The Story

Ruhla began life as Waqti, a screen-time companion, and grew into something warmer: a mindful-time app where you talk instead of type. Voice journaling runs on on-device speech recognition, alongside notes, a reflection calendar, and a food-for-thoughts feed.

The Waqti DNA is still there. Screen Time shield configurations and a relapse toast guard against sliding back into old habits, and the design language leans on animated blob backgrounds, grain gradients, and halftone textures rather than sterile dashboards.
