ALTERD is your toolkit to explore, understand, and harness altered states as tools for growth, creativity, and connection. Altered states aren’t escapes; they’re portals.
Why I Built ALTERD
Late-night cannabis brainstorms and meditation thoughts used to lived scatted across my reminders and notes app. Revisiting them with fresh, baseline eyes revealed patterns: innovative ideas, emotional insights, meaningful personal growth.
Then, losing my father pushed me deeper into self-exploration. Journaling through grief—guided by meditation, exercise, and psychedelic assisted therapy-gave rise to powerful, transformative "aha" moments. These experiences crystallized into ALTERD, viewing altered states as intentional tools.

The Problem
In all states of mind, brilliant and mystical moments often slip away, unrecorded and forgotten. ALTERD addresses this by providing:

One space to capture every thought—raw or refined.
-
AI tools that summarize, analyze, and suggest next steps.
-
Social Feed – anonymously share and engage within a supportive, active community exploring the mystical, consciousness, and creativity.
-
Knowledge Hub packed with research, education, tips, tutorials, real stories, and more.
