What is Alfie?

A neurodivergent-friendly wellness companion that helps you regulate your energy through personalised ritual cards and conversations.

Alfie is a wellness app built for brains that work differently. It helps you notice how you're actually feeling and find something that fits — a short, body-based practice matched to your energy right now.

No streak tracking. No guilt. No "you should" language. Just gentle suggestions based on where your system is at.


Your Mirror, Not Your Manager

Alfie doesn't tell you what to do. It reflects back what you share — in your own words — and helps you figure out what you need. You make the meaning. Alfie holds the space.

This matters because many neurodivergent people have a lifetime of well-meaning helpers whose frameworks didn't quite fit. Alfie doesn't add another framework on top. It meets you where you are.


Two Ways In

Cards

Ritual cards are short practices organised by what your nervous system needs: energy up, energy down, processing, or future-care. There are two ways to find the right one.

The Compass is an intuitive map of what you need right now. Each quadrant represents a different kind of regulation — you choose based on what your system is asking for, not by naming an emotion. Tap anywhere and Alfie surfaces cards that match.

Do
Feel
Think
Sense
I'm clear-headed and ready to take action
I've been stuck in my head, need to move my body
I can think through things if I take it easy
Both my mind and body need a break

Tap in the middle if you aren't sure, or at the edges if you feel strongly

Stacks are collections of cards you've saved for specific moments — "my morning wind-up" or "things that help when I'm overwhelmed." When you already know what you need, a Stack gets you there without sorting through every card.

Cards are always free. They're the foundation of Alfie.

Conversations

The AI-powered side of Alfie. A quick check-in surfaces what you need and points you toward the right cards. Or you can just talk — about your day, what's heavy, what's buzzing. Alfie listens, reflects your words back, and finds rituals that fit the moment.

Within conversations, Alfie has specific skills for recurring moments:

Conversations aren't stored — they're held locally and deleted when you start a new one. Only reflections you choose to save (marked with a green dot) are kept. See Privacy for more.


Why Body-First?

Many of us live in our heads. Alfie is designed to help you detach from the mental chatter and get back into your body. That's why conversations start with somatic questions — "How are you arriving?" rather than "What's on your to-do list?"

If you find it hard to name what you're feeling (something called alexithymia, which is common in neurodivergent experience), that's fine. "Buzzy," "heavy," "flat" — any word works. Alfie doesn't need clinical precision. It needs your honest noticing.
