Launch Control

From the alarm to out the door

Make room
for a real
morning.

You know when you need to leave.
Give the morning before it a plan.

Launch Control plans backward from leave time, suggests what can wait when you’re late, and shows what to take before leaving. Measured mornings help you refine the next plan.

Tomorrow, with room to breathe
Example Launch Control Home: leave at 8:05, wake at 7:02, with seven Morning Steps totaling 48 minutes.

01 Start at the other end

The alarm is
only the start.

There’s a whole morning
between waking up and leaving.

Choose your leave time. Add the Morning Steps you actually do, with your own time estimates. Allow a little cushion. Launch Control works out when to wake.

That cushion is called Slack in the app. A little room for the things that don’t go quite to plan.

Your steps. Your estimates. Your leave time.

02 See what still fits

Forty minutes left.
Ten minutes spare.

The clock tells you one thing.
The steps still ahead tell you the rest.

Example Morning Board: 40 minutes until leaving, 30 minutes of steps remaining, 10 minutes spare. Pack bag is running.
The Morning Board · Example Morning

Meet your Margin

What’s left after
getting ready?

Forty minutes can feel like plenty. Until you remember the thirty minutes of getting ready still ahead.

The Morning Board shows both: time until leaving, and what’s left after your remaining Morning Steps. That second number is your Margin.

An example, based on the step times in your plan.
As the morning changes, the projection changes too.

03 When the morning changes

Running behind?
You still have
choices.

A suggestion for what to do next.
And the time it could give back.

When you’re running late, Launch Control can suggest skipping a step you’ve marked droppable. It shows how that choice would change your spare time.

Three minutes behind? In this example, skipping a ten-minute step would leave seven minutes spare. You see the proposal before making the call.

Skip it
Take the suggested step out of this morning.
Keep everything
Keep the plan and dismiss that suggestion.

You choose which steps can wait.
The app doesn’t make that choice for you.

Example Board, three minutes behind. A suggestion says skipping Breakfast, marked droppable in this example, would leave seven minutes spare. The choices are Skip it or Keep everything. Neither is selected.

Example Door Check with Keys, Wallet, Meds, Badge and Lunch. Wallet is checked off; four items remain before the user records departure.

04 Before you leave

Keys. Wallet.
The things
you need.

Getting ready is one thing.
Taking everything is another.

Build a Launch Kit for your Morning: keys, badge, lunch, or whatever needs to come with you.

When your Morning Steps are finished, Door Check brings that list forward. Check things off as you take them, see what’s still unchecked, and tap Launch when you leave.

Your things. Your list.
One last look before the door closes.

05 Real mornings inform the next plan

The app measures.
You decide.

Start with your best estimate.
Learn from what actually happens.

As you start and finish Morning Steps, Launch Control records their duration. After you log your departure, the completed steps help it propose more realistic times.

See the measurements

Planned time.
Real time.

The Plan Audit puts them side by side. Compare your plan with the measured times from your recent mornings and see where they differ.

Example Plan Audit: Breakfast was planned for 10 minutes and ran for a median of 6. Shower was planned for 10 and ran for 10. Measured times are ready to review at Check-in.

Review the proposal

A better fit.
With your say.

At Check-in, review the proposed times and choose which to apply—or leave them for later. Your plan changes only when you accept an adjustment.

Separate Check-in example: Shower’s measured 8 minutes matches the estimate; Breakfast is proposed to change from 10 to 12 minutes. Applying both keeps wake at 7:32 with 8 minutes of Slack. Apply all and Not now are available.

Separate example Mornings shown. Measured times use the median of each step’s latest completed runs, up to seven. Proposed times don’t update your plan automatically.
