You wrote it down.
Is it still true?
Four minutes of conversation a day with something that won’t agree with you. What you promise is dated. What you drop stays on the record.

The product
This is what it looks like, written.
Select an area (Work, Health, or Personal) and switch tabs or swipe to see the 4-minute conversation and the resulting commitments.
- 1 month Send the two proposals I’ve been sitting on since June.
- 1 quarter Say no to the next job I don’t want — and have it on record.
- 1 year Laptop closed by 6pm every Friday.
- 3 years Live off what I choose, not what I can’t refuse.
- 10 years This still stands if I’m not on it every week.
None of this comes from a form: it comes out of the conversation. Every earlier version stays saved.

The practice is old. What’s new is that what you wrote comes back when it no longer fits, without you having to reread it.
The warning
Quiet, except when
you drift off course.
It won’t ask you to log anything. It speaks when the course and what you do don’t match.
You’re drifting
“You said this quarter was about saying no. Three weeks in, you’ve said yes four more times.”
The course changed
“Two months ago this year was about closing the laptop at 6pm on Fridays. You haven’t brought it up since. Did it change, or did you just let it slide?”
Under the hood
Four jobs,
not one black box.
-
Asks
Runs the four minutes. Won’t take a plan with no date.
-
Observes
Notes what you postpone, what you haven’t named in weeks.
-
Files
Drafts what would be saved. Never saves it on its own.
-
Watches
Every week, checks what you say now against what you said in January.
And one rule above the rest: nothing gets saved without you confirming it.
Pricing
€9 a month.
That’s it.
That’s the sign. No plans to compare, no tiers based on how much you write. Write four minutes or forty, you pay the same.
The first batches don’t pay. Then five, for good.
Ten people in, we learn, nobody is billed. The day billing starts, anyone who came in on these batches stays at €5 a month for as long as they stay. Anyone after that sees €9. Your number doesn’t rise because you’ve stuck around.
Or €72 a year, when it bills.
Two months free, one charge. Nothing to decide now: these batches don’t invoice. You can leave with everything you wrote.
Questions
What if I use ChatGPT for this instead?
The conversation is real, and it’s good. The problem is the opposite of the usual pitch: those AIs do remember. What you say about your partner or what’s eating you ends up in the same tool you work in, on an account you don’t control. Here it lives somewhere that isn’t your job, dated, and it comes back when you stop keeping it. A general assistant is also built so the chat ends well. This one isn’t.
What if I skip a day? Or a week?
A day is fine, and there’s no streak to lose. After three days the conversation starts with the absence, not with manners. Three weeks away actually hurts: the thread goes cold and it’s expensive to pick up. That’s why it’s four minutes, not forty.
Do I have to log or review anything myself?
No. It asks, you answer. No board to maintain, no system to set up. What gets saved, you see at the close, and you confirm it.
Why four minutes?
Because an hour gets postponed and four minutes gets done. Nothing to draft: you talk, it distills.
Is it demanding?
If today contradicts what you said three weeks ago, it puts that on the table. You decide which one stopped being true.
Why €9 and not free?
Because every conversation costs real compute, and a free product ends up paid for with your data, or it dies. Nine euros covers the cost and picks the people who will actually use it. The first batches don’t pay: we’re still learning. If you come in now, you stay at €5 the day billing starts.
Why €5 if the sign says €9?
Anyone coming in now is taking a half-built product and teaching us. That price stays frozen as long as you stay. Dropping the public price to €5 would fill the list with people who wanted a cheap journal, and those people leave in week two.
Can I take my data with me?
Yes. Ask and I’ll send the whole corpus, in JSON and Markdown you can read without us — even after you cancel. The one-click button isn’t there yet; the commitment is.
Opens in batches.
iPhone and web app, nothing to configure. Ten people in, we learn, then the next batch opens. Leave your email and I’ll write when it’s your turn.
