About The Entry

AURORA is a neuroscience-backed music therapy app built for ADHD individuals, who often struggle with persistent distraction, emotional instability, and fragmented daily experiences. Rather than functioning as a traditional music app, Aurora analyzes mood patterns over time to generate state-matched playlists and structured emotional patterns.


Through rhythm-synced visuals and a multi-dimensional music journal, Aurora helps users recognize how sound influences their focus and emotional regulation. By transforming fleeting listening moments into meaningful patterns, Aurora supports sustained attention and builds long-term self-regulation habits for neurodiverse wellbeing.
