Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know
Why is Aura offline-only?
Privacy during vulnerable moments is critical. We use SQLite local storage so your recovery data never leaves your device. No servers, no tracking, no data breaches.
How does the AI companion work?
The mascot uses Rive animations with a state machine that adapts based on your addiction type and progress. For smoking/alcohol, it acts as a "nurse/healer." For gaming, it's a "coach/ranger." All processing is local.
What addictions are supported?
Aura supports both chemical addictions (smoking, alcohol, substances, sugar) and behavioral addictions (gaming, social media, shopping). Each type gets specialized features based on research.
Is my data safe?
Absolutely. All data is stored in SQLite on your device. We offer biometric lock (FaceID/Fingerprint) and JSON export/import for backups. No cloud, no accounts, no risk.
What's included in Pro?
Pro unlocks unlimited journal entries, all mascot customizations, advanced analytics, and priority features. We offer a free trial and lifetime purchase option via RevenueCat.
Does it work on both iOS and Android?
Yes! Built with React Native and Expo, Aura works seamlessly on both platforms with native performance and animations.
Can I use it without internet?
100% yes. That's the core design principle. Download once and have full functionality forever, even in airplane mode.
