Sagehand

Throughout history, only the powerful had access to great counsel. Kings had Zhuge Liang. Emperors had their advisors. The rest faced their hardest decisions alone. Sagehand changes that. --- Meet your Personal Pocket Aristotle. Sagehand is an AI-powered strategic thinking companion — sharp, direct, and deeply human. Informed by Sun Tzu, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Krishnamurti. Built on the belief that you already have the answers inside you. Not a therapist. Not a financial advisor. Not a life coach. A strategist. --- THE LIFE VISION EXERCISE Before Sagehand helps you get somewhere, it needs to know where you're going. The Life Vision exercise bypasses the analytical mind and surfaces what you truly want. Not what looks good to others. What you — honestly, unabashedly — want. Early users describe the analysis as "shockingly accurate." This is where your journey begins. --- STRATEGY SESSIONS Bring Sagehand any situation — romance, career, finances, friendships, mental resilience, health, or a major decision you can't stop thinking about. Sagehand asks the questions others are too polite to ask. Names the thing you already know but haven't said out loud. It gives you clarity. Then trusts you to act. --- YOUR FOCUS AREAS After your Life Vision analysis, Sagehand identifies the specific areas of your life most worth working on — named in a way that only applies to you. --- YOUR TAKEAWAYS At the end of every session, capture what emerged. Export to Notes. Return to it. Act on it in your own time. --- THE SELF-AFFIRMATION STAR Once or twice a day, acknowledge the days you moved forward. Every 10 stars, a piece of wisdom from history's greatest minds. Earned, not given. --- PREMIUM. PRIVATE. YOURS. Your Life Vision analysis is stored on your device. Your conversations are never used to train AI models without consent. Dark and light mode. Built for the person who takes their life seriously. --- Sagehand is a thinking companion, not a licensed professional service. For legal, financial, or medical matters — please consult a qualified professional. Sagehand uses AI to generate responses for reflective purposes only. --- SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION - Monthly: S$4.98/month (auto-renews) - Annual: S$49.98/year (auto-renews) - Lifetime: S$149.98 (one-time purchase) Payment charged to Apple ID at purchase confirmation. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage in App Store settings.
