Read full description

SixSignal helps you reflect on your workdays and spot patterns with a 90-second daily check-in. Rate six signals at the end of each day: Body, Focus, Output, People, Agency, and Meaning. As your baseline grows, SixSignal helps you notice what supports your best work, where your focus holds, when energy and output line up, and what may be worth adjusting tomorrow. No streak pressure. No mood tracking. No generic productivity hacks. Just your own workday data turned into calmer insight and one clearer next step. WHAT SIXSIGNAL DOES • 90-second daily check-in across six workday signals • Pattern insights that build from your own data • Try Tomorrow actions that turn patterns into small experiments • Calm insight cards with signal, evidence, and meaning • Trends that help you understand your work rhythm over time • A lightweight reflection loop designed for knowledge workers THE SIX SIGNALS Body — physical readiness for the day Focus — your ability to sustain attention Output — meaningful work moved forward People — collaboration and social load Agency — how much control you had over your day Meaning — whether the day felt connected to what matters PATTERNS UNLOCK AS YOU TRACK SixSignal does not pretend to know everything from one entry. Early check-ins build your baseline. As more data becomes available, the app starts surfacing clearer patterns, shifts, and signals you can act on. SIXSIGNAL PRO SixSignal Pro unlocks deeper pattern insights, signal trends, and Try Tomorrow actions. Available plans: • Founding Yearly • Yearly • Monthly The free version includes daily check-ins and pattern previews as your baseline grows. BUILT FOR WORK REFLECTION SixSignal is not a mood tracker, habit tracker, or wellness app. It is a calm work reflection tool for people who want to understand their own workday patterns — and make tomorrow a little clearer.
