About

MaxDex

Features
Read full description

MaxDex is an AI accountability coach that calls your phone. Max plans your day around your energy, rings you in the morning to set it up, and calls again in the evening to check whether you actually did it. A to-do list is easy to ignore. A call is not. AN ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER THAT PHONES YOU • Morning wake up call: Max walks you through today's plan before the day gets away from you • Evening check-in: a short review of what got done and what moves to tomorrow • Reminder calls when it matters, instead of another notification you swipe away • Two-way voice conversation. Talk it through and Max updates your plan AI DAY PLANNER BUILT AROUND YOUR ENERGY You are not the same person at 9am and 3pm. MaxDex builds a 48-hour energy forecast from your sleep and steps and lays it over your planner, so demanding work lands in your peaks and easier tasks in your dips. When the day changes, Max reshuffles it. FOR ADHD, PROCRASTINATION AND TASK PARALYSIS If you know what to do but can't start, MaxDex gives you the outside structure a list never does: a voice that checks in, one next step at a time, and follow-up that notices when something slipped. It works a lot like body doubling, without a video call. GOAL TRACKER AND HABIT TRACKER Turn a big goal into a roadmap, and the roadmap into today's tasks. Track habits, steps and workouts in plain language. ENERGY TRACKER, NO WATCH NEEDED See your body and mind energy level hour by hour, what is driving it right now, and when your next peak is. SLEEP TRACKER AND AI CALORIE COUNTER • Sleep score and sleep history synced from Apple Health, or logged in a tap • Snap a photo of a meal to log calories and macros AN AI LIFE COACH YOU CAN TEXT OR CALL Chat with Max anytime. Max already knows your plan, your sleep and your energy, so the answers are about your day, not generic advice. WHO IT IS FOR People who know what to do and still don't do it. Freelancers and remote workers with no one checking in. Anyone with ADHD, a habit of procrastinating, or a to-do list that quietly became a museum. MaxDex is a productivity app, not a medical treatment. YOUR DATA MaxDex reads step count and sleep from Apple Health only with your permission, plus whatever you log yourself. It does not read heart rate or medical data. Your data is never sold or used for advertising. SUBSCRIPTION MaxDex is free to download. Scheduled AI calls and unlimited AI features need a MaxDex subscription, billed through your Apple ID. Plans, prices and what each includes are shown in the app before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation; the subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Cancel anytime in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions. Privacy Policy: https://maxdexai.com/privacy Terms of Use: https://maxdexai.com/terms
