About Coji Universe
I built Coji because I needed something like it and it didn't exist. After long COVID left me with energy that changes from one day to the next, and a dyspraxia diagnosis that took years to actually understand, I got tired of tools that assume everyone wakes up with the same brain and the same battery every morning. Coji is what I wished I'd had while I was working out how to live inside a body and a mind that don't run the way most software expects.
My Mission
My aim is straightforward, even if getting here hasn't been. I want to build tools that work with the way neurodivergent brains actually function, instead of penalising anyone who can't think or move in a straight line. Nothing here is about smoothing people out until they're easier for a system to process.
The Problem I'm Solving
For years I didn't understand why the tools everyone else swore by never quite worked for me. Most productivity and wellbeing apps are built around a version of a person who has steady energy every day, thinks in a straight line, and finishes what they start without much friction, and I am not that person, and neither are most of the people I've come to know through this project.
Long COVID was what forced me to notice how far my energy could swing from one day to the next, and how much I'd been pushing through without realising it. Around the same time I finally understood what dyspraxia meant for me beyond a word tucked into a file from university, and how much of my life had been steered by ADHD, sensory sensitivity, and a nervous system that runs on its own schedule. None of the apps I tried had room for any of that. They wanted a consistency I couldn't offer, and they penalised me for not having it, relentlessly.
So I started building something that could hold all of that instead of ignoring it, a tool that understands spoon theory and executive dysfunction and the strange arithmetic of chronic illness, where getting through an ordinary day can cost more than anyone without the condition would ever guess. That's the problem Coji exists to solve, because I lived it long before I ever tried to build my way out of it.
My Values
These principles guide everything I build
Neurodiversity Celebration
I don't think neurodivergent brains are broken. They're different, and that difference has real value, so every tool I build is meant to work with your brain rather than against it.
Evidence-Based Design
Every feature is grounded in real research on ADHD, autism and chronic illness, then tested against my own lived experience and the experiences of the people using Coji.
Community-Driven
Coji started with one neurodivergent person trying to solve their own problem, and it now grows through a community shaped by needs I recognise because I've had them myself.
Accessibility First
Large text, high contrast, dyslexia-friendly fonts and a clear layout aren't details I bolt on at the end. They're where the design starts.
What I Believe
No masking required. Be authentically you.
Energy management over productivity.
Self-compassion, not self-optimisation.
Sustainable systems, not hustle culture.
Your brain is wonderful exactly as it is.
Built With Lived Experience
Coji Universe started with me, working out my own brain and body while trying to build something that could actually help, and it has grown into a small community of neurodivergent people who test, question, and shape every feature before it goes anywhere near a wider release. Nothing ships because it looked good on paper. It ships because someone who actually lives with these conditions tried it and said it made a difference.
I'm based in London, working alongside community members and advisors from further afield, and I'm still learning new things about how my own brain works, sometimes on a weekly basis. Coji grows alongside that learning, out in the open, built by people who would rather be honest about what they don't yet know than pretend the work is finished.
