Create Your Account

Open nyura.app in your browser or download the iOS app from the App Store. Tap 'Sign up' and enter your email address. You'll receive a magic link by email — click it and you're in, no password needed. Once inside, Nyura asks you to choose a display language (English, French, German, Spanish, Malay, Hindi, or Chinese) and a theme (light or dark). Take 30 seconds to fill in your profile: your name and timezone. The timezone setting is important — it controls when your daily briefing email arrives and how due dates are calculated. You can always update these in Settings > Profile. [SCREENSHOT: The sign-up screen showing the email field and 'Sign up' button]

Your First Task

Tap the '+' button at the bottom of any screen — a clean sheet slides up. Type your task title in plain language, for example 'Send the invoice to Marc by Friday'. Nyura reads natural language, so you don't need to fill every field manually. Tap the calendar pill to set a due date: you can pick a date from the calendar or type 'tomorrow', 'next Monday', or 'in 3 days'. Tap the priority pill to mark it Low, Medium, or High. If you already have a project set up, tap the project pill to link the task there. Hit 'Save' and your task is captured. To view it, tap the Tasks tab in the bottom bar. Your task will appear in the list, sorted by due date. Tap it to open the detail view, where you can add notes, subtasks, attachments, or change the assignee.

Build Your Habits

Habits in Nyura are recurring tasks you want to do consistently — exercise, reading, drinking water, or anything else you're trying to build into your routine. To create one, go to the Tasks tab and tap 'Habits' at the top, then tap '+'. Give the habit a name, choose how often it repeats (daily, specific days of the week, or weekly), and optionally set a reminder time. Once created, your habit appears in your daily checklist every day it's scheduled. To check it off, simply tap the circle next to it. Nyura tracks your current streak — the number of consecutive days you've completed it — and your overall completion rate. If you miss a day, your streak resets, but your history is preserved so you can see patterns over time. Aim to complete your habits before noon each day; this is when most users find the check-in most effective.

Start Journaling

The Journal tab in Nyura is a private space for daily reflection. To write your first entry, tap 'Journal' in the bottom navigation, then tap the '+' button or the prompt for today. At the top of each entry, you'll see a mood tracker: five icons ranging from very bad to very good. Tap the one that matches how you feel right now — this takes one second and gives Nyura the data it needs to show you mood trends over time. Below the mood selector, type your reflection freely. There's no template you have to follow, but many users find it useful to answer three questions: What went well today? What was challenging? What do I want to focus on tomorrow? Once you've written a few entries, go to Journal > Insights to see your mood chart. Nyura plots your mood over the past 7, 30, or 90 days, alongside your task completion rate, so you can spot correlations between your workload and your wellbeing.

Explore the Dashboard

The Dashboard is your command centre — the first screen you see when you open Nyura. It pulls together everything that matters today into one place. At the top, you'll see a greeting and the current date. Below that, three key stats update in real time: tasks due today, habits completed, and your current mood from your last journal entry. Scroll down to find smart suggestions — Nyura analyses your upcoming tasks and surfaces the two or three things most worth doing right now, based on priority, due date, and how long you haven't touched them. Further down you'll find your agenda for the day (any calendar events or scheduled tasks), followed by a quick-access section for your most-used projects. Tap any card on the Dashboard to go straight to that item. The Dashboard is also where you'll see alert badges: a red badge on the task section means you have overdue items that need attention. Tap it to filter your task list to overdue only. [SCREENSHOT: The Dashboard showing the greeting, stats row, smart suggestions, and today's agenda cards]

Your Learning Path

Once you've set up your account, created your first task, and checked off a habit or two, you have the foundation. The next step is to go deeper into the areas that matter most to you. Next, explore [AI Features](/blog/ai-features-deep-dive), [Analytics](/blog/analytics-insights-guide), [Travel](/blog/travel-module-guide), and [iOS Features](/blog/ios-mobile-features). Each guide focuses on one area and takes about 5 minutes to read. The AI Features guide covers the voice assistant, email summarisation, and smart task suggestions. The Analytics guide shows you how to read your productivity trends and spot where your time actually goes. The Travel guide explains how to connect your email inbox so Nyura automatically picks up your flight and hotel bookings. The iOS Features guide walks through widgets, Siri Shortcuts, and Quick Actions so you can capture tasks and check your agenda without ever opening the app. Come back to this getting-started guide any time you bring a new team member on board — it's designed to be the single page you share when someone asks 'how does this work?'.
