Osmia is truly committed to serve you and your presence in the real world
For years we built behavioral AI, we know how hooks are made. Osmia is committed to a different path. Here are the seven commitments Osmia is built on, and the four mechanisms we refused for good
The seven commitments
Paid for by its users, no one else
Osmia is funded by one thing: the subscriptions of the people who use it. Nothing about you is sold, rented, or handed to anyone — every incentive points toward your own life, and away from the screen.
Your own motivation, never gamification
No streaks, no scores, no leaderboards. The practice earns its place in your morning on its own merits.
What Osmia learns about you stays yours
A daily practice comes to know you closely. Osmia holds what it learns for one purpose: your own practice. The privacy page spells this out, line by line.
The day is held, not filled
A morning to set your lens, a quiet return to it while the day is in progress, an evening to look back. Every cue follows the practice you turned on — never your attention, and never your absence. No countdowns, no feed, no manufactured urgency — and ending a conversation is as easy as starting one.
Honest about what it is
Osmia is a practice for everyday life — not therapy, and not medical care. What we say it does, it does.
We warn you about the hard middle
Every real change has a stretch where the old pattern is disturbed and the new one is not yet steady — the exact place most people quit. Osmia tells you about the middle before you reach it, and holds you through it.
You decide who you become
Osmia points only where you have said you want to go. It shapes the conditions; the direction is yours.
The ledger
Refused, permanently
Principles come cheap; refusals are the receipts. These four are turned down for keeps.
Day-after messages
Osmia never writes to you because you’ve been away.
Streaks, gardens, growth charts
Nothing counts your days or grows when you comply.
The lure-back
No “we miss you,” ever.
Badges and red dots
Nothing accumulates; nothing demands clearing.
The one measure
An app built to keep your awareness hooked has failed you
We know how awareness gets hooked. Osmia’s measure runs the other way: you open the app, get what you came for, and close it more present in the real world. Hold us to every line on this page.
