FAQ

Questions answered honestly.

Is this just another productivity app? +
No. Productivity apps optimise how you work. This addresses whether you are willing to pay the actual price of what you want. We deliberately have no gamification, no motivational quotes, and no fake streaks.
How is the AI price calculated? +
The AI analyses your specific goal and generates a realistic breakdown covering time, money, comfort sacrifices, identity shifts, and the compounding cost of delay. Calibrated to be honest, not optimistic.
What if I miss a day? +
You record it honestly. Missing days is part of the data. The goal is not a perfect streak — it is an honest relationship with what you are doing versus what you say you want.
Is my data private and secure? +
Goals and check-ins are stored on your device only. Nothing reaches our servers except the goal text during AI processing, which is discarded after your report generates. GDPR compliant, SSL encrypted, zero data selling.
Is a mobile app coming? +
iOS and Android launching Q3 2026. The web app is fully mobile-optimised in the meantime. Existing users get early access at no extra cost.

Stop guessing.
Start optimising.

The gap between where you are and where you want to be has an exact price. The Cost shows you that price — then helps you pay it, every day.
