Your day-and-night companion

A companion for your whole day. Not another app.

Ankaa brings daily structure, health, routines, focus and an AI coach into one calm system. It shows what matters now and adapts to the day you are actually having.

Calm by default · especially helpful for ADHD and sensory overload · your data stays yours

One identityWeb & PWAiPhone & WatchAndroidWall displayGDPR · no data sales

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 sleep, HRV and resting heart rate. That becomes your plan in the morning.

6:30 – 9:00 AM

Start gently

Morning sequence, recovery briefing from the coach, a back-safe warm-up. No surprises.

9:00 AM – 5:30 PM

One thing at a time

Focus mode, hourly posture break, coach is there when you get stuck. 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. People who get overwhelmed fast don't fail because they lack willpower - they fail at the first step. Ankaa brings everything together in one calm system that identifies your next step and then actually carries it out, rather than just showing you more data.

Evidence

Not a hunch: the numbers behind Ankaa

Six research findings explain why Ankaa is built the way it is - calm, visible on your wall, without punishing missed days, and why this matters now.

15-20 %

of people are estimated to be neurodivergent - ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia and more. Neurodivergence is not a niche, but almost one in five.

6.76 %

of adults worldwide show symptomatic ADHD - around 366 million people (as of 2020). Most organise their daily life without tools made for them.

+199 %

more first-time adult ADHD diagnoses in Germany from 2015 to 2024, per an analysis of statutory health-insurance data. Many only realise late why daily structure is so hard - exactly the minds Ankaa is built for.

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 the 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 Ankaa is flexible, not punishing.

Calm Focus Mode

Built for minds that get overwhelmed fast

ADHD, autism, or simply a brain that locks up with too many open tabs: Ankaa takes the burden of self-organisation 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.

Help getting started

The hardest part is starting. Ankaa breaks every task down into a tiny first step: "just the first 2 minutes". A to-do list does nothing - a micro-step does.

Body-doubling with the coach

A guided focus session where someone "stays with you". Lowers the barrier to getting started at all, and celebrates small wins without pressure.

Flexible, not punishing

Routines can be shifted and caught up without immediately breaking a streak. Visible, running timers make time tangible rather than just showing clock times.

Hands-free - just listen

A calm, natural voice reads the next step out to you, with no need to look at the screen or read. You can even talk to the coach - it listens and replies. Perfect 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 coach connects everything instead of app chaos.

Sleep & Energy

Sleep coaching with Apple Watch data (HRV, resting heart rate). The coach adapts your day to your recovery and helps you finally wind down.

Health HubRecovery from your Apple Watch, every morning.

Stress & Calm

Breathing exercises and mini-meditations, breaks at the right time, burnout prevention against chronic stress.

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, streaks, money saved, and relapse support. 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 automatically and reminds you before it's too late.

Recovery-aware Gym

Workout plans built from your Apple Watch data: if you're measurably tired, the plan goes easier. Over 40 routines with voice timer, back- and posture-safe.

Financial Health

Budgeting, saving, portfolio, the path to your first million. The coach suggests how to allocate spare cash - one tap is all it takes. Your money in the same system as your health.

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. The coach switches them accordingly, without you having to search.

Focus & Screen Time

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

Blocks your calendar

Finds the gap, schedules the routine, reminds you in time.

Reads your recovery

Sleep, HRV, and resting heart rate from your Apple Watch shape today's plan.

Takes notes and reminds you

Captures notes and tasks, sets calendar reminders, by voice or typing.

Shows how to allocate cash

"You have €400 left over, here's how you could split it." A suggestion, not guesswork.

Controls your smart home

Lights and heating matched to your morning, focus, and evening phases.

Tracks your reduction

Streaks, money saved, and relapse support - without you having to dig through menus.

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.

The coach acts

No idle chatter: it blocks the calendar, starts the right routine, controls smart home, tracks your reduction, reads your sleep and stress data.

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 designed for back, neck, and posture health - safe even with disc issues from prolonged sitting. The coach follows 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 silent trackers

A coach that acts

Others just count. Ankaa understands your day and acts across sleep, stress, habit reduction, calendar, smart home, and finances.

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)

A life system for neurodivergent minds

Others solve one ADHD problem at a time: planning, task breakdown, focus timers. Ankaa builds the scaffold across your whole life: next step, getting-started help, body-doubling, calm mode, plus back health, habit reduction, and finances.

For Business

Ankaa as an employee benefit

Back problems, burnout, and addictions cost the economy billions in lost workdays. Ankaa reduces that and makes the most of your health budget.

Fewer sick days & lower turnover

Back and musculoskeletal issues are the leading cause of absenteeism. Participants in workplace health programmes are absent significantly less often, with a typical ROI of around 2.7 to 15x per euro invested.

Tax-free up to €600 per employee

Under §3 No. 34 of the German Income Tax Act, up to €600 per year per employee for health promotion is tax-free. Ankaa fits entirely within this budget.

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?

An AI-guided operating system for life: a calm focus mode that shows you only the next step, plus sleep, stress, habit reduction, movement & back health, finances, and a digital declutter assistant in one place. Guided by an AI coach that genuinely acts. No more single-purpose apps. Ankaa runs on all your devices (phone, tablet, laptop) and optionally as a wall display.

Is Ankaa made for ADHD or autism?

Yes, it's especially built for that. The calm focus mode reduces stimuli and shows only the one thing right now; the coach helps with getting started ("just the first 2 minutes"), does body-doubling, and breaks tasks into micro-steps. Routines are flexible and can be caught up, not punishing. Ankaa is not a medical product and does not replace diagnosis or therapy - it takes everyday organisation off your plate.

Can I use Ankaa hands-free by voice?

Yes. A calm, natural AI voice reads every routine step aloud, with no need to read or look at the screen. You can also talk to the coach hands-free - it listens and replies (speech-to-speech). This especially helps when reading is overwhelming right now or your hands are busy.

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, streaks, money saved, and support for setbacks.

How safe are the back exercises?

Every movement routine is designed for back, neck, and posture health - safe even with disc issues from prolonged sitting. The coach follows 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 recovery data (sleep, HRV, resting heart rate) feeds the Health Hub and adapts the coach and workout plan to how rested you are. Focus mode, coach, routines, tracking and finances all work without any wearable, and you can enter values by hand too.

Do I need the wall tablet (the Ankaa Box)?

No. The Ankaa Box is an optional anchor, not a requirement. The full system runs on the devices you already own. The wall display just keeps Ankaa always visible and present, which helps when building new habits, since phone-only apps have low retention rates in studies. You can start free on your phone and add the Box later.

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 €59/year (or €9.99/month), Lifetime €299 one-time, the Ankaa Box from €219 (wall tablet at near cost price, including 1 year Pro). Prices are preliminary - the waitlist gets the best deal.
