Eight systems, not eight features.
Every system here reads from the same source: what you recorded. None of them invents an input you never gave, and none of them hides that it doesn’t know.
Your measured hour, not an assumed one
The window starts from your onboarding answer, then corrects itself against your real sessions. If the hour isn’t known yet, no nudge fires — inventing a time is worse than saying nothing.
- Source
- Onboarding answer + focus stats
- When absent
- No nudge, no suggested time
Named kinds of time
Deep focus, rest, or admin — and only deep counts toward deep minutes. The lengths on offer are fixed and known, with forty-five minutes as the default.
- Lengths
- 25 · 30 · 45 · 60 · 90
- Counts
- Deep focus only
Five sub-scores, and an average that may be empty
Focus, consistency, energy, goal alignment, life balance. The composite is unweighted, stays unavailable below two available sub-scores, and leaves out anything still building rather than scoring it zero.
There is no “+12% this week” anywhere in the app. Trend is a delta against last week’s snapshot, or nothing at all.
Observations, only when something backs them
At most three short lines built on real repetition in your own data: a life area untouched for weeks, or sessions that always break at the same hour. With no pattern, the card stays silent.
- Built on
- Your sessions, reviews and habit log
- Never on
- Comparisons with other users
A band, weeks, then the bottleneck
You ask what happens if this goal gets one more hour a week. You get a band, a number of weeks, and the first bottleneck responsible — in a stated order, and the same answer twice.
Goals with no deadline, and goals without enough history behind them, are not simulated — the output would be a guess with no input.
Five angles, a reflection at the end
Impact, effort, time, risk, alignment. Alignment is not “a goal you wrote” — it derives from your life balance, so a choice serving a neglected area scores higher.
- Thin input
- Stops the output instead of padding it
- Unbound
- Reads “Not set”
Four cadences, each with a stated time-box
Daily, weekly, monthly, yearly. Each opens by telling you how long it should take — about five minutes for the day, about twenty for the week — and the weekly one starts from numbers that are already computed, so you are only asked to tell the truth about them.
Off until you bring your own key
The coach does nothing until you pick a provider and paste your own key, which is stored on your device. Turn it on and your block titles, written intentions, open task and goal names and debrief text go to the provider you chose — OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or a server you run yourself — under their policy, not ours. Listed field by field in our privacy policy, because that is the trade and you should get to refuse it.
- Guardrail
- A forbidden-phrase list that blocks promises and manufactured certainty
- Without a key
- The rest of the app is complete
This list grows slowly, on purpose.
Every new system has to read from data that already exists, and know how to say: not enough signal yet.
