Out now on Google Play

You know what to do.
Starting is the hard part.

Paulora is a body double. Tell her a task, she breaks it into steps – then talks you through it out loud and stays with you while you actually do it.

Download free on Google Play

No account. No card. Breaking tasks down is unlimited, forever.

What actually happens

One loop. Not ninety-four features.

1

Tell her the thing

Type it or say it – “the kitchen”, “my tax return”, “reply to that email”. She turns it into steps, with a first step small enough to start now.

2

She starts, and stays

A voice says the step out loud and then stays present while you work. “Okay. Just this: make the bed. I’ll stay with you. Begin whenever your hand moves.” Quiet check-ins, never nagging.

3

Stuck? It gets smaller

One tap breaks the step down again. Hands full? She hands the rest of the list back to you and gets out of the way.

4

Come back whenever

No streaks. No guilt screen. Disappear for nine days and she picks up where you left off, because a productivity app that punishes you for having ADHD is the wrong tool.

What it looks like

Real screens, nothing mocked up.

Paulora's home screen, with a glowing circle and the question: what's the thing you can't start?
Ask her for whatever you have been avoiding.
A task typed into Paulora reading sort out my tax return, with a Break it down button.
Type it or say it. Anything counts.
Paulora's plan for tidying a kitchen, four numbered steps, the first startable in under sixty seconds.
Steps, with a first one you can start now.
A live Paulora session showing a countdown, the current step, and buttons for Done, Talk, Too big and plus two minutes.
Then she says it out loud, and stays.
Paulora's celebration screen reading: see, the task was scared of you, actually.
One down. No streaks, no guilt.

What it costs

Two limits on the free plan, and Plus lifts them. That is the whole difference.

Free

£0 – no card, no account

Everything below, every day, forever.

  • Unlimited task breakdowns
  • 5 talked-through sessions a day, resetting at midnight
  • 3 tasks kept on hold
  • Picking a held task back up – never counts against your day
  • The Gentle style, with a clear natural voice

Free whether or not you ever pay

Breaking a task into steps is unlimited and always will be – it is the part that helps even on the days you don’t start, so it is not something to ration. Picking a paused task back up is free too, and never counts against your five.

Payment is handled by Google Play. Paulora never sees your card.

Subscriptions renew until cancelled, and you cancel in the Play Store, not in the app. You keep Plus until the period you have paid for ends.

No free trial that quietly charges you. No introductory price that jumps later.

No ads, ever. Nothing in the app is sold to anyone.

If the price ever changes, Google requires your explicit consent before charging more.

Why a voice, and not another list

Body doubling is a known ADHD strategy: work goes better when someone else is simply there. The problem has always been finding that someone at 9pm on a Tuesday.

The list was never the problem

App fourteen broke the task down beautifully, then left you alone with it. The breakdown isn’t the hard part – the starting is.

Scheduling is the barrier

Booking a stranger on video for 3pm requires the executive function you were short of in the first place. Paulora is available when the moment happens.

Time is a rumour

Ten minutes turns into four hours, or a five-minute job waits a month. She shows you your guess against the clock afterwards, without a lecture.

No streaks, on purpose

Streaks punish exactly the thing you downloaded the app for. There aren’t any.

Questions

Do I need an ADHD diagnosis?

No. It was built around how ADHD brains stall on starting, and it works for anyone who knows the feeling – diagnosed, waiting for an assessment, or neither.

Is this therapy or a medical app?

No. Paulora is a productivity companion. It is not treatment, diagnosis, or a substitute for professional care.

What is the difference between the free voice and Plus?

Free uses a clear, natural stand-in voice. Plus uses Paulora’s own voice – the one the app is built around – plus four others to choose from. Everything else about a session is identical, and the limits are the only other difference.

Do I have to speak out loud?

No. She talks; you don’t have to. You can run a whole session by tapping, and there is a Quiet mode if you want her silent entirely.

What happens to my data?

Your tasks, your name and your history stay on your device – we keep no copy. Uninstalling deletes everything. The only thing sent to our server is a one-way hash of a device ID, used solely to keep the free daily limit fair; it cannot be traced back to you and is not shared with anyone. Full detail in the privacy policy.

Is speech recognition private?

Be aware that dictation uses Android’s own speech recogniser, which on most phones sends audio to Google to transcribe it. That is the same system every app uses for voice input. If you would rather it didn’t, type instead – everything works either way.

Can I cancel easily?

Yes, in the Play Store under Subscriptions, in a few taps. Plus stays active until the period you have already paid for runs out, and nothing else changes – your tasks and history are untouched.

iPhone?

Not yet. Android only for now.
