Your career is moving forward.Make sure the rest of your life is too.
Two minutes each morning. One honest picture of your life, one small action, and an AI coach that knows your week.
7 days free, no card. Then R399 for the year, once.
Nothing has broken.That’s the problem.
There is no crisis to point at. A life erodes at a pace that never quite justifies stopping.
- The targets are met. The check-up has been moved twice.
- Home gets a transfer on the 25th. It has not had you since December.
- There is a system for the pipeline. There is none for the people at home.
Another productivity system will sharpen the one part that is already working.
Your life is biggerthan your calendar.
Seven parts. One picture. It takes about a minute, and it is the most honest thing you will look at today. No account, and nothing leaves your device.
- Tending
Where the attention has been going.
- Tending
Sleep, movement, the appointment you keep moving.
- Tending
The people you would name first, and see least.
- Tending
Friendship, which quietly becomes admin after thirty.
- Tending
Attention, stillness, what you read that isn't work.
- Tending
Not income, order. Knowing where it goes and why.
- Tending
Meaning, faith, whatever you answer to when nobody is watching.
Move a slider to begin. It stays on this device.
A low reading is not a failure. It may be asking for attention, or deliberately resting. Only you know which.
Goals tell you what you want.
Identity tells you who you’re becoming.
A goal is a finish line, and the person who crosses it wakes up unchanged. Tomara asks a different question first: who are you becoming in the part of life that needs you most?
Then every small action becomes a vote for that person.
Your first vote is written as “when this happens, I will do that” on purpose. Across 94 independent tests, plans made that way had a medium-to-large effect on reaching goals (Gollwitzer & Sheeran, 2006). That is evidence for the method, not yet for Tomara.
Your first seven days.
Day 1See it, then name it.
Set your compass, then write down who you are becoming in the part of life that matters most right now. Rough drafts welcome.
Days 2 to 6One vote a day.
One screen each morning: an intention, one action, how you actually feel. About two minutes.
You don’t need another list. You need the one thing that matters today.
Any dayA coach that knows your week.
Your compass, your season and your recent days are in front of it, so it answers about your life rather than in general. It offers choices. It never nags.
Day 7Look back.
Your first weekly reflection, in your own words: what gave you energy, what you learned, what gets your attention next.
By day seven you have an honest picture of your life, a written statement of who you are becoming, and a week of small votes. That is enough to know whether it is worth R399.
Screens are the real app, with sample data and a sample conversation. Not a real person’s.
The year it adds up to.
Two minutes each morning. A compass check-in and a reflection each week. Each quarter, a review of the last ninety days: what rose, what slipped, and where to point the next one.
Day 1
The shape you start with.
Month 3
Your first quarterly review. Something has moved, and you can see what.
Month 6
A hard quarter. The shape slips. The record stays.
Month 12
Still uneven. Still yours. And you can see how it got here.
By month twelve you have a year of small votes and a record of how your life actually moved, in your own words. That is what R399 buys.
A sample year, invented for this page. Yours will have its own shape, and nobody can promise how it moves.
Your life will interrupt the plan.Tomara is built for that.
You miss a day.
Nothing breaks.
You return.
Most of these apps run on a threat: keep the chain alive or lose everything. It works until the first bad week, and then it punishes you for having a life.
Here, two grace days a month are applied for you, rest days count as showing up, and a missed day is never marked in red.
Seven days to see if it’s for you.
Tomara is for people doing well by every measure anyone else can see, who know that is not the whole picture. It is not for anyone who wants a streak to protect, and it is not therapy.
Then R399 for the year, once.
Everything in Tomara, from the first day: the compass, your two minutes each morning, a coach that knows your history, big goals broken down to today, weekly and quarterly reviews, and an early warning when work starts crowding out the rest.
Begin your seven days7 days free, no card.
Paid once through PayFast, in rand. Nothing renews. When your 12 months end the tools pause until you choose another year, and your history stays where you left it.
The things worth asking first.
I've abandoned apps like this before. Why would this be different?
Because the usual design is what made you quit. A streak that resets to zero turns one hard week into a reason to stop opening the app, and the weeks that break you are exactly the weeks you needed it. Tomara is built the other way round: it expects you to miss days, and coming back costs nothing.
Who can read what I write?
Other users, never. Every account is walled off at the database.
Nobody at Tomara reads your entries to run the service. The admin console shows your account, your plan and how many entries exist, not what they say. Your entries are not end-to-end encrypted, though, so direct database access could reach them. A small number of people have that access, and it is used only to fix a fault or meet a legal duty.
Your coach messages and a summary of your recent entries go to Anthropic to generate each reply. Anthropic’s commercial terms do not allow it to train its models on them.
You can download everything, or delete your account, from Settings at any time. Full detail is in the privacy policy.
Is this therapy?
No. Tomara is a self-development tool, and neither it nor its AI coach replaces a qualified professional. If you are struggling, please talk to someone. In South Africa, SADAG’s Suicide Crisis Helpline is free and open 24 hours a day on 0800 567 567.
Is there an app?
Not in the app stores. Tomara runs in your browser on any phone or computer, and you can add it to your home screen in a few seconds, where it opens with its own icon and no browser bars. On iPhone, tap Share in Safari, then Add to Home Screen. On Android, open your browser menu, then Install app.
There are no push notifications yet. The one daily reminder is a morning email if you have an active habit.
What does the AI coach actually do?
It answers with your own life in front of it: your compass ratings, your current season, your recent days and habits. It runs within a yearly allowance. The app tells you well before you reach it, and the rest of Tomara keeps working if you do.
How does the trial work, and what happens when it ends?
You get 7 days of full access from the moment you create an account, and no card is required. Nothing is charged when it ends, and nothing is deleted. The tools stop until you pay the R399 once-off fee, every check-in, goal and reflection stays where you left it, and paying turns it all back on.
Is this a subscription? Will I be charged again?
No. R399 is a single payment through PayFast, and it buys 12 months from the day you pay. Nothing renews and there is nothing to cancel. When the 12 months end the tools pause until you choose to pay for another year, and everything you have recorded stays where it is.
You don’t have to fix your life tonight.You just have to look at it.
Seven ratings. About a minute. One honest shape at the end of it.
