How to use Compound

Getting started
Add your top 3 goals — things you're actually working toward this month or semester.
Add 2–5 daily habits. Small, specific, repeatable. "Read 10 pages" not "Read more."
Each morning, write 3 todos — the things that matter most today.
Daily workflow
Check your morning briefing to see Apex's plan for your day.
Log habits by ticking them off each day. Streaks build momentum.
Use the Focus Timer when you want a stretch of uninterrupted work.
Cross off todos as you finish them.
AI features
Apex Advisor — reads your goals and habits and suggests a next step.
Build habits & tasks — Apex generates a tailored plan from your goals.
Weekly report — a summary of how your habits went.
Plan my day — Apex writes your todo list from your active goals.
Tips
Set your "What I'm building" context at the top — it helps Apex give better advice.
Small steps add up. A little each day is plenty.
A minute a day is enough to keep things up to date.

One quick thing

Can I send you a welcome email and a gentle reminder on days you haven't logged your habits yet? No newsletters. Just useful reminders from me personally.

What you actually get

One screen for everything you're trying to become.

Your goals, the habits that feed them, and today's tasks — side by side. No switching between five apps that don't talk to each other.

How it works

Three simple steps.

Setup takes about a minute.

1

Name what you're building

One goal, in your words. "Launch my app," "hit 5k followers," "get my first paying customer."

2

Apex breaks it down

It turns that goal into concrete steps and a few daily habits to support it.

3

Check things off

Track it daily. Streaks and sparklines make the progress visible, and Apex can point out what might need attention.

Inside the system

Built for people working on something of their own.

Everything you need for the day, in one place.

⚡

Apex Advisor

Reads your streaks, goals and history, then offers practical suggestions. Powered by Claude.

🎯

Goals with real steps

Big goals become ordered, checkable actions so you always know the next step.

🔥

Streaks + sparklines

Seven-day sparkline per habit, so you can see which ones are steady and which could use some attention.

☀️

Morning briefing

Apex plans your day and emails it before you open your laptop. Optional, and off by default.

⏱

Focus timer

Pomodoro sessions in the same place as your work, so starting doesn't mean opening another app.

📓

The Ledger

A weekly check-in: what to keep, what to change, what to add. For the habits that don't fit a checkbox.

Questions

Before you sign up.

Is it really free?

Yes — every feature, including the Apex AI coach. No credit card, no trial period, no upsell. AI messages have a fair-use cap of 15 per day, resetting at midnight UTC, so one person can't run up the bill for everyone.

Do I have to be a student or a founder?

No. It's built around goals, habits and daily execution, which isn't specific to either. It's shaped for people building something on the side, so that's who it speaks to — but nothing stops you using it for anything else.

What AI powers the Apex Advisor?

Claude, by Anthropic. It reads your actual goals, habits and tasks, so the advice is about your situation rather than generic productivity tips.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. It's a web app that works in any mobile browser, and you can add it to your home screen to use it like a native app.

What happens to my data?

It's never sold. AI features send only what's needed to generate a response. Full detail in the Privacy Policy.

Will it stay free?

Yes. Everything listed on this page is free and stays free — nothing you're using today will move behind a paywall. If a paid tier is ever added it'll be for new capability on top.

Ready when you are.

Setup takes about a minute, and it's free.

To-do

Write what needs to happen today. Check things off as you do them. Keep it short — 3 to 5 things max.
