GroundworkOS is a personal operating system built for the hard seasons of life — chronic illness, caregiving, burnout, grief, and the daily work of staying grounded when everything feels uncertain. Built by a founder navigating his wife's stage IV cancer diagnosis, GroundworkOS is the system he wished he had. Not a meditation app. Not a mood tracker. A daily practice infrastructure — for people who know the difference between surviving and building a foundation. The Guide Your AI companion learns your story across every conversation. Talk through hard things, log health data by voice, ask it to reflect your patterns back to you. Four voices available — Elder, Sensei, Companion, Goddess. Same wisdom, different energy. The Mirror Morning and evening check-ins. Weekly and monthly reflections. First thought, best thought. Everything you write deepens your Guide's understanding of who you are. The Gates Five daily practices across Mind, Body, Spirit, Money, and Garden. Small, repeatable rituals that give your day structure when everything else feels uncertain. The Battery Track sleep, food, movement, and hydration. Biology first. When the body is solid, everything else has a foundation to stand on. The Calendar Log sleep, food, movement, hydration, medications, supplements, side effects, weight, and appointments. Log here or just tell your Guide. Daily Rundown is a quick 2 minute morning check in with your Guide that logs: Sleep, Food, Movement and Hydration. Basecamp Your daily dashboard. A visual reminder that every day is a climb — and every step counts. Especially designed for caregivers, people navigating chronic illness, burnout, loss, and anyone in a hard season who is ready to build something solid underneath them. Less than a quarter a day. Less than $70 a year. Practice for the daily climb. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
