Return asks two quiet questions a day: how willing you felt, and how much was in your hands. Then it connects your answers to what your Apple Watch already records. No long questionnaires, no new habits. From those two taps and up to seventeen Apple Health signals (sleep, HRV, activity, mindfulness, ambient noise and more), Return builds a small model that is entirely yours. It doesn't just show a score: it surfaces the few factors that moved your sense of autonomy up or down, and gives an honest range instead of false precision. Everything stays on your device. Entries, notes, moods and health data are encrypted with a key that never leaves your Keychain. iCloud sync is optional and off by default. No telemetry, no ad SDKs, no cloud analysis. All AI runs on the device with Apple's Foundation Models. - A two-question check-in in about ten seconds - A personal model grounded in self-determination research - Understand, from your own data, why your days differ - What-If: move sleep, HRV, exercise and more to see how tomorrow might shift - Apple Watch app: log in three taps and get an estimate on your wrist, even without your iPhone - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, Dynamic Island, and "Hey Siri, record autonomy" - Optional, end-to-end encrypted weekly sharing with a few friends - Multilingual, following your system settings (with Hong Kong, Taiwan and Simplified Chinese variants) Return is a mirror for your days, not another feed to feed.
