Personal prototype · In progress
AuraYour day.
At your pace.
A gentle day-planning prototype that makes the next task clear and leaves room to start, postpone or let it go.
Explore the interface01 / The product question
A little structure.
Room to be human.
Aura explores a simple question: how can a planner help someone begin a task while leaving room for the day to change? The interface gives the next task a clear place and keeps postponing or skipping within reach.
One next moment
Bring the immediate task forward without losing the wider day.
A choice at the reminder
Starting, snoozing and skipping remain separate, explicit actions.
A simple way in
Manual task entry makes the core flow available without an AI connection.
The design aim: support a decision, without turning every changed plan into a failure.
02 / Layout decisions
One working layout.
Three deliberate choices.
This review isolates three decisions in the current My day screen. Each panel uses the same layout: the day context, the next task and the controls inside that task.
- Orient within the day. The greeting and My day / Plan with Aura tabs sit above the task.
- Focus on one next moment. The larger card brings together the task, start time and duration.
- Keep actions in context. Start now and Preview reminder stay inside that same card, above the wider schedule.
03 / Low to high fidelity
The same screen.
From structure to finish.
These wireframes were reconstructed from the actual captures beside them. Content order, controls, proportions and the visible crop stay aligned; the visual treatment is simplified to show the structure.

04 / My day
Make the next moment
easy to find.
The opening combines a short greeting, one prominent task card and two clear controls: Start now and Preview reminder. The quieter schedule below keeps other commitments available without competing with that first decision.
The visual decision: use contrast to create focus, then leave the surrounding interface calm.
05 / The working flow
From a plan
to a moment of choice.
The real captures show two manually entered example tasks and the reminder preview. My day establishes focus; Schedule provides context; Reminder brings the action back to the person.

06 / Reminder choices
The reminder can ask.
The person decides.
The reminder presents Let’s go, Snooze 30 min and Skip it as distinct choices. Supporting prompts sit beneath them, so the core decision remains visible before any conversation.
Make the state understandable.
A labelled preview lets someone inspect the reminder without waiting for its time or changing the device clock. Closing the preview returns to the plan.
07 / A flexible schedule
Keep the details
close to the task.
Dates, start times and duration sit beside each task. Start, Complete, Edit and Delete make the available actions visible in place, including on a narrow screen.
A local prototype.
Tasks are stored in the browser. The interface includes a reminder preview; dependable background alarms require a separate device implementation and validation.
08 / Outcome and boundaries
A clearer interface.
The next step is evidence.
Aura connects a day view, a task schedule and a reminder preview in a working web prototype. Designing the reminder reinforced one principle: a helpful prompt should make its choices and its current state understandable.
Reminder choices
Begin, postpone or skip.
Local plan
A schedule kept in the browser.
Ready to observe
The core flow can be reviewed with sample tasks.
These describe the prototype. Productivity, adherence and real-world reminder reliability have not been measured.
What the current evidence covers
The captures demonstrate manual planning and reminder controls. AI connection quality, calendar sync and native phone notifications are not demonstrated. Privacy, connection failures and background behaviour require further review before public release.
09 / Next phase
Test the moments
that change the plan.
The next phase would move beyond interface inspection to the decisions and conditions that determine whether a reminder is useful.
A useful planner leaves room
for a real day.
