Vaeli

A day you don’t have to hold in your head

Vaeli is a phone assistant for the school day. It keeps your timetable, tasks and kit in one place, reminds you only when there is a reason, and changes nothing until you confirm it. It needs about fifteen minutes of your attention a day.

What it is

A mobile app for students on A-level, IB and similar programmes, and for parents who want them to stop forgetting things. It reads the class timetable from a photo of the printed sheet, tracks tasks and deadlines, keeps the kit list and the laundry days for boarding students, and schedules revision by spaced repetition for the student’s exam board.

Inside the app

The page shows the app itself, not a drawing of it: three screen recordings and one screenshot from the Android build. Rhythm charts sleep, mood and steps over 7, 14 or 30 days. Kit keeps the wardrobe in photographs and a packing list for a trip. One key in the middle of the bottom bar opens Cards, Calendar and Rhythm, and a voice sheet turns what you say into a reminder, note or topic, which you check before it is saved.

How it works

It works without a signal. The timetable, tasks, kit and revision schedule are kept on the phone and keep working offline. They sync through our server so nothing is lost with the phone. The assistant and notifications need a connection; the rest does not.
It writes first, and rarely. A fixed set of rules decides whether there is anything worth saying: at most four messages a day, and none from 23:15 to 07:00.
It changes nothing without your say. The assistant proposes a change; you tap Apply or Cancel, and an applied change can be undone.
Fifteen minutes a day. The app is built to need little attention, not to hold it.

Connections

Vaeli can read your Google Calendar, and on Android it can read sleep, heart rate and steps from Health Connect. Health readings stay on the phone. More on the features page.

Who it is for
