Finish what you start. Stop repeating what you regret. Most AI apps answer whatever you type. Align reads what you actually did: the actions you set, the proof you wrote, the practices you kept. A coach works from that record every day, so you can see what is really running your days and what to change. BUILDING SOMETHING? THAT'S BUILD. A business, a degree, a body of work. You already know what to do. The problem is the days that feel busy and end with nothing to show. In Build you set three actions a day and write one sentence on what really happened for each. The AI grades that proof, out of 25 for your most important action and 20 for the other two, so "worked on it" stops counting as done. By month's end you can see exactly what got finished. STUCK IN THE SAME PATTERN? THAT'S RULE. If your day mostly belongs to a job, your kids or other people, the goal is different: one pattern that stops running you. Snapping at the people you love. The phone at midnight. Starting over every Monday. In Rule you pick one pattern and a few small practices, and tick them off. Nothing is graded. Over the weeks, the coach helps you see when the pattern starts, what it gives you in the moment and where you can step in earlier. Bad days still happen. A miss is information, not a reset. WHAT YOU'LL HAVE AFTER A FEW WEEKS • The pattern, named in plain words, and the moment it usually begins • A heatmap of every day you kept, so you know whether it's working without guessing • Finished work you can point to, separate from work that only felt busy • Proof you've changed: before you move up a tier, the AI checks the evidence WHY IT'S NOT ANOTHER TRACKER OR CHATBOT A tracker counts ticks. Align starts from your record: • Daily Signal: plan your day and get a morning read of yesterday, with the pattern underneath and your next move • Check-ins: morning and evening you set and tick your actions, and the coach asks about the part that slipped • Nightly profile: while you sleep, it updates what it knows about you, so tomorrow starts from your real week • Observer: every 5 to 7 active days, when the evidence is there, a report on what repeated, why and what to test next • Frequencies: a chat with the same coach, who already knows your week It's honest without being harsh. When life is genuinely heavy, Align asks for less. MAKE IT YOURS In Build, choose how the coach grades: Sovereign (balanced), Execution (strictest, shipping first) or Expansion (learning, creating, connecting). An optional Christian faith layer is one toggle away. With Pro, pick any color for the whole app. FREE AND PRO Free: morning and evening check-ins to set and tick your actions or practices, each ending with a question from the coach; AI grading of your proof; the heatmap; tier reviews; the weekly check-in in Build; The Audit (a guided look at one real day); the Daily Signal and short daily lessons on your home screen. Pro: a real conversation with the coach in your check-ins, the nightly profile, Observer reports, Frequencies chat, the worksheet library and custom colors. Sign in during setup and you get 7 days of Pro, free, no card, from your next check-in. It includes one guided worksheet; the others open on a paid plan. Align won't try to motivate you. Motivation changes by the hour. Align keeps the record, and the record shows you what's changing and what isn't yet. Align is a coaching tool, not medical or mental health care.
