GroundworkOS vs Ennoa

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/

Ennoa is a private notebook for the time between therapy sessions. A conversation, a feeling, a dream or something you realized on the bus — it is easy to forget by the time you are back in the room. Ennoa gives these moments a safe place to live, so you can find them again when it makes sense to you. MADE FOR YOUR APPROACH Tell Ennoa how you like to work and the app adapts its tools and language: • CBT — situations, thoughts, emotions and behaviors • Psychoanalysis / Psychodynamic — dreams with themes and words, open writing, associations, memories and a dictionary of the words that keep coming back • Systemic — people, relationships, contexts and a map of your connections • General — free-form entries with notes and feelings that work for any approach, including ACT, Gestalt, Humanistic and Jungian Not sure which approach fits you? Answer a few short questions to explore your affinities. It is a preference guide, never a diagnosis. You can switch modes any time — your history always stays, and even the app icon follows your mode. WRITE OR SPEAK Tap + on the Home tab and write a free note, or record your voice and read the transcript. No required fields, no formatting, no pressure. In open writing, Focus mode fades your words as you type, so you can keep going without censoring yourself. WHEREVER YOU ARE • Home Screen widgets and Siri shortcuts to capture a thought without opening the app • On Apple Watch, log how you feel or record a voice note from your wrist — it lands on your iPhone GET READY FOR YOUR SESSIONS Add your session schedule and get a heads-up ahead of time and a reminder the day before. Want to bring something along? Export only the entries you choose as a PDF. SEE YOUR WEEK Home shows how many entries you made this week and your most recent notes, without scores or "progress" metrics. FIND IT AGAIN My process lists everything you have written, across every mode, with search. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT • Works offline, no account required • Entries are stored on your device with iOS data protection • Optional backup: sign in with Apple to keep your entries in the cloud — voice recordings always stay on your device • Nothing is shared with therapists; no ads, no tracking HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT "Get help now" is always one tap away, with a direct call to the emotional support line of the country you are in — 988 in the US — and to the people you trust. WHAT ENNOA IS NOT Ennoa is not therapy and does not replace a psychologist, psychiatrist or emergency service. It does not diagnose, interpret your notes or recommend treatment. You decide what to write, what to revisit and what to take to your sessions. Ennoa is intended for people aged 18 and older.
