Most habit trackers treat your habits as binary: check a box, increment a streak. But your life isn’t a series of isolated checkboxes. A morning run makes meditation easier; late-night doomscrolling conflicts with reading before bed. Baseline is a sophisticated, system-oriented habit tracker that treats your habits as an interconnected ecosystem. By mapping habit relationships, logging emotional feedback loops, and tracking progress phases, Baseline helps you build a resilient routine and project your long-term trajectory. SYSTEM-ORIENTED HABIT TRACKING - Four Habit Dynamics: Track habits you want to Start, Stop, Maintain, or Replace. - Habit Synergies: Map relationships between your habits. Define which habits Support, Conflict with, or Require one another to see how your behaviors influence each other. - Phase Lifecycle: Watch your habits graduate through a structured lifecycle from Forming, to Established, to Maintained, and ultimately Completed. DETERMINISTIC ANALYTICS & NARRATIVE AUDITS - Today View: Log habits quickly, view 7-day visual sparkline heatmaps, check streaks, and record your mood on a 5-point scale. - Reviews: Deep-dive into weekly, monthly, and annual charts. Analyze completion rates, mood trends, synergy co-occurrences, and habit type distributions. - Life Audit: Read a monthly narrative timeline automatically generated from your logged activity, mood milestones, and reflections. Completely computed locally—no external servers or AI processing required. AI-POWERED TOOLS - Future Self: Generate speculative, vivid second-person projections of where your current habits are likely leading you in 3 months, 1 year, or 3 years. - Generate from Goal: Enter a natural-language goal (e.g., "prepare for a half marathon") and draft a custom habit stack ready to import. - Extract from Content: Paste text or upload a PDF to extract habit stacks from your favorite articles or books. OFFLINE-FIRST & PRIVACY BY DESIGN - No Accounts Required: No signup, no login, and no passwords. Start tracking instantly. - Local Storage: All habit logs, mood scores, and reflections are saved locally on your device. Your personal data never leaves your phone. - Opt-In Sharing: Publishing and sharing habit stacks with friends or followers is completely opt-in. Shared stacks contain only template configurations—never your private logging history. Set your baseline today and build a lifestyle system that lasts.

Systemiq is the AI-powered systems thinking tool for curious minds. Understand how anything works, why it exists, what could break, and what happens next. Most people see the surface. Systemiq helps you see the system underneath. Whether you're exploring how a stock market functions, why hospitals are designed a certain way, diagnosing a real-world problem, or planning a major goal, Systemiq turns your questions into structured system maps in seconds. ANALYZE ANY SYSTEM Ask about anything: business, technology, biology, infrastructure, psychology, economics, society, and more. Systemiq breaks complex systems into components, flows, inputs, outputs, dependencies, bottlenecks, and failure points—so you can actually understand what’s going on. REVERSE ENGINEER REALITY Why does the QWERTY keyboard exist? Why are supply chains structured the way they are? Why do certain systems outperform others? Systemiq reveals the hidden trade-offs, forces, and design decisions that shape the world around you. PLAN LIKE A SYSTEMS THINKER Turn goals into execution systems. Describe what you want to achieve, and Systemiq helps structure the moving parts: priorities, risks, phases, dependencies, and actionable next steps. DIAGNOSE WHAT’S BROKEN Car won’t start? Team communication keeps failing? Workflow keeps collapsing? Systemiq helps you trace the breakdown, identify root causes, and understand where the system failed. EXPLORE WHAT-IF SCENARIOS What happens if gravity doubles? What if AI replaces a major industry? What if remote work becomes permanent? Simulate cascading consequences and explore second-order effects with AI-guided systems analysis. BUILD CONNECTED UNDERSTANDING Knowledge shouldn’t live in isolated fragments. Systemiq helps connect ideas across domains, helping you recognize patterns, relationships, and recurring system principles. FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO UNDERSTAND, NOT JUST MEMORIZE Systemiq is built for thinkers, builders, students, entrepreneurs, problem-solvers, and endlessly curious minds. Because everything is a system.
