The overlay

A companion that
floats with you.

A whisper of glass on top of any app. Press a key, Aura is there. Look away, it dissolves.

A small breath of light. Aura waits, never demands. You can forget it's there, until you need it.

Designed to disappear

A presence, not an app.

Aura's overlay is built around one principle: respect for your attention. It only arrives when summoned, only stays as long as needed.

Discreet

Truly transparent. No window chrome. No tray icon noise. A single floating breath you can hide with a tap.

Alive

Subtle motion, organic timing, soft sound. Aura doesn't blink, it breathes.
