About Nevala
A small accessibility tool that scans video, images, and the pages you browse for specific phobia triggers using AI vision — so people with phobias can navigate media on their own terms.
Why this exists
People with specific phobias face a daily problem that mainstream content warnings don’t solve: a generic “flashing imagery” or “graphic violence” tag tells you nothing about whether this film has spiders, whether that documentary has needles, or where in a 2-hour movie a clown appears. Manual community-curated lists fill some of the gap, but they’re slow, incomplete, and only cover what the community has watched.
Nevala is the small, focused tool that does exactly one thing: scans the media you point it at, for the phobia you choose, and gives you a timecoded map of where the triggers are — so you can skip past them, prepare for them, or decide not to watch.
What it is, and isn’t
Nevala is an accessibility tool, comparable to subtitles for deaf users or photosensitivity filters for people with epilepsy. It helps you make informed choices about the media you consume.
It is not a medical device, diagnostic tool, or therapeutic intervention. It does not diagnose, treat, or cure phobias. The clinical gold standard for treating phobias is CBT-based exposure therapy; if you’re seeking treatment, please consult a licensed mental health professional.
Trigger detection uses AI and is not deterministic. Nevala can miss triggers and can over-flag content that doesn’t actually contain them. Use it alongside your own judgment, especially for high-stakes decisions.
Who built it
Nevala is built and operated by John Muradeli (Individual Entrepreneur), a solo developer based in Tbilisi, Georgia. There is no investor pressure, no growth team, no growth hacks — just one person trying to ship a useful accessibility tool and keep it reliable.
Payments are processed by Paddle.com (Merchant of Record), which handles taxes (VAT/sales tax) and payment disputes globally. AI processing is provided by Google (Vertex AI). Hosting and database are Vercel and Supabase, respectively. See our Privacy Policy for the full list of subprocessors.
How Nevala makes money
One-time purchase. There is no subscription, no ad-supported tier, no freemium dark pattern, and no upsell of “Pro” features. You pay $12 once, which unlocks the extension and includes 1,560 credits (about 5 hours of video scanning). After that, you top up only if and when you need more credits.
Scans are metered at our AI processing cost plus 30%, before payment-processing and tax costs — so the realized margin is thinner than that and varies. The product is positioned as an accessibility tool, not a profit center.
