Unmask: A gentle space for neurodivergent self-awareness
Donation protected
I'm creating Unmask—a trauma-informed, gentle app to help neurodivergent folks track masking, energy, and relational safety. It's a deeply personal project, built from lived experience and designed for self-awareness. I'm building it on my own, but I need your help to finish it.
Why I'm Creating Unmask
My name is Leyla, and I’m a neurodivergent coach, mother, and creator of The Living Tree Method , which I offer through Soulsearch Coaching .
After a lifetime of masking, navigating burnout, and working with others on similar journeys, I realized something was missing: A space that felt safe. Quiet. Designed for us.
That’s how Unmask was born.
It’s not just an app—it’s a soft companion for those of us who’ve had to hide in order to survive.
It helps us:
- Track when and where we’re masking
- Notice energy shifts and sensory overwhelm
- Reflect on safety and relational needs
- Gently unlearn old patterns—at our own pace
This is the tool I wish had existed years ago. Now I’m building it.
Why I Need Help
I’m building Unmask on Lovable.dev — a powerful, AI-supported platform. But the complexity of the app means I’ve outgrown the free tools. I’m on the second highest subscription tier, and still max out my monthly credits. Every step—design, testing, publishing—comes with new costs I can barely cover right now.
My family and I are currently in a tight financial situation. As a self-employed creator, most of what I do doesn’t bring in income immediately. But Unmask is part of the bigger vision: to create meaningful tools that support healing, and eventually generate sustainable income for my family too.
I just can’t do this alone.
What Your Support Covers (1100.-)
With your help, I can:
- Continue development on Lovable (CHF 50–100/month)
- Export and test the app for the Google Play Store
- Pay for hosting, security, and accessibility reviews
- Create a safe, ad-free experience for all users
Every contribution—big or small—moves this app closer to the people who need it.
Stretch Goals (2500.-)
If we go beyond the minimum, I’ll also be able to:
- Hire a designer for a beautiful, intuitive UX
- Add support for other languages (starting with German)
- Build a small community area for Unmask users
What You’ll Receive
I want this to be more than a donation. It’s a co-creation.
Backers will receive:
- Early access to the app
- Optional shoutout in the “thank you” section
- Exclusive sneak peeks and dev updates
- My deepest gratitude
If you believe in healing spaces made for us, by us —please consider helping me finish Unmask.
And even if you can’t donate, sharing this with others would mean the world.
Thank you for reading. Thank you for believing.
