PROBLEM

Intent without execution

Weekly planning often breaks down into scattered notes.
Daily check-ins feel heavy instead of quick and rewarding.
Most tools lack a clear feedback loop or adaptation ritual.
Privacy and calm UI are rarely prioritized together.

INTENT

Design a follow-through protocol

Make the next best action obvious.
Keep the daily log under 30 seconds.
Turn weekly reviews into a ritual that adapts the plan.
Keep everything private-first and structured.

SOLUTION

Structured loop

Onboard to weekly plan, daily check-in, weekly review, adapt. The MVP core loop runs online with Supabase Auth, Postgres, and RLS, with a demo mode for local-only walkthroughs.

DESIGN SYSTEM

Instrument-panel interface

Token-driven spacing, tactile cards, reduced-motion support, and a left-rail chrome keep the experience intentional and calm.
