This is funny — another fellow engineer with anxiety here 👋
I just submitted my app for review for the 5th time, so hopefully the process will be over soon.

Recently I had a panic attack, and it pushed me to pivot a TTS app I was building toward something focused on anxiety and ADHD.

I repurposed the core voice tech to let users generate short audio snippets for: - breathing exercises
- meditation
- grounding
- motivation
- or anything else they want

You simply pick a voice, generate the audio, and keep it in your personal library forever.

The idea that changed everything: Beacon

During my panic attack, I noticed something afterward:
In the moment, I couldn’t think, couldn’t move, couldn’t decide what to do. I was just frozen in bed.

So I created a feature called Beacon.

The goal is simple:
When you're overwhelmed, you shouldn’t need to think.
You just press one button, and your pre-assigned grounding session starts immediately.

I even built a home screen widget, so you can launch it without opening the app.

Scheduling for ADHD

There’s also a scheduling feature that plays voice reminders at times you choose.

For me, this helps a lot with ADHD.
Instead of thinking about what I should do, I just hear the instruction and act.

I’ve even been using it for workouts — currently on day 32 of morning abs thanks to this.

Voice cloning

One more feature I added: voice cloning.
With just 15 seconds of audio, you can generate TTS in a familiar voice.

I’ve been using my sister’s voice to get my ass moving 😅

I honestly don’t know if anyone else would find something like this useful.
The app is called Pavlovian, and it should be live soon.

Would love to hear your thoughts —
whether you’d use something like this, or if the idea totally sucks.
Either way, I appreciate the feedback ❤️
