Nobody Taught You How to Run a Life Around Your Craft.

You became a freelancer, founder, or independent because you're exceptional at what you do. But now you spend most of your time on invoicing, managing, emailing, marketing — the business-owner-you doing work the craftsperson-you never signed up for. The result: guilt, avoidance, and less and less time doing what you're actually great at.

A Daily Practice, Not Another Tool

Morning 2 minutes

Pick your Big 3 from this week's priorities.

Evening 60 seconds

Review what happened. Carry forward or let go.

Weekly AI-assisted

Compass reviews your task list and asks: is this still you? Not AI-generated plans - just the right question at the right time.

How It Actually Works

Import your tasks

Import your tasks

Connect Todoist, TickTick, Linear, or Things. Your existing tasks flow in automatically — no manual entry, no switching tools. Compass becomes the lens, not another inbox.

Pick your Big 3

Pick your Big 3

Every morning, Compass surfaces your weekly priorities and asks one question: what are the three things that matter most today? Two minutes. No overwhelm. Just clarity.

Confront what's stale

Confront what's stale

Once a week, AI reviews your task list and surfaces what you've been avoiding. Not to guilt you — to help you make a conscious choice: recommit, release, or someday.

All Your Tools, One Compass

Compass pulls your tasks from the tools you already use. No switching required.

Compass isn't another task manager. It's a focusing lens for the ones you already have.

You've never touched it. You keep it because letting go feels like giving up. Compass helps you face those stale commitments and make a conscious choice: recommit, release, or someday. Not a tool problem — a boundaries problem. And you can learn to fix it.
