NIA Days roadmap.
A calm day planner for heavy days. It shrinks the day to what matters, keeps the things you cannot drop in view, and never makes you feel bad when a day is too much. Everything stays on your phone. We are looking for awards, grants and funding partners: contact hello@lucaintini.ai.
