can I use Ankaa hands-free by voice?

Yes. A calm voice reads every routine step aloud, with its duration and with left and right as separate steps, so you don't need to read or look at the screen. That is handy when your hands are busy or reading is too much right now.

Isn't this too much at once?

No. Ankaa is modular and calm at its core. You activate only the topics that are pressing you most right now (for example sleep and less snus) and add the rest later. The focus mode hides everything except the next step anyway.

Which habits or addictions does it cover?

Snus and nicotine pouches, smoking, vaping, alcohol, sugar, and screen time. Cut back or quit entirely, with a plan, money saved, and support for setbacks.

How safe are the back exercises?

Every movement routine is planned back-safe, including for discomfort from prolonged sitting. The routines follow the clinical guideline on non-specific low back pain (NVL, AWMF nvl-007). This is explicitly not a healing claim and does not replace medical advice, but it keeps you away from the risky exercises found in generic fitness apps.

Do I need an Apple Watch or a specific device?

No. Ankaa runs entirely in the browser on the phone, tablet or laptop you already have, with nothing to install. An Apple Watch is optional: its sleep data feeds your morning day suggestion. Focus mode, routines, tracking and finances all work without any wearable, and you can enter values by hand too.

What can the declutter assistant do?

It keeps email, files, to-dos, and calendar tidy: sort, archive, merge duplicates. All actions are reversible and handled carefully, nothing is deleted blindly. The scope of features per provider (e.g. Outlook, Google) grows incrementally.

What does Ankaa cost?

Free to start. Pro costs €6.99/month or €59/year, and you can try it free for 14 days. Lifetime is €299 one-time; the first 100 spots get Lifetime at the founder price of €150. Purchases happen only on the web, securely via Stripe.

When does it launch?
