## What is Coach?

Coach turns one plain sentence into a realistic day, then stays kind when the day doesn't go as planned. No account.

WRITE IT THE WAY YOU THINK
• Type "Call Sam 15 min tomorrow at 2pm" and Coach fills in the day, the time and the length. Dutch works too.
• Start a line with "idea:" to park it for your weekly review instead of planning it.

A DAY THAT FITS
• Now and Next show what's on and what comes after, with your free time in view: "45 min free until your call".
• Plan what fits places your flexible tasks around your blocks, breaks and working hours, and shows what won't fit before the day does.
• Routines return on the days you pick. Skip today, pause or stop any time.
• Week shows Monday to Sunday as glasses that fill with your plan. When a day holds more than fits, Coach offers one move to a lighter day, with undo.
• Show your calendars and events appear as meetings, read-only, so the plan works around them.

RESCUE THE REST OF TODAY
• When a block's time passes and it isn't done, that's information, not a verdict.
• One tap to move it, shrink it, send it to tomorrow, park it or mark it done. You see the new plan first, with undo.

FOCUS, ONE THING AT A TIME
• Start a focus block and the whole screen turns cobalt, with a countdown in big serif numerals.
• The timer follows you to the Lock Screen and the Dynamic Island. Pause, add 5 minutes or mark it complete from there.
• In long blocks, Coach can ask "What are you working on right now?" Answer from the notification or turn check-ins off.

CLOSE THE DAY, PLAN THE WEEK
• Close the day gives every open task a place: tomorrow, later or done. Note your win and tomorrow's first step; it comes back in the morning.
• Each Monday, look back and choose one outcome, its likely obstacle and your if-then plan. Pick one number to watch, or make a parked idea a one-week test.

BUILT FOR SOLO FOUNDERS
• End a task with #build, #sell or #admin and see how your week splits.
• A ship log keeps what you shipped.
• Share your week in one tap.

SEE WHERE YOUR FOCUS WENT
• "You showed up 8 of your last 10 workdays." Consistency without streaks that reset. After ten blocks, your real pace against your estimates.

ALWAYS WITHIN REACH
• A heads-up before each block, a morning plan and an evening close. After you close the day, it stays quiet. Each one can be switched off.
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show your next move and your day.
• Ask Siri to start focus, rescue your day, plan your week or close the day. Start focus from Control Center or the Action button, too.

A COACH THAT STAYS ON YOUR PHONE
• On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, the on-device coach offers a small, concrete next step and remembers the first step you chose last night.
• Tap Remember this under a reply to keep its step. Notes stay on this iPhone, outside your plan and backups.
• If a message sounds like a hard moment, Coach sets planning aside and shows real help lines instead. No AI in between.
• It runs entirely on your iPhone, so your messages never leave it. No cloud AI. The rest works on any iPhone with iOS 26.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no ads, no tracking. Subscriptions run through RevenueCat, anonymously.
• Your plan is stored on your iPhone, and Coach has no server of its own.
• A daily copy of your plan lets you return to an earlier version.
• Export a backup any time and restore it whenever you need it.
