Myndfulness @ Home
Mynah gives the house a calmer sense of time: ambient glow, voice when invited, music without the scroll, and a bridge into Castalia's instruments for inquiry and learning.
Mynah starts from domestic attention rather than phone attention. Its default behavior is a full-screen time-of-day glow with conservative night brightness, slow transitions, and just enough status to keep a room oriented without opening a feed.
A slow lift toward morning: rose, peach, and a little cool sky.
Neutral presence, often nearly off, so the object can fade into the room.
Warm wind-down cues with brightness falling before contrast starts to feel sharp.
Orientation-only nightlight levels for nurseries, kitchens, and bedside tables.
Mynah can coordinate voice, rooms, music, LAN discovery, and pocket satellites, but the product posture stays cell-free: no social feed, no notification casino, no pocket rectangle asking to be checked again.
Android ambient mode keeps the mini-phone form factor readable as a quiet table, shelf, or outlet-side object.
Shared Edge Functions route short voice turns, speech-to-text, faculty-flavored replies, and TTS without turning conversation into another attention surface.
Spotify and LAN/Home Assistant work make Mynah a small coordination point for household audio and status, not a general-purpose phone replacement.
Mynah is the cell-free household node. Astrolabe is its round pocket satellite for questions, time, moon, memory, and room presence. Atlas provides purpose-built learning compute around the same home.
The main hardware expression stays phone-shaped: portrait rectangle, one dominant glowing face, thin enough for pockets and docks. The images stay grounded in real surfaces rather than imaginary product silhouettes.
Light enough to orient a room without turning a quiet hour into a ceiling-light event.
A steady cue for time, music, and household state while hands are elsewhere.
Current build map
The Android app is the primary home surface. Supabase functions provide shared voice and faculty routes. Astrolabe/Pocketwatch is the round satellite path for the home, while Atlas names the larger learning-compute family around it.
Mynah is an open build for Myndfulness @ Home: less feed, more rhythm, and a home node with Astrolabe in the pocket and Atlas in the learning room.
