Mission

Modo builds a digital card-deck app that applies evidence-based cognitive techniques to help users capture and process thoughts, practice inhibitory control, complete tasks, and reduce mental clutter. Core features include cognitive offloading, targeted prompts, self-reflection, abstraction laddering, inhibitory-control nudges, and task-completion prompts designed to improve focus and clarity. Modo’s research highlights demand among people who identify as overachievers or neurodivergent and emphasises tailoring the product to those groups’ needs. The company plans to launch an individual subscription product in early 2024 and will open a select early-access group by the end of the year; it expects employer demand to follow. Modo has raised $800,000 to fund the launch and pre-product growth. The founding team includes former leaders from Culture Amp and Linktree and a chief science officer from Deakin University, and the company is based in Naarm (Melbourne, Australia).
