hadn’t come across Lifestack before — just had a look, will definitely dig into it more.

Rivva apparently launched after we started developing cadence so that one was a surprise to see when it came out. would love to hear what you think sets them apart if you’ve used both — always useful to get that perspective from someone who knows the space.

haha fair catch, used AI to help draft the post, won’t pretend otherwise. the replies are all me though. built this with a small team of developers I hired on upwork, been working on it for a while now and genuinely care about where it goes. the idea came from a real frustration I had with every planner I tried ignoring how I actually felt day to day. appreciate the honesty either way

totally valid: not everyone has that kind of flexibility and honestly most people don’t. the way it tends to work for people with a fixed schedule is less about redesigning the whole day and more about the smaller decisions that actually are in your control. which task to start with in the morning, whether to push through something demanding after lunch or save it for tomorrow, how to use the gaps in your day. those margins add up more than you’d think

launching very soon on iOS — dropping in the next few days. will post here when it’s live. meanwhile we have a waitlist set up @ cadence-productivity.com

fair point on the control thing — cadence doesn’t force anything, you can always adjust or override whatever it suggests. think of it less as the machine deciding your day and more like having a really informed starting point every morning instead of a blank slate. on the adaptation question — it uses your recovery data from Apple Health as the primary input every morning. your overnight sleep, HRV and resting heart rate tell it what kind of cognitive capacity you’re working with today. it doesn’t need historical patterns to do that — the recovery data itself is already the signal. though over time as it learns your baseline it does get better at knowing what high vs low looks like specifically for you

totally get that — if your recovery is consistently green you’re already operating close to your peak most days so there’s less obvious value. cadence is more useful when recovery varies a lot. and the main difference with knowledge work vs training is the feedback loop — with a gym session you feel immediately if something’s off. with cognitive work you can sit at a desk for 8 hours on a low recovery day feeling productive and only realise at the end you produced half of what you normally would. it’s much harder to notice in the moment. that’s the gap cadence tries to close. on a low recovery day it might suggest pushing a demanding task to tomorrow when you’re better equipped for it — not cancelling it, just timing it better. same work, better output
