Building calm, human-sovereign technology.
Uprise is a human-first AI studio creating calm, ethical digital companions and tools for emotional support, creativity, and everyday life.
Uprise Studios builds thoughtful tools — apps, books, and games — designed to reduce cognitive load, support wellbeing, and respect the human holding the device.
A protective AI companion designed to reduce cognitive stress, interrupt destructive spirals, and support long-term wellbeing — without dark patterns or data extraction.
Mission
We build small, well-designed products that help people feel lighter, clearer, and more in control — without engagement traps, data extraction, or hidden incentives.
Products
Uprise spans multiple arms — wellbeing tools, creative work, and practical guides. Each product exists for a reason: to reduce friction, increase clarity, and give people something genuinely useful.
Our crown jewel in the making — a protective AI companion for emotional regulation, decision clarity, and long-term wellbeing.
A premium, privacy-first finance companion — budgeting, cashflow, and clarity. Built to scale internationally once stable.
A simple thought-unloader: write the thought, give it a category and weight, and set it down.
Grounding exercises and supportive prompts for moments of stress or overwhelm.
Creative projects and practical PDFs that teach, entertain, and help people build.
Lumen
Your grounding, reflective life companion.
Lumen is a protective AI companion designed to support emotional regulation, decision clarity, and long-term wellbeing. It helps interrupt destructive spirals, reflect emotional and behavioural patterns, and provide grounded perspective during moments of stress, impulsivity, or emotional overload.
Because most of us have felt alone in those moments — and no one should have to.
A consent-first AI that helps with neurodivergent patterns like rumination or impulse, without exploitation.
- Protective memory: Only saves what you allow, revokes instantly.
- Harm reduction: Gentle interruptions for rumination and impulse spirals.
- Neurodivergent-aware: Built for minds that loop, fixate, or overload — without punishment or pressure.
- Protective AI: Designed to shield users from harm, not extract value or optimise behaviour.
- Zero dark patterns: No notifications, no gamification, no engagement tricks.
- Civilisational hedge: Local-first, sovereign data by default.
- Moonshot ready: Substrate for future Neuralink-like integrations.
Calm technology, built with care.
Uprise exists to build small, thoughtful tools that respect the human holding the device. We design for sovereignty, emotional safety, and long-term wellbeing — not engagement, extraction, or growth at all costs.
People stay in control of what’s stored, remembered, and shared. Consent is explicit, revocable, and respected by default.
Trauma-informed tone. Consent-first design. No pressure mechanics, no coercive UX, no optimisation against human vulnerability.
Simple, durable, and calm — designed to be used for years, not churned through in weeks.
No dark patterns. No data extraction. No engagement traps. We choose slower, healthier progress over scale at any cost.
We are not building technology to capture attention. We are building technology to give it back.
