Apps

Three iOS health apps, built on the same principles: evidence over engagement mechanics, your own baseline over population norms, and honest uncertainty over fake precision.

In development

RYZR

Become a better riser.

A humane morning companion that helps you start the day before your phone does. No streaks, no guilt, and momentum you can return to after any absence.

Launching soon. Articles on the thinking behind it are in Articles.

In development

Manifest

We don't create change. We reveal it.

A reflection app that surfaces quiet evidence of change from your own words: perspective and agency instead of habit tracking, gamification or fake certainty.

Launching soon. Articles on the thinking behind it are in Articles.

In development

BODENow

One clear read on your state, before it matters.

A pre-performance state check for high-stakes moments. An explicit Apple Watch reading against your own baseline: one state, one recommended action, honest uncertainty when data is stale.

Launching soon. Articles on the thinking behind it are in Articles.

Why "humane"?

Every feature in these apps passes a filter: does it increase evidence, perspective, or agency for the person using it? If a mechanic only exists to manufacture engagement (streaks, guilt notifications, perfect-week pressure), it doesn't ship. This isn't a marketing line; it's a design constraint enforced in the development process, and I write about it openly in Articles.
