Everyday brain-health habits

Nourish the mind.
Live better.

One small practice at a time, chosen for the day you're actually having. Nurii learns what you do, what you skip, and quietly rebuilds tomorrow around it.

How it works

A plan that changes because you didn't do it.

  1. 01
    It notices

    You skipped this morning. Nothing nags. On Home that evening: Morning ritual missed. Tonight's is adjusted with this in mind. Three skips in fourteen days and a practice leaves your plan altogether.

  2. 02
    It asks before it changes anything

    A notification, not a change. It says what it noticed and asks how you want to handle it.

  3. 03
    You tune it in one screen

    When it asks, how much it asks for, or the practices themselves. Every answer changes what Nurii does tonight - nothing is a survey.

  4. 04
    It shows what it learnt

    A weekly read on what's forming, what left you calmer, and what it's easing off - in plain words, with no streak to break.

Built around you

Tell it who you are. Watch what changes.

Setup asks four things, all optional. None of it is a diagnosis and none of it is said back to you - it just shifts what Nurii suggests, and when.

Your cycle, or your stage of it

Perimenopause, postpartum and menopause each change sleep, energy and what's worth asking of yourself. Nurii follows the phase you're in and moves the work to where it lands.

PerimenopausePostpartumMenopausePost-menopauseRegular cycle

Early bird or night owl

Your wind-down and your wake-up are set to your day, not a default one. A night owl isn't asked to be up at six, and an early bird isn't kept up for a late ritual.

How your brain works

Neurodivergent brains regulate dopamine, focus and overwhelm differently. That changes which pillars Nurii leads with, how long a practice runs, and when it asks.

What's already in your week

Tell it what you already do and it builds around that rather than on top of it. Setup ends on a real sequence for tonight, from your three priority pillars.

Nurii's cycle screen, following the current phase. Nurii's Home screen with tomorrow's wake-up and tonight's wind-down time. Onboarding: how your mind works, with optional neurotype options. Onboarding: your ritual is ready, tonight's sequence built from your three priority pillars.
Wind down, three practices, nine minutes. Let the day set. It asks how you are arriving: drained, steady or ready. A grounding moment before the first practice begins. The practice canvas, guided and eyes-free. That was the hard part. Extended exhale, and why it helped. The round-up, showing what you did. Carry into tomorrow: one optional small thing, or go straight to sleep.
Inside a ritual

Nine minutes, and it dims as it goes.

A wind-down opens by asking how you're arriving, and adapts to the answer. Every step says why it's there. The light only ever comes down - once you're settling, nothing in Nurii brightens back up.

01 · The gate

Three practices, nine minutes. It asks how you're arriving before anything starts.

    Six of the twelve screens in the wind-down arc.

    Your rhythm

    Two bodies, two different clocks.

    Oestrogen moves across a month; testosterone across a day. Nurii follows whichever clock is yours - what it asks for, when it asks, even what's on the plate - and puts the work where it will actually land.

    It tracks this itself, so it works whether or not you use Apple Health.

    For her · the month
    Oestrogen and progesterone across the cycle, today marked at day 14.
    Seed cycling: follicular half flax and pumpkin, luteal half sesame and sunflower. You're in the follicular half.
    For him · the day
    3PM slump: sleep pressure builds and energy dips. This is biology, not willpower.
    Testosterone across 24 hours, now marked in the morning.
    Wind-down, 8pm onward: cortisol falls and the body makes much of tomorrow's testosterone during deep sleep.
    The framework

    Eight pillars. One brain.

    Eight everyday habits that shape how your brain feels and functions. You never have to think about which one you're working on - Nurii picks.

    01

    Breathwork

    Settle your nervous system in minutes, matched to your day.

    02

    Stress & cortisol

    Learn to recognise the load before it stacks up.

    03

    Sleep

    The brain's clean-up cycle. Everything else is built on it.

    04

    Neuroplasticity

    Small deliberate shifts, repeated, build new pathways.

    05

    Nutrition

    Your most direct lever, explained without the supplement noise.

    06

    Journaling

    Three honest minutes, and what it does over months.

    07

    Connections

    The most consistent predictor in the whole literature.

    08

    Movement

    Resistance, somatic and yoga, matched to what today allows.

    Holistic and evidence-based

    Where soul meets science.

    Your brain keeps rewiring at every age. The research on what shifts that is unusually consistent - it points at sleep, movement, food, stress and connection. Nurii turns it into something you can actually do on a Tuesday.

    40%

    Lower anxiety after eight weeks of consistent breathwork.

    J. Clinical Psychology · 2021

    47%

    Better memory and cognitive flexibility from learning one small new skill each week.

    Nature Neuroscience · 2020

    More BDNF, the brain's growth protein, through regular yoga and mindful movement.

    Founder
    "My dad died suddenly when I was 26. What I wasn't ready for was what it did to my body."

    The grief I half expected. The rest I didn't. Panic attacks, anxiety that turned up without a reason, skin and hormones that stopped behaving. My nervous system had decided the danger was still happening and stayed there, and nobody had told me grief could do that.

    It took years to come back. What worked in the end wasn't a supplement or a test result - it was breathwork, movement, sleep, and the slow, unglamorous work of doing small things often enough that my body believed me.

    Now I watch my nan live with dementia, and I think about brain health differently. Not something to fix later. Something you look after now, in small daily ways.

    That's why I built Nurii.

    From the closed beta

    Built with people, not at them.

    Thirteen testers ran Nurii for four weeks each through summer 2026, with interviews at the start and the end. Everything on this page survived that.

    Open call

    We're looking for our first practitioners.

    Therapists, longevity clinicians, nutritionists, breathwork and somatic coaches, EFT practitioners, trainers. If you work in this every day and want to shape what people practise, we'd like to talk. Everyone who joins is identity-verified before they appear.

    Questions

    The honest answers.

    What does it cost?

    Fourteen days of full access, coach and personalisation included, then one Premium plan: £59.99 a year, or £9.99 a month. No cut-down free tier, no tiers to compare. Free for everyone in the beta.

    Do I need a wearable?

    No. Nurii works from day one on your calendar, your phone and what you tell it. Connect Apple Health and it also reads your HRV, resting heart rate, sleep stages, mindful minutes, steps, workouts and cycle starts - and writes your sleep window and completed practices back.

    Is this medical advice?

    No. Nurii supports everyday habits and self-regulation. It is not a medical device, it doesn't diagnose or treat anything, and it isn't a substitute for professional care. The coach is honest about its limits, and points you toward real human support rather than trying to handle a crisis itself.

    What is the AI actually doing?

    Two things: your daily nudge, and the coach you can talk to. It runs on Claude, made by Anthropic, called from our own servers so no keys sit on your phone. It uses the pillars and goals you chose, your cycle phase if you track it, your practice history, and how you responded to past suggestions.

    Is my data private?

    Your data personalises your experience inside Nurii. It isn't sold, and your conversations are not used to train AI models. You can review or remove your information at any time.

    Do I stay in control?

    Always. Nurii suggests, you decide. Skip, swap or ignore anything. Over time it learns what you find useful and quietly drops what you don't.
