One platform. Every kind of mind.
A cognitive platform for neurodivergent adults — built for dyslexia, ADHD, traumatic brain injury, autism, cognitive decline, and every brain that works differently.
Our Story
In my twenties, I tested at 148 — two points off genius. A recent test scored me at 126. I notice my own cognitive decline. I'm building UnSquirrel for both versions of myself.
My husband had cystic fibrosis. We managed a lot of his care at home — IV antibiotics on a strict schedule, daily medications, treatments that couldn't slip. I had to learn the medical system from the inside, advocate for him when he couldn't, and make critical decisions about his care while holding space for his emotions, his family's fear, and my own grief, all at the same time.
He fought for a bilateral lung transplant. He didn't make the list in Denver because his protein levels were 0.01% off. I lost him in April 2005.
Years later, one of his medical team told me something that never left me: "We never get to see the full picture of a patient outside of our care."
That became the heart of UnSquirrel — a bridge between the people who care for us and the systems that need to see us whole.
"I got tired of adapting to tools that weren't built for my brain. So I built something that adapts to me — and to every mind like mine."
The Platform
UnSquirrel gives you three completely separate cognitive environments — one for work, one for personal life, one for learning. Each has its own tools, its own AI personality, and its own encrypted space. Nothing ever crosses between them without your explicit permission.
Each brain runs in its own encrypted space. Your employer can never see your personal life. Your health data can never influence your work tools. Your academic data stays yours alone. This is not a setting — it is built into the foundation of how UnSquirrel works.
Professional productivity for high-stakes careers. Handles complex deadlines, communications, and documentation — without asking you to disclose anything about how your brain works.
Planned — Phase 1 onwardYour private space for health, family, and daily life. Navigate the medical system, care for the people you love, and manage the cognitive load of simply being a person in the world.
Planned — Phase 1 onwardA dedicated cognitive environment for neurodivergent students. From dense textbooks to writing anxiety to accommodation bureaucracy — Student Brain handles what makes learning unnecessarily hard.
Planned — Future PhaseWhy the alternatives don't work
Every major productivity platform claims to be accessible. None was designed with neurodivergent brains as the primary constraint. These aren't bad tools — they're tools built for a different kind of mind. And that difference matters, every single day.
You are not the problem. You haven't failed at productivity. You've been handed tools that were never built for how your brain actually works — and told to adapt. UnSquirrel is built the other way around.
How we build differently
Every decision in UnSquirrel is tested against one question: does this add friction? If the answer is yes, it gets redesigned. These aren't features — they're the foundation.
Every screen in UnSquirrel is checked against this list before it ships:
Phase 1 — Foundation
Phase 1 is planned and awaiting funding. These are the five features that will launch first — each one chosen because it directly eliminates a real, daily pain point for neurodivergent adults. Focused. Intentional. Nothing added until these are right.
Paste any text — an email, a contract, a medical letter, a legal document. Instantly simplified to the reading level you choose, in any language. A link back to the original is always there so you can verify. Reading exhaustion, reduced.
Career + Life BrainA colour-coded urgency system that shows what needs your attention — right now, soon, or later — at a single glance. Always uses both colour and shape so it works for every kind of vision. One tap gives you a full summary of where you left off.
Career + Life BrainStore your most important documents securely on your device. The system watches expiry dates and alerts you before anything lapses. IDs, insurance cards, leases, medical records — nothing slips through.
Life BrainSimple sliders for mood, energy, and brain fog. Voice or typed notes. Completely private — never visible to employers, ever. Over time, patterns emerge that help you understand yourself and plan your days better.
Life BrainYour private work journal inside Career Brain. Capture context, track your focus and energy across the working day — all entirely separate from your personal life and always yours alone.
Career BrainThe Roadmap
UnSquirrel is a large vision built responsibly — one phase at a time. We will always be honest about what is planned, what is next, and what is further out. Nothing here is guessed.
The five core features that eliminate the most exhausting daily friction — reading overload, missed deadlines, lost documents, and invisible cognitive patterns. Awaiting pre-seed funding to begin development.
5 confirmed features · Career Brain + Life Brain
Deeper tools for professionals in high-stakes roles — where a missed deadline has real consequences, every decision needs to be accountable, and the cognitive load of complex work needs a serious counterpart.
Career Brain expands significantly
Deeper support for the personal side of life — health navigation, caregiving, and the tools that help people manage their wellbeing without adding to their mental load.
Life Brain deepens significantly
A dedicated space for neurodivergent students — where the barriers that have always made education harder than it should be are quietly removed, one by one.
Student Brain launches here
Tools that extend beyond the individual — supporting the networks of people who care for and rely on each other, and bridging the gap between users and the systems that need to see them whole.
Community and shared care features
For the employers, HR teams, and institutions that want to genuinely support neurodivergent people — not as a costly exception, but as a seamless, dignified part of how they work every day.
Organizational tools and integrations
UnSquirrel as a platform for understanding the neurodivergent mind at scale — contributing to research, informing policy, and building the evidence base that changes how the world treats cognitive difference.
The long-term vision
Your Data. Your Rules.
UnSquirrel is built on one non-negotiable principle: your data is sovereign to you. You decide what is shared, who sees it, and when that permission ends. We cannot override this. No one can.
Your data lives on your device by default. Nothing reaches a server unless you explicitly choose to back it up — and even then, it is encrypted before it leaves.
Nothing is shared without your explicit action. You choose what, with whom, and for how long. Revoke any permission at any time — instantly and completely.
Career, Life, and Student Brain data are stored in completely separate encrypted spaces. Your employer sees only Career Brain — and only with your permission. Health data never touches work tools.
UnSquirrel does not sell, trade, or share your data with advertisers, data brokers, or third parties. There are no ads in UnSquirrel. There never will be.
Delete all of your data — locally and from any backup — at any time. Your right to delete is unconditional. No retention periods. No questions asked.
UnSquirrel looks like a premium productivity tool. Accessibility features are under Settings. You never have to disclose your neurodivergence to use any feature.
Every architectural decision was made with one question: does the user remain in complete control? If the answer was no, we built it differently. Your cognitive life belongs to you. Full stop.
The Village Bridge
"They told me they never get to see the full picture of a patient outside of their care. They only see a snapshot. They never see the caregiver at 2am managing an IV drip. They never see the family falling apart in the waiting room."
— Sandra Burden, recalling a conversation with her late husband's medical team.
This became the origin of UnSquirrel's caregiving and family support features.
Who It's For
Designed with neurodivergent users at its heart — and because good design is universal, it works brilliantly for everyone. No disclosure required. Ever.
For Investors
UnSquirrel is seeking $200,000 in pre-seed funding to complete Phase 1 development and achieve market launch. A rare opportunity to invest in a category-defining platform at its earliest stage.
