I'm building the app I couldn't find.

I'm Akia.

I'm a neurodivergent Black woman, software engineer, and accessibility specialist.

The wellness apps I tried felt too generic, too demanding, or just too much for my brain. I'm a forgetful girl. Out of sight, out of mind. Streaks don't work for me. My hopes and dreams have a habit of becoming hoarded thoughts in the notes app.

After spending all day masking — at work, in every room — I didn't want to come home to something that asked me to perform even more.

I needed a space that meets me in the middle. Somewhere I could put a thought down, check in with myself, and come back after time away without feeling behind.

That's why I'm building soffyn for neurodivergent Black women.
