05:00 / the day before you've said anything
Talk.
It's handled.
One sentence, and the day arranges itself.
Way one
Say it.
The mic is on every screen — the floating button, the quick-add bars, the assistant. You never have to be in the right place to add the right thing.
“Remind me to pay rent Friday at 3pm”
Sets a task and a 3pm alert. Runs on the offline parser — no API key involved.
Listening
Way two
Snap it.
Photograph a whiteboard, a syllabus, a printed schedule or your own handwriting. Aura opens its own camera — live viewfinder, framing guide, front/back switch — not the OS picker.
The exam becomes an event. The homework becomes three tasks. The page becomes a note.
Capture is the one part that needs an AI key — reading an image takes a vision model.
Reading
Way three
Type it.
Same sentence, same parser, no microphone. Voice input needs Chrome, Edge or Safari on iOS — everywhere else you type, and nothing is lost.
“Schedule the conference all day tomorrow”
One shared brain behind all three routes in.
Parsing
Your day / assembled from things you said
Thursday,
31 July
Every row below arrived a different way — spoken on a walk, read off a photo, typed in a hurry. They land in one place, in order, and the day is just there when you look at it.
The app / four tabs
Four tabs.
One thing listening.
Each works on its own. One + in the middle reaches all of them — talk, type, or hand it a photo.
Capture / a photo becomes a plan
The board on Thursday,
and what came back.
One photo
Aura's own camera, not the OS picker: live viewfinder, framing guide, front and back.
Nothing is saved until you say so.
Every title, date, time and priority stays editable and anything can be unchecked. The model reads the photo. You approve the calendar.
The assistant / with or without a model
It doesn't reply.
It does.
No key
Works out of the box
A fast offline rules parser handles the everyday phrasings with no API key at all — free, private, instant, and it never fails because the network did.
Your key
Or bring a model
Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Groq — whichever you already pay for. Paste it in Setup and it's live immediately. Groq is the cheap way in. That's what unlocks free conversation and Capture.
Either way
The network can fail. The app can't.
If the key is missing or the request drops, Aura returns to the offline parser without saying a word about it.
Make it yours / the whole page will change
Night or daylight.
Try it here.
Aura ships three colour versions, three colour modes and independent light and dark. Flip this page between night and daylight to see how the same system behaves.
Eight category hues colour-code your calendars and task groups. In mono mode they all collapse to grey — colour is never the only thing carrying meaning.
The product / real screens
Not mockups.
Screenshots.
Taken from the app as it runs today — phone and desktop, light and dark.
You already know what your day looks like.
Say it out loud.
Aura is live. A free account — email or Google — puts your calendar, tasks and notes on every device you own, in sync.
Free, in the browser — add it to your phone’s home screen. Prefer to self-host? The whole install:
