About

IGNITER helps you take one small first step when starting feels hard. It doesn't keep score. There are no streaks to break.

Your privacy: there's no account. Your prompts and settings stay on this device, and nothing is tracked. Read the privacy policy.

If things feel heavier than starting a task, you deserve support from a person. In an emergency, call your local emergency number. Find a free helpline near you.
