There are many things that can change your course. We make goals, we make plans and most of them we never reach. Overthinking, anxiety, the heavy days they pull us away from our own personal legend and change our course for good. I often wondered how to stay on course no matter which tide comes in. That's how the idea for this app was born. I hope it gives you the same tight grip it gave me so you can steer the ship toward your goals and ambitions. Here's what's on board: YOUR YEAR, IN PLAIN SIGHT Open the app and see the whole year as a grid of days the ones you've spent, the ones you have left. Live progress bars for your hour, day, week, month and year, always moving. No feeds, no streaks, no noise. Just the honest truth about time. A STOIC VOICE, DAILY A hand-picked Stoic quote every day, with cinematic black & white videos playing quietly behind it. Turn on daily notifications and the right words find you at the right time. WHEN THE STORM COMES, WRITE Tap any day in your life calendar and journal what's pulling you off course the overthinking, the worry, the doubt. Name the storm, then get back to steering. GO PRO, MAKE IT YOURS • Add your own videos your people, your places, whatever actually moves you • Home Screen widgets: your progress, your year grid, your daily quote always in view • Every progress-bar colour • Daily Stoic quote notifications to keep you on course Pay monthly, yearly, or once and keep it forever.
