Personal life operating system

The line through everything you're building.

Pillars, projects, habits, and reviews. One system that runs on your semantics instead of a stack of borrowed templates. Plan the day, work the week, and let every rollup write itself.

The system

Six rooms, one house

Every screen answers a different question: what matters today, what moves this week, what you're building, and what it all rolls up to.

Control Center

Open to today: your focus list, this week's objectives, the habit strip, and live badges for where you are in the year.

Projects & Pillars

Projects hang off the pillars of your life and roll up through them. Statuses are yours to shape; templates stamp out the recurring ones.

Habits

Streaks, records, and a 24-week heatmap, all fed by a daily log that takes thirty seconds, not a journaling practice.

PlanRollupClose out

Review cycles

Week, month, quarter, and year run the same rhythm. Rollups derive from what actually happened, never hand-maintained.

Vaults

Reference databases with schemas you design: sixteen field types, relations that link back to projects, and pasted links that unfurl into cards.

The rhythm

Five cadences, one line

Each cadence feeds the next. Days roll into the week, weeks into the month, and by December the annual review mostly writes itself.

Daily

Log the day

Habits, sleep, workouts, a grade, a line of reflection.

Weekly

Run the week

Sunday to Saturday. Objectives up top, a day strip below.

Monthly

Check the arc

Wins, struggles, and how the weeks actually went.

Quarterly

Steer

Projects moved, stalled, or done. Course-correct with data.

Annual

Look whole

A twelve-month assessment across every pillar of your life.

Philosophy

Not another Notion template. A system with opinions.

General-purpose tools make you assemble a life system out of raw databases, and then maintain the machinery forever. Every rollup is a formula you wrote. Every view is a filter you babysit. The tool never knows what a week is to you.

throughline inverts that. The semantics live in the software: weeks run Sunday to Saturday, overdue means the day you committed to came and went, done work files itself by the day you finished it, and projects roll up through the pillars of your life. Purpose-built beats general-purpose, because the system holds the structure and you just live it.
