Aphra

Overview

Aphra is a personal AI secretary designed for individuals and professionals who want to offload the daily overhead of communication and scheduling. It connects to your email accounts, calendar, and WhatsApp to surface what matters most through a personalised daily briefing each morning. Rather than acting as a generic chatbot, Aphra operates more like a proactive assistant: it triages incoming email, drafts smart replies, manages your calendar, and handles reminders, notes, and task lists in one unified interface. The platform is available on both mobile and desktop, with voice interaction supported across all paid tiers. The Free plan is available at no cost and requires no credit card. The Pro plan ($17.95 per month, or $179.40 per year) is the recommended tier for everyday users, while the Premium plan ($24.95 per month, or $299.40 per year) targets professionals and power users who need unlimited messaging, auto-scheduling, API access, and team calendar coordination. Aphra positions itself as a significantly more affordable alternative to hiring a human executive assistant.
