Welcome to KageGuide​

for iPhone

KageGuide: An AI academic assistant designed for students with ADHD or Dyslexia. Get personalized plans, smart reminders, and adaptive learning support to help you succeed. Inspired by our clients’ stories of students today struggling with academic structure and focus, the team at the Speech Innovation Lab created this project for the growing neurodiverse community.

The app isn’t meant to address every need but rather to offer a simple and playful tool to help you stay on track. While it primarily targets college students, it’s likely helpful for others too. Business professionals can adapt it by treating courses as projects. We hope you enjoy it!

We’ve also included guided meditation for those times when you just need a moment to relax and reset.

KageGuide: Your Personal Academic Shadow
 
The app works on iOS 17.6, but to use Widgets, you’ll need iOS 18 or higher.
 
In Japanese, “Kage” means shadow—KageGuide is like having a dedicated shadow to help you succeed in school! Enter your courses, assignments, and syllabus, and let KageGuide handle the tracking for you. Using advanced AI, KageGuide adapts to your learning style—whether it’s ADHD, Dyslexia, both, or none—creating a personalized, step-by-step plan to help you stay on track. For students without specific learning needs, selecting “None” provides a standard approach. 
 
Need adjustments? Provide feedback, and KageGuide will refine your plan until it’s just right.
 
Visualize with Emojis
 
Bring your assignments to life with emojis! KageGuide lets you add emojis to represent each course or assignment, giving your task list a fun, visual boost to help you stay organized and motivated.
 
KageNudge: Stay On Track, Your Way
 
Activate KageNudge to get perfectly timed reminders for any assignment. Whether your deadline is three months away or just one hour, KageNudge delivers timely nudges to keep you focused. Customize how “nudgey” you want KageGuide to be, or turn notifications on or off for the entire app with a single tap.
 
Seamless Integration with Your iPhone
 
Love your iPhone’s Calendar and Reminders? KageGuide syncs effortlessly, keeping your assignments up-to-date across all your tools.
 
Guided Meditation
While not related to organization and structure, we did feel that some days, students (and adults)  just need a moment to chill.  You will hear a “Guided Fantasy Meditation” read by Dr. Ethan F. Becker, our CEO, as he takes you on a motivational and empoowering journey.  Or,  you can “Chill”  and vibe to the sounds of a Costa Rican rainforest, Cape Code Beach, or New England Spring Day.  All original recordings, captured with an iphone.
 
 
Easy Backup and Sharing
 
Switching phones or want to share your data? KageGuide’s import/export feature lets you back up and transfer your information without a hitch—no need to start from scratch.
 
CarPlay Support for On-the-Go Learners
 
If you drive, KageGuide works with CarPlay to read your assignments and to-do items aloud, allowing you to review tasks while on the road.
