Daily check-in
Scout starts each day by asking how you feel. Your answer shapes what Scout asks of you.
One task per goal, every day.
Not a to-do list. A partner who knows you.
Tasks that adapt to your schedule, your patterns, and what the research says works. Built for people who are done starting over. Every Sunday, a letter about your week.
Week 5 of 6
Write the two sentences you'd say to your team about the reorg. Read them aloud once.
Sunday letter
You have started three Monday mornings this month by clearing the small tasks first. The pattern is not procrastination. It is you buying time before the hard conversation.
Two inputs. One task per goal. Every day.
Every task, every reply, every nudge comes from two things combined: what Scout knows about you, and what the research says about people in your situation. All in service of the change, not the count.
1Scout learns you
You say what you are working toward. Scout asks what gets in the way and how much you can give. Every answer sharpens how Scout works with you.
2Scout applies the science
Behind every task is a behavioral-science principle aimed at your day. Not generic advice. Scout matches the evidence to your profile and your week.
3Scout gets sharper
Every task you finish and reflection you share tightens the read. After a few weeks, Scout knows how you operate and reaches out when something is worth naming.
Your first week
Day 1
Tell Scout your goal. Get your first task the same day.
Day 2
Scout shows you the why behind your plan.
Day 3
Your first letter arrives. A personal note about your first three days.
Sunday
The weekly rhythm begins. Every Sunday, a letter about your week.
What Scout notices
Traps
When you stall, Scout notes what got in the way. You write a plan for the pattern. Scout keeps its side of it.
Mood
Tell Scout you are drained and it eases the task, with your consent. Every adjustment makes next week smarter.
Threads
The Sunday letter carries themes forward. What mattered last week is not forgotten this week.
Privacy
Everything Scout learns lives in your profile. You can see it, correct it, or delete it anytime.
One app. Every kind of goal.
Check in, take the day, get the letter. The loop in six screens.
Today
One task per goal. Sized for a real day, built from who you actually are right now.
Weekly letter
Every Sunday, a letter that remembers your week and how it connects to the weeks before.
Chat
Ask Scout anything about your goals. Scout knows your patterns, your history, and what has worked.
Progress
Your week in one view. Mood, momentum, and what Scout noticed along the way.
From Scout
Scout notices your traps and rhythms, and holds up its end when you make a plan.
Every decision has a citation.
Scout is not built on intuition. Every task format and behavioral principle traces to published research. And every recommendation is filtered through your profile: what works for you, what gets in the way, what you have confirmed about yourself. The science is the foundation. Your profile is the lens. If a claim cannot be cited, Scout does not make it.

584 studies. 99 principles. One profile: yours.
Every task Scout assigns is drawn from the research and filtered through what Scout knows about you. Your patterns, your obstacles, what has actually worked for you. That combination is the product.
For people serious about change.
Scout is for people who are done starting over. You know what you want to change, you've tried before, and your life is too full for a system built for someone with nothing else going on. Scout learns how you work and grounds every task in published research, so your plan fits your real life instead of an ideal one.
- You have a demanding life and limited time. Every task is sized to fit a real day.
- You have stalled before. A missed day does not break your plan, by design.
- You want to understand why, not just what. Every task carries its reason.
- You want a partner, not a checklist. Scout remembers and gets sharper over time.
The Sunday letter.
"The nights you lose start the same way, with the kettle, but the phone gets there first. Instagram doesn't steal the whole evening. It steals the first five minutes, and the rest follows."
To someone painting thirty watercolor postcards
"The grocery runs that wreck the budget happen on Thursdays, after the long meetings. You walk in for three things and walk out with nine. The weeks you wrote the list on Wednesday night, you spent about forty dollars less."
To someone getting their grocery spending under control
"Practicing in the car has been your default, and it's also the place where signs disappear by the weekend. The fact that you did the work somewhere else, even once, says something about what you already suspect."
To someone learning twenty basic ASL signs

Questions worth answering before you download.
How is Scout different from a to-do list?
A to-do list captures what you already know you need to do. Scout figures out what to do next, based on your goal, your behavioral patterns, and where you are in your journey. You do not manage the list. Scout does. And Scout has read the research.
How is this different from asking an AI chatbot?
Chatbots respond to prompts. Scout operates without them. Scout builds a model of how you work, tracks your patterns over time, and reaches out when something is worth naming. You do not have to remember to open the app and ask the right question. Scout is already paying attention.
What if I miss a day, or a week?
Nothing resets. Scout does not track streaks or assign failure states. Scout picks up from where you are, not where you were supposed to be. The research on habit formation shows that missing days is a normal part of the process. Scout is designed around that reality.
How long does setup take?
About five minutes. You describe what you are working toward, share what gets in the way, and tell Scout how much time you can realistically give. Scout handles the rest. Your first task arrives the same day.
What does Scout learn about me, and who can see it?
Scout builds a behavioral profile from everything you tell Scout and everything Scout observes over time: what works for you, what gets in the way, the plans you write for your traps. Scout keeps track of what you confirmed versus what it inferred, and you can see, correct, or delete any of it anytime. That profile stays private. Your data is never sold, never used to train AI models, and never shared with advertisers or data brokers. It is shared only with the service providers that run Scout, listed in our Privacy Policy. It exists for one purpose: to make Scout a better partner for you.
